GS-ET-29 : APC1 (Face Shield Arc-Flash Protection)
Eye protection norms : Lens marking, Eyes protection norms
Eyes protection norms : EN 166, EN 170, GS-ET-29, EN ISO16321-1
Screen marking : 2C-1.2 1 ET9KN

Use
Protection of the face and head against the thermal effects of an electric arc (Arc-Flash), with an energy incidence for an electrical installation of up to 4 kA, and a working distance of 30 cm (APC 1)
Protection against thermal effects from an electric arc and arc flash, falling objects, UV radiation and molten metal splashes in particular.

Features
Helmet:
• Double shell for optimum protection against electrical and Arc-Flash risks. In ABS material
• 6-point textile harness, with wide sweatband, and very precise adjustment of the ratchet knob with push-pull system
• Head size (cm): 53-63
• 4-point chin strap, with quick release closing and opening system. Easy to use with insulated gloves

SHOCK ABSORPTION
This test validates the helmet’s ability not to transmit the impact of a shock to the operator’s head (e.g. when a heavy object is dropped).
A 5kg round striker is dropped on the helmet from a height of 1 metre.
The force transmitted to the false head must not exceed 5kN.

PENETRATION RESISTANCE
This test validates the helmet’s ability not to be pierced by a sharp, heavy object (e.g. a falling spanner).
A 3kg pointed firing pin is dropped from a height of 1 metre.
The firing pin must not come into contact with the false head

ANCHORING THE CHINSTRAP
This test is used to check that the chinstrap can unhook, avoiding tearing the operator’s head off (example of an operator bending down and hitting a protruding part). A tensile force of 150 N is applied to the chinstrap and then increased in increments of 20 N.
The chinstrap anchorage must detach for forces of between 150N and 250N

FLAME RESISTANCE
This test verifies that the helmet does not catch fire in the event of contact with a flame (example: case of fire following a short circuit).
Helmet turned upside down, cap exposed to propane flame for 10s
The materials must not burn with flame emission for more than 5 s after the flame is withdrawn.

ELECTRICAL RESISTANCE TEST
This test checks that the helmet provides insulating electrical protection for the head in the event of contact with a live conductor.
The helmet, which is placed upside down, is filled with water and is itself immersed in a tank of water. A voltage up to 30kV (class 2, according to EN 50365) is generated between the two water reserves.
No perforation should occur.

ENDURANCE TESTING
Above and beyond the norm, we put our helmets to the test by cycling the screen and shield up and down.

Face shield:
• Ergonomic, polycarbonate material
• Optical quality (Class 1), for extended wear, without deformation, and without visual fatigue
• Resistant to molten metals (symbol 9)
• Resistance to particles launched at high speed (80m/s - symbol DT )
• UV resistance (index UL 1.2 for colorless face shield / UL 1.7 for tinted face shield)
• Inside : fog resistant (symbol N)
• Outside : Scratch resistant (symbol K)

Lifespan : 5 years from start of use
(after storage under recommended conditions for up to 3 years)
