ANSI ISEA Z89.1 Standard Test for Industrial Head Protection

EUROLAB, together with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of ANSI ISEA Z89.1 testing. This standard provides performance and testing requirements for industrial helmets, commonly known as hard hats. It determines the types and classes of protective helmets depending on the type of danger encountered.

It includes specifications for helmets designed to protect against lateral impacts or overhead impacts only, giving employers and users the flexibility to identify the helmet that best meets the needs of their particular workplace.

ANSI ISEA Z89.1 was prepared by members of ISEA's Chief Protection Group as a revision of ANSI Z89.1 and approved by a consensus review panel of users, government agencies and security experts.

Industrial head protection helmets that meet the requirements of this standard are classified as Type I for top protection or Type II for side impact protection. Both types are tested for impact attenuation and penetration resistance. Type II helmet performance requirements include criteria for impact energy attenuation from front, rear and sides as well as overhead impacts; off-center penetration resistance and chin strap retention.
