TYPE II TESTING CRITERIA


Type II head protection meets all Type I performance criteria in addition to three further requirements for multi-directional protection.


02_OFF-CENTER PENETRATION

A penetrator is dropped vertically, while the hard hat is rotated at various angles above a set test line. The penetrator must not make contact with the head form.


01_IMPACT ENERGY ATTENTUATION

The head protection is dropped onto a spherical object at different angles above a designated test line to ensure it effectively absorbs impact energy.


03_CHINSTRAP RETENTION

If the head protection includes a chin strap, it must pass a retention test. The chin strap must stay attached and not stretch more than one inch in length. This is optional.
