World War. At first there was a preliminary standard for the helmets in February 1956. There then was the 1st norm for the fire safety helmet in January 1962. In the meeting of the norm committee AA1 in May 1964 the standard sheet 14940 was adopted. The color was defined exactly only here. Although the color was already allowed in the first preliminary standard in yellowish-green, black helmets (in Bavaria red helmets) further could be worn. Chairman of the norm committee was Engineer Seegerer. The DIN14940 changes: June 1954, outline February 1956, preliminary standard January 1962, norm May 1966, outline December 1968, consequence version September 1979, consequence version December 1981, consequence version August 1982, consequence version July 1985, consequence version December 1989, consequence version April 1990, consequence version The DIN 14940 is replaced by the EN 443 in December 1997.
