ECE 22.06 motorcycle helmets
The 62 helmets SHARP lists as tested to UN ECE Regulation 22.06. Since July 2022, countries applying UN Regulation No. 22 can only approve helmets to 22.06 (paragraph 15.1.2); helmets approved to 22.05 still meet UK law.
What’s on the label and how SHARP compares the two: ECE 22.05 and 22.06 explained.
