Electric motorcycle travel is relatively green and environmentally friendly. However, there is a greater safety hazard without a helmet. A helmet is a device with extraordinary protective capabilities for the head, and is usually used in military training, combat, people’s transportation, and industrial production. The helmet is mostly semicircular and mainly consists of three parts: shell, lining and suspension device. Ancient helmets were mainly made of leather, cotton, linen and metal, and in modern times they are also made of resin or plastic.
There are strict technical standards for the manufacture of helmets, and inferior helmets often fail to meet the safety standards for collision prevention and cause danger. Many people may not know, how do you know that the helmet you bought is safe? In fact, simply judging whether the helmet is safe from whether the helmet is affixed with a certification mark cannot determine whether the helmet is safe, and there must be a corresponding test report and certification certificate. Mark certification is product-specific certification, focusing on the safety features of the product. It is a conformity certification that reflects the product’s requirements for public safety, health, environment and personal safety.| The helmet is placed on a head form and the chin strap fastened under a device approximating the contour of the jaw. The jaw piece is loaded with a 23 kg weight for approximately one minute. The retention system is tested by simultaneously removing the 23 kg weight and applying a 38 kg mass in an abrupt guided fall. | Dynamic Retention Test Method | Dynamic Test of Retention System for Helmet IS 4151 |
| The retention system fails if it cannot support the mechanical loads or if the maximum instantaneous deflection (stretch) of the retention system exceeds 30 mm. Drop heights for the 38 kg mass are different for each standard; however the mechanism and failure criteria are similar for other types of headgear. | ||
