Supplying bicycle safety helmets in large volumes requires conformity with the European CE marking for personal protective equipment. This indicates that each helmet has been evaluated against the essential health and safety requirements of Regulation (EU) 2016/425 and meets the performance criteria of EN 1078:2012+A1:2013.
The helmet’s impact attenuation is measured by dropping a 5 kg striker onto the helmet at 5.42 m/s, with the transmitted force limited to less than 250 g according to EN 1078. Typical energy absorption values range from 60 J to 80 J depending on liner density and shell geometry.
Shell thickness is generally between 2.0 mm and 3.5 mm for injection‑molded ABS or polycarbonate, providing sufficient stiffness to distribute impact loads while keeping mass low. The expanded polystyrene (EPS) liner density is selectable from 18 kg/m³ to 25 kg/m³, directly influencing both weight and crush‑stroke performance.
| Parameter | Typical Value | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Impact energy absorption (tested per EN 1078) | 60 – 80 | J |
| Penetration resistance (sharp object drop) | ≤ 10 mm | mm |
| Retention system strength | ≥ 500 | N |
| Weight (size M, ABS shell, 22 kg/m³ EPS) | 260 – 300 | g |
| Ventilation opening area | 12 – 18 | cm² |
| Head circumference range | 52 – 62 | cm |
| Applicable standards | EN 1078:2012+A1:2013; CE marked per Regulation (EU) 2016/425 | – |
Fleet operators such as bike‑sharing programs, corporate wellness initiatives, and event organizers require helmets that can be stocked, distributed, and replaced quickly while maintaining a uniform safety level. The CE marking simplifies customs clearance within the EU and provides a common baseline for liability reduction across multiple jurisdictions.
Because the helmets are supplied in cartons of 50 – 200 units, inventory turnover is improved and per‑unit handling costs decrease. The standardized sizing system (S, M, L, XL) with adjustable retention straps enables a single SKU to fit > 90 % of adult users, reducing the need for multiple size variants.
Each production lot undergoes a sampling plan based on ISO 2859‑1 (AQL 0.65 for critical defects). Critical checks include impact energy absorption on a drop‑test rig, penetration resistance using a standardized striker, and retention‑system tensile testing. Results are recorded with batch numbers and made available to the buyer upon request.
Visual inspection verifies surface finish, absence of flash, and correct placement of ventilation ports. Dimensional checks confirm shell thickness and liner depth using calibrated micrometers. All test equipment is calibrated quarterly against traceable standards.
Customization does not compromise the certified performance as long as modifications stay within the validated design envelope. Typical options include shell color matching to corporate Pantone values, screen‑printed or heat‑transfer logos on the front or rear vents, and alternative retention‑system designs (e.g., magnetic buckle or ratchet dial).
To obtain a formal quotation, provide the required quantity, preferred shell material, liner density, and any customization details (color, logo artwork, retention type). Our engineering team will review the specifications and return a detailed cost breakdown, lead time, and compliance documentation within two business days.
