Does the safety helmet have 3C certification?
2 Answers
Safety helmets have 3C certification. Function of 3C certification: The 3C mark is usually affixed to the surface of the product or molded into the product. Upon closer inspection, multiple oval-shaped "CCC" imprints can be found. Each 3C mark has a random code behind it, corresponding to a specific manufacturer and product. When the Certification Mark Distribution Management Center issues the compulsory product certification mark, it has already entered the product corresponding to the code into the computer database. Consumers can query the code through the National Quality Certification Center. Function of safety helmets: A safety helmet is a protective device used to safeguard the head. More specifically, it supplements the skull to protect the human brain. In daily life, it is used in hazardous work activities such as transportation, construction, and engineering. Therefore, relevant safety certifications are required for the safety of helmets, especially CE certification for exports to the European Union, to ensure the product's safety.
When I worked on construction sites before, I used many safety helmets. Based on my experience, safety helmets that comply with national standards must pass the 3C certification before they can be sold. Specifically, the GB2811-2019 standard clearly stipulates that all industrial safety helmets circulating in the Chinese market must pass the national compulsory product certification system, which is what we commonly refer to as 3C certification. If you look inside a qualified safety helmet, you'll find a laser-engraved 3C mark and certification number. I've checked those from reputable brands, and they all have this. It's important to note that many cheap helmets bought online or from street stalls haven't undergone testing and don't meet the required protective standards. Particularly, the impact resistance and flame retardancy of safety helmets must pass destructive tests in professional laboratories to be considered qualified. Therefore, when buying safety helmets, you must look for the 3C mark. Products without this certification are as good as wearing nothing—they won't provide any protection against falling objects from heights.
