The
European directive for “Individual Protection Equipment” of
1989, taken in the French law, decree
N° 92-765 of 29th
July, 1992, made it mandatory for all importers or manufacturers
who offer individual protection equipment, to sell products
with the CE stamp only, and this since the 1st July, 1996
. To obtain the CE stamp, products have to be tested by one
of the approved European laboratory.
Compared to the
former riding hats with a plastic shell and an elastic chin
strap, CE products feature:
• First, they come with
a solid harness to avoid any risk of loosing the helmet.
• Second,
they have a soft visor or no visor at all to avoid nose fractures
in case the hat slides down.
• Third and most important
point compared to the former models, they must have a polystyrene
crown or any other thick shock proof material, absorbent
enough to pass the shock absorbing tests.
Riding hats without
these features are considered as traditional hats and not
as head protection.
All our head protection gear is in compliance
with CE standards. The tests passed are equivalent to EN1384
norm. |
