3) Flammability Protection

The helmet is exposed to a flame and it must not burn with flame emission more than 5 seconds after removal of the flame source.

Chin strap (where present) shall be released at a force between 15kg–25kg (150N–250N) - due to failure of the anchorages only. Test conducted at +50°C after the helmet being submitted to penetration test.
