From the BD handbook rule 73
Protective hats must meet one of the following standards;
British – All PAS 015
European – VG1, EN1384 -2017
American – SEI ASTM F1163 04a onwards and SNELL E2001 and E2016
Australian & New Zealand – AS/NZS 3838 2003 onwards.
It is strongly recommended that members wear hats bearing the BSI kitemark in
addition to the published safety standard.
