The latest high performance, side
impact industrial safety helmet from
JSP meets the new European
Standard EN14052, a higher level
standard for head protection than the
existing EN397. Called the Mk8
Evolution TM or EVO8, it offers
serious protection from side impacts
as well as severe crown impacts.
Under EN14052 the helmet is required to protect against forces of over 100 joules in the crown impact area, compared to 49 joules required under EN397, as well as protecting against a second impact to 49 joules on the same helmet initially tested.
In addition though, EN14052 requires protection from side impacts of 50 joules.
