ASTM F2530-13(2020)

Annotation of standard text ASTM F2530-13(2020) :

This specification covers performance requirements and describes test methods for protective headgear with faceguards for use in bull riding. The purpose of this specification is to provide reliable and repeatable test methods for the evaluation of headgear with faceguards. Satisfaction of this specification is intended to reduce forces reaching the head in some of the impacts that may occur in bull riding and to limit contact with the facial features of the rider. Reference or full-facial headform shall be subjected to standard drop test method, using equipment used in evaluating the performance characteristics of a protective headgear. The simulated horn to be used is a rigid steel rod representative of a bull´s horn. The headgear shall be subject to retention system testing involving positional stability testing and dynamic strength retention testing.
