Serious protection

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.
