gareth Posted March 20, 2010 Author Share Posted March 20, 2010 to a local motorbike shop, so it does need a kite mark to be uk legal then ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TC1474 Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 It does not require a kite mark anymore, but it should be stamped up with EC22/05 which will be somewhere on the helmet, often under the lining.The kite mark relates to BS 6658-85 which is the old standard. still valid but replaced by the EC mark.
