1.1This specification covers performance requirements for helmets used in BMX cycling. Studies have shown higher risk to the head and face for this sport as compared to recreational street riding; therefore, this specification requires impact protection over a larger area of the head than Specification F1447 and the CPSC standard. This specification also provides performance criteria for helmets equipped with chin bars.
1.2All testing and requirements of this specification shall be in accordance with Test Methods F1446 except where noted herein.
1.3Partial utilization of this specification is prohibited. Any statement of compliance with this specification shall be a certification that the headgear with faceguard meets all of the requirements of the specification in their entirety. A headgear with faceguard that fails to meet any one of the requirements of this specification is considered to have failed the specification, and shall not be sold with any indication that it meets parts of the specification.
1.4Headgear designed to comply with this and other standards may proclaim uses as certified by the manufacturer.
1.5This standard is subject to revision at any time by ASTM. It must be reviewed every five years and if not revised either reapproved or withdrawn.

No references to a version that has been replaced or withdrawn shall be placed on any product or its packaging manufactured more than 24 months after the effective revision or withdrawal date. Go to astm.org to verify the latest version of this standard.
1.6The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard.
1.7This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use.
