Hard hats protect life. What you said is true. But it is also a helmet. In the event of a collision, inferior helmets are difficult to protect!
According to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the mandatory national standard "Helmets for Motorcycles and Electric Bicycles" (GB 8 1 1-2022, hereinafter referred to as the "new standard") released in June 2022 will be officially implemented on July12023.
Let's talk about what standards the helmet should meet:
The helmets worn by electric vehicles should meet the national standards, and the standards are refined to three types: full helmet, 3/4 half helmet and 1/2 half helmet. If the traffic police find that they don't wear a helmet when riding, they will fine the owner 200 yuan.
Class A is a full helmet, and the helmet for electric vehicles adopts class B standard.
Helmets are divided into A 1, A2 and A3 helmets and B 1, B2 and B3 helmets. A 1 and A2 helmets are suitable for motorcycle occupants with internal combustion engine displacement of 125ml or more, that is, full helmets and three-quarters helmets.
Class A3 1/2 helmet is suitable for motorcycle and electric bicycle occupants whose internal combustion engine displacement is not more than 125ml or whose motor rated power is not more than 1 1kw.
Type B helmet is only suitable for electric bicycle occupants. So pay attention, if you ride a motorcycle with a displacement of 125ml or more, don't wear a class B helmet or a class A3 semi-helmet, and your safety can't be guaranteed accordingly.
Compared with the previous helmet, the new standard increases the wear resistance of goggles, the surface strength of helmet and other indicators, and improves the requirements for the stability of fixing devices and the strength of wearing devices! !
It should be reminded that the implementation of this new regulation is only a clear implementation standard for electric vehicle helmet manufacturers.
So how do we choose a suitable helmet?
1, 3C certificate is the bottom line.
Only a helmet with 3C certification can effectively protect the head, otherwise it will be worn for nothing. Generally, sellers will provide the 3C certificate number, so you can go to the General Administration of Market Supervision to check the authenticity.
The national standard 3C certification is a national compulsory certification system, which ensures that the products meet the relevant national standards and technical specifications, and have certain safety performance and reliability. Therefore, choosing the national standard 3C certified electric vehicle helmet can provide you with higher safety and protect your head from potential injuries. ?
2, choose a helmet must try it on.
Try it on before you buy it. It is best to choose a helmet that suits your head shape best, has a large lining coverage and is more firmly combined with the inside of the helmet. The fit between the helmet and the head is not only comfortable, but also can prevent the helmet from being too big to affect the protection.
Although the new national standard is mainly aimed at the mandatory standards of electric vehicle helmets produced by manufacturers, for safety reasons, it is recommended that you try to buy helmets that meet the standards when purchasing helmets.
