Conforming to the below safety standard:

EN397

EN397 is the European Standard that specifies physical and performance requirements (including testing) for industrial safety helmets.

Testing procedure:

• Shock Absorption Test – A 5kg rounded striker is dropped on the crown of the helmet from 1m. The force transmitted to the head form cannot exceed 5KN.
• Resistance to Penetration Test – 3kg pointed striker dropped on the crown region, striker not allowed to contact the head form.
• Resistance to Flame Test – when exposed to a flame for 10 seconds and then removed, the shell must not set alight or self-extinguish within 5 seconds.

The relevant European standard can be found on the safety helmet, usually underneath the peak of the helmet so in this case look out for a EN397 standard for confirmation of performance.
