For the APC1 version, a rigid lateral and chin guard (beard) can be attached to the universal slots on the helmet. A FR fabric lateral protection is also available. A full range of integrated head lamps with additional functions is also available.

Yes, all our accessories and headlamps are certified in accordance with the latest applicable standards. All accessories have passed testing to the following standards : EN 397:2025, EN 50365:2023, EN ISO 16321-1:2022 and EN IEC 62819:2023

It is important to distinguish between the standards applicable to helmets, face shield, and the combined assembly (helmet + face shield).

• For helmets : EN 397:2025, EN 50365:2023
• For face shield: EN ISO 16321-1:2022
• For the assembly (helmet + face shield) : EN IEC 62819:2023

Yes, it is perfectly possible to use several accessories at the same time. However, not all accessories are compatible with one another. If you are using the rigid lateral protection or the fabric version, ear defenders cannot be used. In this case, the solution is to use earplugs instead.

Integrated electronic modules are headlamp built into the VISARC helmet, with a dedicated mounting location provided for this purpose. A full range is available :

• VEA-1-BK-- : One part headlamp with integrated battery – with central black crest
• VEA-2-BK-- : Headlamp with rear battery pack – with black crest
• VEA-3-L*-BK-- : Headlamp with rear battery pack and personal voltage alarm – with black crest. L* : Reference to be completed with the sensitivity level of the personal voltage alarm (voltage range) available (L1 to L5).

Yes, all available accessories are compatible with simultaneous use of the headlamps module.

No, accessories are not automatically supplied with the helmet. Each accessory must be ordered separately as an additional line item. 

Yes, but only for the version fitted with the APC1 face shield.

Yes, the helmet has been designed to be fully modular. It is also possible to replace the black crest with a coloured crest to identify teams on a shared site (for example, to distinguish the work supervisor from the lockout tagout supervisor). This allows only the helmet's crest to be changed according to the operator's role, in addition to the accessories mentioned above.

In addition to the coloured crests, we offer a logo personalisation service using high quality adhesive labels certified to the same standard as the helmet. PENTA Electrical Safety Products can apply the label to the crest, or you can apply it yourself.

For an order including a coloured crest, the helmet will be shipped assembled with the black crest as standard. The coloured crest will be included separately within the helmet's packaging.

Using the label supplied with each single helmet, to be affixed by the user at the time of commissioning or first use.

Yes, our teams have developed an interactive configurator available on our website, showcasing all possible configurations with an instant visual preview.

The VISARC helmet is delivered in individual cardboard packaging, together with a microfibre wipe and a protective carry bag.
