Scope

1.1 This test method covers the determination of the shock-attenuation characteristics of protective headgear for football.

1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

Significance and Use

Maximum acceleration and time duration data obtained by the specified procedures are intended to determine the shock attenuation characteristics of a headgear.

Note 1—These data can be used at a later date to assess the protection afforded to the head when blows are delivered to the helmet.
