The Motor
Sports Association (MSA) has issued
regulation clarifications regarding two current
crash helmet standards.
The
Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) has announced
that it will cease to
recognise the BS 6658-85 Type A/FR helmet standard after December 31, 2013.
However,
at
its most recent meeting earlier this month, the Motor Sports Council
agreed to
extend the life of this standard until at least December 31, 2015.
This is to offer an additional two years of use for those buying the
current
version.
The
MSA would also like
to draw attention to
the Snell SA2000 helmet standard. Regulation K 10.3.1 of the 2010
Competitors’
and Officials’ Yearbook states that this standard
‘May be withdrawn with effect
from 01/01/11’. However, the MSA is pleased to
confirm that this standard will now be
valid until December 31, 2014.
