(Type-A
= ones with the blue BSI Kyte mark label on the side)
The old BSI standard required that sample helmets from each manufacturerd batch be tested against the standard- only if they passed did the rest of the batch get the sticker.
Now..
.
there is a
'European' standard called ECE22-05, it only needs the design to be type approved by testing an example helmet
- after that it is up to the manufacturer to certify that subsequent batches are up to spec.
For this reason, the MSA does not accept them..
.
.
However the Motorcycle racing club
(ACU?) does, and gives them the gold sticker.
I'm hoping to get a new lid at the Historic Morotsport show near coventry this weekend!
Good point, well made.I forgot about the updates to this.
If this guys getting an open face helmet though he can go through someone like demon tweeks where you can make sure you get the right lid for the job.
Any decent motorbike helmet would be acceptable for trackdays tbh.
