New high performance hat standard approved
A new British Standard has just been announced for high performance headgear, BSEN 14572:2005, although as yet no manufacturer
is offering a hat to this standard.
This new high performance helmet standard will offer greater protection from side impacts and will be aimed at competition
riders. Helmets in accordance with BSEN 14572:2005 are intended for use in high-risk activities, and not to supersede the
current EN1384:1996 and BSEN1384:1997.
