Non-Mandatory These standards include specifcations for helmets designed to ofer protection from top ANSI/ISEA Z89.1-2014 Tests and/or lateral impact. Reverse Donning [ ] Three classes included in these standards indicate helmet electrical insulation rating: To enable a helmet to be worn in Class E (Electrical) – Helmets intended to reduce the danger of exposure to high-voltage reverse, or a swing ratchet suspension electrical conductors, proof-tested at 20,000 volts. to be used in a helmet, that particular Class G (General) – Helmets intended to reduce the danger of exposure to low-voltage helmet must be marked with the electrical conductors, proof-tested at 2,200 volts. “double-arrowed circle” to indicate that it meets the non-mandatory reverse Class C (Conductive) – Helmets do not provide protection from electrical conductors. donning test. Industrial head protection test requirements per ANSI/ISEA Z89.1-2014 and CSA Z94.1-2015 are separated by helmet type: Type I helmets protect wearers from top impact, while Type II Lower Temperature [LT] helmets protect wearers from top and lateral impact. Test requirements for ANSI/ISEA Z89.1- The traditional low temperature test 2014 and CSA Z94.1-2015 are available from the Industrial Safety Equipment Association for a helmet is -18°C or 0°F. Helmets (www.safetyequipment.org) and www.CSA.ca, respectively. that meet ANSI Z89.1 requirements In addition to three non-mandatory tests for reverse donning [ ], lower temperature for LOWER temperatures (-30°C or -22°F) [LT] and high-visibility [HV], the ANSI/ISEA Z89.1-2014 standard also includes these can be marked with LT by the provisions: manufacturer. n Section 5: Accessories and Replacement Components High-Visibility [HV] Revised standard includes language to further support the premise that accessory/ Helmets that meet non-mandatory component manufacturers are responsible for proving that their products do not cause helmets to fail. requirements for high-visibility, including special tests forchromaticity and n Section 6: Instructions and Markings luminescence for added visibility, can be Clarifcation language was added to help customers understand that “useful service marked with HV by the manufacturer. life” for helmets is not required by the Standard, although helmet manufacturers may choose to include it. Higher Temperature [HT] n Section 7.3.3 Higher Temperatures (HT) The traditional pre-conditioning Revision enables additional protection in response to needs of users who may work temperature test for a helmet is 48.8°C within hot environments. Optional preconditioning at higher temperatures of 60°C ± 2°C (120°F ± 3.6°F). Helmets that ± 2°C (140°F ± 3.6°F) has been added.
