How does the SHARP assessment differ from UN-ECE Regulation 22.05?
A range of tests are required for a helmet to obtain an approval to UN-ECE Regulation 22.05 including hot and cold temperature impact absorption tests, the strength and durability of retention systems, visor and field of vision tests etc. SHARP supplements these approval requirements by subjecting a helmet model to more demanding impact tests, taking on board the recommendations made by the COST 327 Study.
