The Safety Helmet Assessment and Rating Programme (SHARP) is a consumer information initiative that was launched by the Department for Transport in 2007 following research that revealed real differences in the safety performance of motorcycle helmets available in the UK. SHARP’s purpose is to provide riders with:

  • clear advice on how to select a helmet that fits correctly and is comfortable to wear
  • impartial and objective information about the relative safety performance of helmets available to purchase in the UK
