For workplace protection helmets there are two European norms: EN 12492 for climbers and mountaineers requires >50kg holding force on the chin strap, to not come loose in case of a fall. EN 397 for industrial hard hats (on the ground) require chin straps to open on <25kg, to protect the wearer from strangulation in case of a fall.
