How to choose a helmet?
1. The new national standard puts forward specific requirements for the shape and performance of helmets
In order to effectively ensure the safety of people's travel, the State Administration for Market Regulation, together with the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, organized and completed the formulation of the new version of the mandatory national standard for motorcycle and electric bicycle occupant helmets, which has been officially implemented since July 1 this year. The new national standard puts forward specific requirements for the shape and internal performance of electric bicycle helmets.
a) The appearance has sky blue shading and black letter B and reflective logo.
2) The new national standard divides helmets into class A and class B according to the two different applicable objects of motorcycles and electric bicycles.
Class A is a motorcycle occupant helmet.
Category B is an e-bike occupant helmet.
(3) Helmets that meet the national standards for electric bicycle occupant helmets must have obvious sky blue shading and black letter B logos and reflective logos on the appearance.
Second, the purchase of the new national standard helmet follow these 5 steps
When consumers buy helmets on their own, they should follow the "five-step method": look, smell, press, wear, and ask.
1. Take a look
Look at the appearance of the product, structural composition (hard shell, thick cushion layer, wide and strong lacing and socket) and the standardized Chinese logo, including the standard factory name and address, product name, implementation standard, qualification mark, etc.
2. Second smell
Sniff the helmet with your nose for pungent odors, and choose products with no odor or less odor.
3. Three presses
Press the foam material buffer layer of the helmet with your hand a little harder, and choose a product with a dense cushion layer or a slight ** feeling, no pits, and no slag.
4. Four wears
Try wearing a helmet that fits snugly on your head and fits comfortably, and if you have goggles, choose clear lenses that transmit more light through the goggles.
5. Five questions
Check with the clerk whether the helmet type is Class A or Class B. At the same time, it is necessary to purchase products with the "3C" certification mark.
