ASTM F1446 - 20
ASTM International (ASTM)
Title

"Standard test methods for equipment and procedures used in evaluating the performance characteristics of protective headgear"

Description

These test methods specify equipment and procedures used for testing protective headgear. Individual ASTM performance standards (standard specifications) will use these procedures and equipment. Test conditions, pass-fail criteria, and other performance requirements will be specified in the individual performance standards, tailored to the needs of a particular activity (for example, bicycling, skateboarding, skiing, etc.).

Standard Type(s)
Test Method

A definitive procedure that produces a test result: Examples of test methods include, but are not limited to: identification, measurement, and evaluation of one or more qualities, characteristics, or properties. A precision and bias statement shall be reported at the end of a test method.

Personal Protective Equipment
Head Protection

All equipment and/or accessories (whether or not detachable) designed and manufactured specifically to protect the head (typically from impact). This includes hard hats that protect from impact and penetration hazards as well as from electrical shock and burn hazards.
