Steelbird Ignyte helmets: What are ECE 22.06 certifications?
ECE 22.06 is a European safety standard for motorcycle helmets . Helmets certified to this standard have undergone rigorous testing to ensure they meet specific requirements for impact resistance, penetration resistance, field of vision, chin strap retention, and other safety features. It is considered one of the most stringent helmet safety standards in the world.



According to the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, road accidents are a major cause of death and injury in India, and a significant number of these accidents involve motorcycles. Many of the victims of these accidents suffered severe head injuries that could have been prevented by wearing a helmet. Wearing a safe helmet can significantly reduce the risk of head injury and death in the event of a crash. Studies have shown that wearing a helmet can reduce the risk of head injury by up to 80% and the risk of death by up to 70% in the event of a motorcycle accident.
