EN 1078

EN 1078, entitled "Helmets for pedal cyclists and for users of skateboards and roller skates," is a European standard published in 1997. It is the basis of the identical British Standard "BS EN 1078:1997". Compliance with this standard is one way of complying with the requirements of the European Personal Protective Equipment Directive (PPE; 89/686/EEC).

EN 1078 specifies requirements and test methods for bicycle helmets, skateboard and roller skate helmets. It covers helmet construction including field of vision, shock absorbing properties, retention system properties including chin strap and fastening devices, as well as marking and information.cite web|title=BS EN 1078:1997|author=BSI Group|url=http://www.bsi-global.com/en/Standards-and-Publications/Industry-Sectors/Health-and-Safety/H--S-Products/BS-EN-10781997]
