Helmet compliance list - effective July 1 2006
From Farkin Wiki
Recently MTBA announced that from July 1 2006 full-face helmets will be mandatory at all MTBA sanctioned DH events.
We further indicated that these helmets must also carry the Australian Standards complience sticker or an international equivalent.
This statement brings full-face style DH MTB helmets into the same standard requirements as we have previously stated for XC helmets.
We now release the first list of standards that MTBA will accept as an international equivalent to the Australian/New Zealand Standard 2063.
(1) ANSI Z90.4;
(2) Snell "B" or "N" series;
(3) ASTM F-1447.
(4) Canadian CAN/CSA-D113.2-M;
(5) U.S. CPSC standard for bicycle helmets;
(6) European CEN standard for bicycle helmets (EN1078)
Other international standards may be added from time to time.
It is important to recognise that the Australian Standard (AS2063) is generally considered to be one of the toughest in the world to pass, and thus as helmets for bicycle use (and in particular full-face style DH MTB helmets) that comply with AS/NZ 2063 become available, we strongly recommend that such helmets be used wherever possible. We certainly encourage importers of bicycle helmets to undergo the Australian Standards certification process.
We also note that, consistent with current Australian Road Rules, all helmets that will be worn when riding on open public roads need to be certified by the Australian Standard (AS2063) alone.
Further clarification on any matter arising from the above can be obtained from MTBA.

The following list should make life easier for riders and scrutineers alike.
If you do not see your helmet below, please check it thoroughly for compliance against the above standards, then add it to the appropriate section (taking note of formatting and alphabetical sorting).
If you are not sure how to do this, feel free to email me using the link at the end.
