Snell SA2010 Helmet Announcement

Snell SA2010 and K2010 will take effect October 1, 2010. This date is one year later than the October 1, 2009 date set for Snell M2010 rated helmets. The decision was made this last week by the executive committee of the Snell Foundation’s board of directors.

There were several reasons for delaying the introduction of the Snell SA2010 and K2010 certification:
• The final draft of the standard is not quite complete
• SA2005 must be continued for at least the next year, in any case, in order to support the FIA 8860 advanced helmet specification.

Since Snell SA2005 and K2005 must be supported for a few years longer, and since no final draft of Snell SA2010 and K2010 has been distributed as yet, the introduction of SA/K2010 has been pushed back one year until October 1, 2010, which had been the date originally expected. It is hoped that the decision will allow Snell certified manufacturers of SA and K rated helmets an easier transition to the new requirements.
