AFAIK, for the Euro test all flip-up lids are treated as open-face, in other=
 
words the chin bar tests aren't performed. Just how much protection in that=
 
area you can expect from a flip is debateable.

Also if there was an issue with lack of padding in the hinge area, I doubt i=

would pass the ECE test - but that could depend on the exact places the test=

 of 
the shell so there should be no effect on the padding?
