SAFEFIT has the same certification as Horse Pilot, ALLSHOT, Free Jump, Peneloppe, Equitheme and the latest Hit-Air which is NF72-800:2022
The AFNOR ND 72-800:2022 standard outlines requirements and testing methods for airbag vests, particularly for their use in equestrian sports. Here are the main parts that are typically tested under this standard:
1. **Inflation Time**: The speed at which the airbag inflates after activation is crucial for rider safety.
2. **Impact Protection**: The ability of the airbag to absorb and distribute impact forces during a fall is tested. This includes checking how effectively it protects vital areas of the body.
3. **Coverage Area**: The extent of the protection area provided by the airbag vest is assessed to ensure it adequately covers key impact zones.
4. **Durability and Wear Resistance**: The materials used in the vest, including the airbag itself, are tested for their durability, resistance to abrasion, and overall wear over time.
5. **Activation Mechanism**: The reliability and functionality of the mechanism used to activate the airbag are evaluated to ensure that it deploys correctly in the event of a fall.
6. **Tether Strength**: The tensile strength of the tether that connects the vest to the saddle is analyzed, ensuring it can withstand the forces during a fall without breaking.
7. **Comfort and Fit**: While not a safety test per se, the vest's design is evaluated to ensure it provides a comfortable fit for the rider, which is essential for practicality and user acceptance.
8. **Temperature and Humidity Resistance**: Testing may include the vest's performance under various environmental conditions to ensure consistency in function regardless of weather.
9. **Weight and Bulkiness**: Assessment of the vest’s overall weight and bulkiness to ensure it does not hinder the rider's movement.
These tests are designed to ensure that airbag vests meet safety requirements and provide effective protection for riders in various equestrian activities.
