Några större hjälmtillverkare har börjat släppa ut sina nya ECE 22.06-godkända hjälmmodeller, men det finns ingen sammanställd lista som jag har hittat, och först 2023 kommer en ECE 22.06-godkänd hjälm att vara allmänt tillgänglig.
Du får googla och kolla hjälmarna du är intresserad utav.
Bakgrund:
Only ECE 22.06 Helmets Will Be Approved In Europe Starting July 2022.
The new ECE 22.06 system has introduced several new tests which are a lot more rigorous than the previous standard, including rotational tests, as well as a variety of other impact testing from all angles. For starters, it’s possible that new 22.06 helmets will have a thicker shell, especially those made out of plastic. Fiberglass and carbon fiber shells may be able to retain their standard thickness, but will certainly see revisions to the internal polystyrene lining.
Unsurprisingly, with new technology comes added costs, and this is no different when it comes to helmets. As such, we can expect the helmets conforming to the ECE 22.06 standard to be slightly more expensive than those of the previous ECE 22.05 standard.
The new ECE 22.06 standard could also potentially affect the accessories previously fitted as aftermarket in older helmets. This means communicators, action cameras, and other add-ons will have to be included in the testing process.
Lastly, if those of you who still have their older 22.05 helmets have been wondering whether or not you could still legally wear them on the street, you can now breathe a sigh of relief. Yes, you can still use your previously homologated helmet, as the rule only governs the approval of new helmets from manufacturers.
