Bump caps are intended to protect the wearer from static objects (e.g. walking into low ceilings or hanging obstructions).
To achieve the impact test, a 5 kg flat striker is dropped onto the bump cap from a height of 250 mm, with a maximum allowable transmitted force of 15 kN. Impacts are carried out on the front and rear of the bump cap, with the headform tilted at 30° and 60° to reflect the nature of any impacts likely in use.
Bump caps are intended to provide protection against sharp or pointed objects (such as corners or protruding elements of static objects).
A penetration test is carried out at lower energy and involves a 500g striker being dropped from a height 500mm onto the bump cap fitted to a fixed headform.
