ASTM Certified Helmets

ASTM certified helmets meet stringent safety standards established by the American Society for Testing and Materials. Each helmet in this collection has undergone rigorous testing protocols to ensure reliable impact protection and structural integrity.

ASTM certification indicates that helmets have been tested for shock absorption, penetration resistance, chin strap strength, and retention system effectiveness. These standards apply across various activities including cycling, skating, skiing, and industrial applications.

ASTM Safety Standards

Helmets bearing ASTM certification have passed specific test methods including:

  • Impact attenuation testing at multiple points
  • Positional stability and retention system strength
  • Peripheral vision requirements
  • Penetration resistance from sharp objects

ASTM F1492 covers helmets for recreational inline skating and skateboarding. ASTM F2032 addresses BMX cycling helmets. ASTM F2040 covers helmets used for snow sports. Each standard defines specific performance requirements appropriate to the intended use.

When selecting an ASTM certified helmet, verify the certification label inside the helmet matches your intended activity. Proper fit is essential for certification standards to provide their intended protection level.
