Rosenbauer HEROS helmets are inspected and tested according to the strictest EN 443:2008 guidelines:

• Heat radiation test
  Eight minutes radiant heat at 14 kW/m2 (equals approx. 330 °C helmet temperature)

• Flame ingulfment
  After 10 seconds of full flame impingement at 1,000 °C, the protection function is fully intact. The helmet does not exhibit any structural damage and the internal equipment is undamaged. Neither afterflame nor afterglow occur (> 5 seconds) and the test head temperature amounts to only approx. 35 °C.

• Shock-absorption test
  A ball with a weight of 5 kg strikes the helmet from a height of 2 m (under heat conditions of approx. 300 °C)

• Penetration resistance test
  A pointy object with a weight of 1 kg strikes the helmet from a height of 1 m (under heat conditions of approx. 300 °C)
