Following an extensive assessment and evaluation period, helmet manufacturer Helmet Integrated Systems Ltd (HISL) has announced the availability of the Cromwell F900 Fire Fighters Helmet.
The company has been the UK's leading manufacturer of helmets for more than 80 years. The new Cromwell F900 represents yet another step forward, both for HISL and the industry, and demonstrates the company's commitment to improving the fire helmet sector.
The new helmet is approved to the latest standards for structural fire helmet protection, (helmet to EN443:2008 and face guard to EN14458:2004). The optically correct high energy impact resistant polyphenylsulfone (PPSU) face guard with anti-abrasion and anti-fog protective coatings is certified to the high energy impact requirement of EN14458:2004 at extremes of temperatures. Furthermore, the modular design includes a detachable face guard cover, which protects the most vulnerable area of the helmet and is easily replaced if damaged, helping to reduce the life cycle costs and protecting the integrity of the helmet shell.
HISLs Research and Development Manager, Martin Gouldthorpe said:
"The new helmet provides increased standards of protection and comfort, combined with the advantage of minimising service and repair costs. Its unique internal liner absorbs impact and deflects heat providing an effective insulation barrier."
This is the latest addition to a growing product range for Company based in Hertfordshire and Scotland, with recent announcements about its police public order helmets obtaining CE accreditation and developments across its range of PAPR and Air Fed respirators for industrial use. The new helmet joins a range of fire helmets offered by the company, including the Cromwell F600 which is certified to the earlier standards (EN443:1997, EN166:2001) and the USAR, General Rescue and Wild Land Fire solution the Cromwell ER1, which is in operation worldwide.
