fOREWORD·
This Indian Standard ( Third Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft
finalized by the Fire Fighting Sectional Committee had been approved by the Civil Enaineelinl Division
Council.
Helmet is one of the most important items of personal protective equipment used by motorcycle riders
for protection against the hazards connected with driving on roads. This standard has been framed to
cover provisions of protective helmets for everyday .usc by the motorcycle riders.
The protection given by wearing of the helmets for which requirements have been laid in this standard
is Dot complete and wearing of the helmet may not prevent injury and/or death in severe accidents.
This standard was first issued as an emergency indian Standard in 1967 (made as firm in 1968) and
subsequently revised in 1976 and 1982. This revision has been taken up on the basis of experience gained
during these years and to bring in line with latest thinking at international level, such as European
regulations ( EEC regulation No. 22.03 ) and proposed draft revision of ISO/DIS IS11. The principal
modifications included from point of view of added safety are:
a) Shock absorption test based on deceleration criteria.
b) New tests for chin guard and for effectiveness of the retention system.
c) Inclusion of side impact test under various conditions of temperature and humidity.
d) Allowance for ventilation of the head, while wearing the helmet.
However, the requirements for headform are given in IS 7692 : 1993 'Specification for wooden head-
form for testing of helmets' matching with the requirements given in EEC regulation No. 22.03 and
ISO/DIS 6220 -Headfcrms for use in the testing of protective helmets'.
The committee responsible for preparation of this standard is given at Annex J.
For the purpose of deciding wnether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final
value, observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shall be rounded off in aecor..
dance with IS 2 : 1960 ' Rules for rounding off numerical values ( rnbed ) '. The number of significant
places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this
standard.
