UN ECE R22 — Motorcycle Helmets and Visors · 06 / S3

New helmet and visor approvals must use the 06 series. The current text is the 06 series · Supplement 3.

• This Regulation covers motorcycle and moped helmets, visors and accessories.
• Granting new helmet or visor approvals and extensions to earlier series ended on 3 July 2022.

Prepare your application to the current text and identify whether the accessory is helmet-specific or universal.

The current level is the 06 series · Supplement 3, effective from 10 January 2025. No general end date is stated for this level.

• This amendment updates accessory markings and the speaker simulators used in helmet testing.
• Its entry date is not a deadline for reapproving or stopping sales of every helmet.

Check the helmet markings, test arrangement and approval form when speakers or a microphone will be fitted.

Supplement 3 does not state that existing approvals automatically expire. Changes to the product or accessory must be notified to the approval authority.

• Applying earlier-series approval marks to helmets and visors is prohibited from 3 July 2023.
• From 3 January 2024, countries may prohibit sales of helmets and visors that do not meet the 06 series; this is not an automatic ban in every country.

Notify the authority of design or accessory changes and establish whether further testing or an approval extension is needed.
