HEADWEAR

Description

A42 encompasses all types of headwear including hats, caps, bonnets, helmets, and similar head coverings for protection, fashion, or functional purposes. This class covers the structure, fastening mechanisms, and materials of headwear articles, but excludes specialized protective equipment classified separately (such as crash helmets in A42C or medical/surgical headgear). The classification includes both traditional and innovative designs in hat and cap construction, linings, bands, visors, and decorative elements integrated into head coverings.

IPC and CPC are identically structured here. All 2 subcodes exist in both systems.

1 shared codes have differing titles between IPC and CPC.
