Helmet standards

I have just read an article on the Merlin Motorsport site on the topic of helmet standards for use with HANS devices. The full article is here but in summary it says this...

BS6658 Type A/FR – Not recognised for motorsport use after 2015.
Snell SA2005 - Not recognised for motorsport use after 31.12.2018.
FIA8860-2004 Not recognised for motorsport use after 31.12.2020.
Snell SA2010, SAH2010, FIA 8858-2010 and SA2015 Not recognised for motorsport use after 31.12.2023.
FIA 8860-2010 still valid.
FIA 8859-2015 most up to date, no expiry date set yet.

It might be worth looking at the label next time you polish it to avoid any early season scrutineering awkwardness.

Re: Helmet standards

A good reminder, thanks Brian.
That information is also contained in the Blue Book - but not necessarily that easy to find!
