Recently, due to the "One Helmet and One Belt" safety protection action carried out by the Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security on June 1, the helmet has been on the "hot search".

According to a recent release by the Jiangsu traffic police, the number of traffic accidents involving electric vehicles accounted for more than half of the total number of traffic accidents in the province, accounting for 51.9%. Head injuries account for a high proportion of fatalities in traffic accidents involving electric vehicles, accounting for 69%! Wearing a helmet is the simplest and most effective life-saving measure. A qualified helmet plays a vital role in reducing head injuries and accidental mortality.

So how can you tell if a helmet is good or bad? How do I check if my helmet meets quality standards?

The state stipulates that the regular and qualified motorcycle helmets sold in the Chinese market must obtain the CCC mandatory mark. Therefore, when choosing motorcycle helmets, dealers and consumers should choose brand helmets with CCC certification and safety guarantees.

The full name of 3C certification is China Compulsory Product Certification, and the 3C mark is generally pasted on the surface of the product, or pressed on the product by molding. Each 3C logo is followed by a random code, and each random code has a corresponding manufacturer and product.

At present, there are a variety of helmet products on the market, especially electric bicycle helmets, there is no national standard for its definition and performance and safety requirements, some riders use motorcycle helmets or helmets similar to motorcycle half helmet styles, and some use bicycle helmets, and even some businesses claim to be motorcycle and electric vehicle helmets when selling helmets similar to safety helmets.
