New advices on dressage rules after the review of the UK dressage rules

Removal of the norm has no effect on riding hats already on the open air markets. As soon as a cap has been produced according to a certain quality level, it no longer becomes "atypical" after being withdrawn and can still be used. When the rider has an EN 1384 approved cap, he may use it unless otherwise specified in the contest regulations.

At the moment the current norm DE1384 is being revised. Part of the reason for the retreat is that the European working group on the Hutnorm has failed to agree on this long overdue revision and that the Commission has taken this dramatic break. It is still not clear when the definitive text of the EN 1384 revised text will be released.

A preliminary specifications has been prepared by a group of EU inspection agencies and designated entities (VG1), known as "VG1", which is also affixed to the hats. The hats are currently being tried and will be on the shelves in the near term.

Organizations can select which they use and incorporate the new UG1 spec, the updated European EN 1384 after its release, PAS015 or Snell. EN 1384 and thus the BSEN 1384 standards have proven to be a favourite European norm and have protected many drivers from injuries to the or deaths.

With these recent changes, the UK equestrian federations and events will review their own dress codes for the game. The reference to EN1384 has an effect on hats that only comply with this norm.

If hats are double marked (i.e. (BS) EN1384 with another norm such as Snell or PAS 015), then the cap is still legally competitive. EN1384 has successfully met the needs of drivers since its implementation in 1996. After the EN1384 was introduced, a repeated survey carried out by Dr. Michael Whitlock, Surrey's specialist in emergency medicine, showed a value of 15%.

We also found that 90% of the drivers wore an accepted off-the-shelf cap. Removing the norm from the journal removes the assumption of compliance for the purpose of the PPE guideline, which means that enterprises producing riding hats cannot use (BS)EN1384 as a CE certificate ref.
