ASTM International (formerly the American
Society for Testing and Materials) sets the performance standards for most recreational
safety equipment. SEI certifies that the product offered for sale meets or
exceeds those standards at time of manufacture. Therefore, an SEI test label
cites an ASTM standard and is required to meet most US sanctioning body requirements. Some
will accept British equipment with appropriate labels but not having SEI test
results. Proper fit is essential to the helmet’s
performance. Troxels come in sizes, some other do or come small, medium,
large, and others come with adjusters for the headband. By the way, Committee F32, Search and
Rescue will be meeting in Charlotte NC next Saturday, June 2 at the University
Hilton where the NASAR meeting is being held. Irv Lichtenstein |
