ISEA is now accepting public review comments in response to its proposed new standard, ISEA 100 Industrial Bump Caps. The proposed standard establishes testing, minimum performance and labeling requirements for bump caps intended to provide protection to a wearer against the effects of striking their head against stationary objects and incurring laceration or other superficial injuries.
Products covered under the scope of this standard are not intended to provide protection from hazards caused by falling or moving objects.
Products not marked as FR have not been tested for Flame Resistance and may not provide protection when exposed to high heat or open flame.
Note – An industrial bump cap should not be confused with an industrial hard hat, as specified in ANSI/ISEA Z89.1.
The public review period will close on September 16, 2024.
A copy of the draft standard under consideration is available from ISEA’s website here.
There is a $50 charge for the document. Any comments or questions should be directed, in writing, to standards@safetyequipment.org.
