Guide for the use of HANS® in
international motor sport
The HANS® (Head And Neck Support) head restraint
Issue: 01/07/2007
1. Choosing a HANS®
HANS® devices exist not only in different sizes but with different angles between the yoke and
collar. The manufacturer or supplier should be consulted on the best model for the motor sport
activity and car concerned.
2. Safety harness with HANS®
2.1 The safety belts must be homologated to the FIA standards and it is strongly recommended
to use only 6 point harnesses homologated to FIA standard 8853/98; these must NOT feature energy
conversion in the shoulder straps (asm® - Anti submarining) EXCEPT if 4-point, in which case asm®
may be of benefit.
Harness models are homologated with the standard shoulder strap width of 75mm, as well as a
special width of 50mm marked "for HANS® use only": either model may be used.
2.2 The length adjustment device of the shoulder belt shall be positioned on the HANS® yoke with
the upper edge not more than 70mm from the lower edge of the HANS® yoke as shown in Figure
1 (this does not apply in the case of the double shoulder belt system described in point 2.5).
Max.
70mm
Figure 1. Correct position of shoulder strap length adjustment device on HANS® yoke
2.3 The shoulder strap anchorage points on the car shall be symmetrical about the centre line of
the driver’s seat. When viewed from above, the angle between the belts shall be approximately
20°-25° as shown in Figure 2.

No regulatory value
This can be achieved with reference to the values in Tables 1 to 4 which have been calculated
based on 75mm wide belts (values for 50mm wide belts are shown in brackets) and four HANS®
collar sizes: 120mm, 140mm, 160mm and 180mm. Negative values indicate that the belts are
crossed. These values should be closely respected, but a tolerance of +/-20 mm would be
acceptable. Belt movement in the anchorages should be taken into account.
The values in red (underlined) denote that theoretical separation is less than belt width. In this case
it is recommended that the belts are installed side by side to avoid any overlap; hence the actual
separation shall be equal to the belt width. If the value is negative, the belts should be crossed.
NB: shoulder straps over 200mm long are permitted but not recommended.

Figure 4. Side view to show recommended belt angles
In accordance with Article 253-6 of Appendix J to the International Sporting Code it is particularly
important to prevent any lateral movement of the belt anchorage points by the application of
adequate provisions. Screw inserts in conformity with Article 253-6 of Appendix J are recommended.
2.5 Double shoulder belt system: a safety harness system with two straps on each shoulder is
homologated by the FIA and may be used. It provides one body-belt that is positioned on the
driver's shoulders (beneath the HANS®) and a second HANS®-belt that is positioned on the HANS®
yokes (as for standard HANS® use). It is important that the HANS®-belt is at least as tight as the
body-belt. A drawing of the double belt system is shown in Figure 5.

No regulatory value
For Formula Cars and other cars where the shoulder belt anchorage is less than 200mm behind
the rear edge of the HANS®-belt-bearing-surface (ie X < 200 mm), the body-belt anchorage points
should be positioned 60mm +/- 15mm below the HANS®-belt anchorage points (see Figure 6).
60mm +/- 15mm
Figure 6. Installation of HANS® double belts in cars where (X = < 200mm)
For closed cars and other cars where the shoulder belt anchorage is more than 200mm behind
the rear edge of the HANS®-belt-bearing-surface (ie X > 200 mm), the body-belt anchorage points
should be the same height as the HANS®-belt anchorage points (see Figure 7).
HANS-belt
Body-belt
Figure 7. Installation of HANS® double belts in cars where (X = > 200mm)
In both cases (X < 200mm and X > 200mm), the HANS®-belts should be installed as detailed in
sections 2.3 and 2.4.
If the HANS®-belts and body-belts are installed on the same roll cage tube, the HANS®-belts shall
respect the dimensions in Tables 1 to 4 and should be attached to the tube inboard of the bodybelts, as shown in Figure 7. The body-belts may, exceptionally, be installed with a greater dimension
Y if necessary to accommodate this, up to the point of being parallel to each other, but not
divergent.
No regulatory value
When using double shoulder belts, there MUST be a minimum distance B between the lower edge
of the HANS®-yokes and the merging of the two belts where the HANS®-belt is sewn to the bodybelt (see figure 8).
A
B
Figure 8. Minimum distance between HANS® yokes and double-shoulder belt merge point
The minimum distance B shall be determined as follows:
the driver shall be seated in the car in the normal driving position, wearing the HANS® and
helmet and with the safety harness fastened;
the driver should lean his/her body and head forward as far as possible - in this position the
horizontal distance from the front surface of the HANS®-collar to the rearmost point of the
helmet shall be measured (distance A);
minimum distance B = 100mm – distance A.
3. Preparation of HANS®
3.1 The upper surface of the HANS®'a8 shall be covered in a high friction rubber to grip the lower
surface of the shoulder straps. If the HANS®'a8 is painted (only in conformity with the manufacturer's
instructions) it is essential that the rubber is left completely uncovered to ensure that the friction
with the shoulder belts is not compromised. Any painted HANS®'a8 shall respect the flame resistance
requirement of FIA Standard 8858-2002. The condition of the rubber surface should be monitored
– no breakage, ripping, tears or other damage is acceptable. In case of repair, it shall be done
strictly in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
3.2 It is recommended that the surface of the HANS®'a8 in contact with the driver’s body is padded
for comfort. Approved foams, gel-pads and air-pads are permitted and it is recommended that
the padding is covered in flame retardant material. The maximum thickness is 15mm. When using
air-pads it is recommended that a thin gel-pad is added with strong double sided tape to the lower
surface of the HANS®'a8 such that in the event of deflation of the air-pad, there will be some
residual comfort padding.
4. Headrests and cockpit surrounds with HANS®
In order to ensure compatibility with the rear headrest, sufficient clearance is necessary between
the rear of the HANS® and the seatback bulkhead or top of the seat. The minimum necessary is
25mm. Where possible the installation should enable the headrest to be fully compressed by the
helmet and HANS® without any interaction with the seatback bulkhead or top of the seat.
No regulatory value
5. Helmets with HANS®
5.1 An FIA approved helmet conforming to FIA 8858-2002 or FIA 8860-2004 (or latest revisions) fitted
with helmet-tether-anchorages shall be used. Please refer to FIA Technical List 29 for further details.
5.2 The position of the helmet-tether-anchorages shall comply with FIA 8858-2002. It is strongly
recommended to use helmets with helmet-tether-anchorage inserts fitted by the manufacturer
as original equipment: these are identified by a glossy silver holographic FIA label as illustrated in
figure 9.

Figure 9. Label for identifying helmets originally equipped with HANS® inserts.
5.3 Original Equipment helmet-anchorages should not be removed for painting the helmet.
However, if it is apparent that the helmet-anchorages have been removed, they shall be correctly
refitted with thread locking compound.
6. Tethers with HANS®
6.1 The two tethers should be adjusted to the same length.
6.2 It is not recommended to fit the tethers very short and tight. A nominal length is 150mm. A
tolerance of +/- 25mm is acceptable. The length shall be measured from the leading edge of the
HANS® collar to the point of connection to the outside of the helmet.
6.3 The condition of the tethers and clamping brackets and the screws securing them to the back
of the HANS® should be closely monitored and they should be replaced if any wear is observed.
7. Car evacuation with HANS®
It is essential to practice rapid evacuations from the car with full race equipment fitted (including
race attire, steering wheel, radio system and drink system if applicable). This will help to ensure
successful emergency evacuation, in the case of an accident. Apertures in which the HANS®
collar might catch during evacuation should be filled in where possible.
8. HANS® in non-competitive driving
It is unsafe to drive (or co-drive) wearing a HANS® device not attached to a helmet. Therefore
whenever a helmet is not worn, for example on rally liaison sections, the HANS® shall be removed
also.
9. Accident damage
After a heavy impact that involves loading of the HANS®, it is recommended to replace the Helmet
and HANS®. The respective manufacturers may be able to provide an inspection service to
determine whether the Helmet or HANS® has suffered any damage during less severe impacts.

Sistema Hans
“Head And Neck Support”
História
O Sistema foi inventado e desenvolvido no início dos anos 80 por Robbert Hubbard
(Dr.) professor de engenharia biomecânica nos Estados Unidos, em conjunto com o
seu cunhado, o piloto Jim Downing, após a morte por fractura cervical de um amigo
comum durante uma sessão de testes.
O que é
Como todas as grandes invenções, o sistema Hans é extraordinariamente simples:
uma estrutura em carbono, duas correias e dois fixadores.
O sistema Hans é seguramente a maior inovação em matéria de segurança, depois
do capacete integral e do fato ignífugo. O sistema Hans patente da HUBBARD /
DOWNING INC é em termos de utilização, enquadrado pela norma FIA 8858-2002 e
obrigatório já em muitas provas desportivas em todo o mundo.
Para além da HUBBARD / DOWNING INC. Existem mais duas firmas licenciadas
para o fabrico dos sistemas, o “Stand 21 Racewear” e a “Schroth Safety
Products”. Acabam por ser em termos práticos, estas duas firmas que fornecem
todos os distribuidores presentes no mercado como por exemplo a “Omp” (Stand
21) e a “Sparco” (Schroth).
Para que serve
Para reduzir em cerca de 80% o risco de fractura das vértebras cervicais e da
ruptura muscular na zona do pescoço / costas (quando o piloto é sujeito a uma
súbita desaceleração), o que resulta na principal causa de morte no desporto
automóvel.
Em testes de impacto frontal a 56Km/h, é provocada uma tensão no pescoço de
5100N (que com sistema HANS passa a 860N) e a deslocação da cabeça passa de
40cm para cerca de 26cm (valores médios aproximados).
O sistema ajuda a transferir a energia cinética do corpo (cabeça) para o sistema /
cintos.
O que obriga
Toda a sua utilização está prevista e regulamentada pela norma FIA 8858-2002.
O piloto terá que adquirir o sistema que melhor se lhe adapta e ao carro que utiliza.
O sistema apenas obriga à utilização de um capacete homologado e
preparado para tal.
Terá no entanto, em termos de cintos e banco, de proceder aos ajustes necessários
à correcta utilização do Sistema “Hans”.
A escolha
Ao Piloto existem no mercado 3 “larguras” do sistema consoante o perímetro do
pescoço do Piloto:
- Small de 30,5 a 38cm
- Medium de 38 a 45,5cm ou 47cm
- Large maior do que 45,5cm ou que 47cm
(consoante o fabricante)
Ao Carro existem cinco ângulos a usar conforme a inclinação do assento, e não
existindo uma norma rígida, poderemos, como ponto de partida, usar do seguinte
modo:
10º Piloto / Navegador Rally e TT
20º Piloto de Turismo e GT e alguns Navegadores de Rally e TT
25º Piloto muito novo (Homem ou mulher magros e leves) Turismo e GT
30º Piloto Fórmulas, Protótipos, Barchetas
40º Piloto Fórmulas
Para além desta selecção, em alguns dos casos existem 2 tipos de acabamento:
Dito profissional mais leve, mais caro
Dito amador mais pesado, mais barato
(diferenças na ordem de 120gr).
Após a selecção do sistema certo, o piloto terá que ter um capacete que permita a
utilização do sistema (Lista Técnica FIA nº 29, parte 2).
Este capacete terá que ter homologação FIA para uso em “Motorsport” com Hans
(FIA8860-2004, SA2000 (até 31-12-2008), SA2005 e BS6658-85 Type A/FR).
Os parafusos (se for o caso) do capacete, deverão ter gravada a norma FIA e a sua
aplicação (pelo fabricante) deverá ter uma etiqueta FIA (cinza metalizado).
Existem dois sistemas de fixação ao capacete sem parafusos e sem ganchos nas
correias (Stilo e Schuberth), o que torna o conjunto mais leve.
No que diz respeito aos cintos e aos bancos, qualquer modelo com homologação
pode ser usado com o sistema.
O sistema não obriga por sí à compra de cintos e / ou bancos novos.
No entanto, já se encontram disponíveis no mercado produtos desenvolvidos após a
introdução do sistema Hans. Como tal a sua utilização melhora a comodidade de
utilização do sistema.
Já existem empresas e técnicos certificados no país desde 2003.
Aconselhe-se com alguém competente e experiente.
Leia atentamente toda a documentação disponível em www.fia.com.
Só é eficaz se bem usado. A sua má utilização reduz a sua eficiência.
O sistema só está perfeito quando o piloto não sentir que o está a usar.

there is an integrated headrest as mentioned in 3).
2. The shape and fit of the seat in the cockpit will be such that:
- no head restraint worn by the driver may be less than 25mm from any structural part of the car
when he is seated in his normal driving position;
- removable shoulder supports can be fitted on either side if necessary.
3. Normally the seat shall be designed with a slot in the back to accept a head stabilisation device
which is issued to all extrication crews in the FIA Extrication Bag. The dimensions of this device and
slot are given in Figures 1 and 2 respectively.

Figure 2: Seat slot for FIA head
stabilisation device
An alternative model, used in some existing formula cars, has an integral head support which
extends upwards, with a minimum width of 90mm, as far as a horizontal tangent to the top of the
driver's head.
4. The seat must be removable without the need to cut any of the seat belts or remove the harness
buckle.
The shoulder and lap belts must fall away over the seat edges as it is withdrawn and the crotch
straps must pass freely through the seat bottom hole or holes, which must be located in front of
the driver's crotch.
Any seat liner must have the same holes as the seat shell, identical and perfectly aligned with them
in order to prevent the harness straps being trapped.
However, if the lap straps have to pass through holes in the seat, it is necessary to fit the car with
a harness having the buckle attached to a shoulder belt, given that the buckle will not pass
between the driver's body and the side of the seat.

5. The seat shall be located in the chassis such that it is firmly fixed horizontally. It is important that
the seat shall not be displaced or fractured by lateral or longitudinal accelerations. To achieve
this it is recommended to eliminate any voids between seat and chassis.
If it is mechanically secured, this must be done with no more than two bolts. If bolts are used they
must:
- be clearly indicated and easily accessible to rescue crews;
- be fitted vertically;
- be removable with a 4mm Allen key, issued to all extrication crews in the FIA Extrication Bag.
6. The seat must be equipped with the following straps and anchorages (see figures 3 and 4) for
immobilising the driver and lifting the seat, with the help of the contents of the FIA Bag (see bag
contents in Appendix).
Figure 4. Detail of lower straps
Figure 3. Disposition of strap receptacles
- 2 shoulder straps, diagonally crossed from right side of thorax to top left corner (red strap) and
from left side of thorax to top right corner (blue strap), attached with plastic adjuster buckles. The
female buckle receptacles* at the shoulders are mounted on webbing loops in the corresponding
colours, on to which 2 of the black lifting straps from the FIA Bag will also be clipped.
- 1 buckle receptacle* on each side of the seat at hip level, to receive one of the orange immobilising
straps from the FIA Bag
- 1 buckle receptacle* on each side at the bottom end of the seat, to receive the other orange
immobilising strap from the FIA Bag and mounted on orange webbing loops onto which the other
2 black lifting straps from the FIA Bag will also be clipped.
*See buckle references in Appendix.
The straps shall be:
- in 50mm wide seat belt webbing;
- preferably in the colour corresponding to their function;
- permanently exposed at the edges of the seat so as to be immediately visible and accessible
to the extrication teams. The liner shall be trimmed accordingly.
NB: other models and systems may be approved by the FIA on condition that they require no
supplementary tools, or rescue team knowledge and training (e.g.: BMW "FORS" system).
7. The FIA training DVD showing the seat in action, as well as any further information, is available
on request from the FIA, Geneva.
