USA Cycling Accepts European Helmet Standards
TO: USAC Officials
From: Shawn Farrell, Technical Director
USA Cycling has recently added the European helmet standard to its list of
approved standards for legal bicycle racing helmets. In 1986, USA Cycling
became the first cycling federation to make hard shell helmets required for
all bicycle races. At that time we acknowledged numerous government
agencies, such as SNELL, ANSI, and the US CPSC. In the last few years, the
UCI has made hard shell helmets mandatory for all races, and a new standard
has recently appeared on the market, the European Committee for
Standardization. Helmets approved by the European Committee will carry
stickers (ECS or CE EN1078) similarly to the stickers found in all
American-made helmets.
