First Quarter Hard Hat Product Quality Inspection in Anhui on a "Black List"

This round of testing involved 80 batches of hard hats collected from 10 provinces and municipalities, including Beijing and Anhui. A total of 12 key indicators were evaluated, such as impact absorption performance under high temperature, low temperature, and water immersion conditions, as well as puncture resistance. Out of the tested items, six failed the inspection. Among them, a hard hat manufactured by Huaibei Xingguang Lighting Technology Co., Ltd. on December 4, 2013, for the "special plastic (anti-static, flame-retardant) mine safety helmet," failed three critical tests: high temperature impact absorption, submerged impact absorption, and low temperature puncture resistance.

Hard hats are classified as essential labor protection equipment by the state and must comply with the industrial product production license system and the safety mark certification system. Impact absorption performance refers to the helmet's ability to absorb part of the force from falling objects, thereby reducing the risk of cervical injury. This feature is the most important safety characteristic of a helmet, directly affecting the safety of the wearer. If the helmet shell or inner lining fails to meet required strength standards, it can lead to catastrophic consequences during an accident.
