MLRC Forum - How much longer will the old peltors be ok?

2000 Impreza Junior Member Offline Posts: 78	How much longer will the old peltors be ok? 03/30/12 at 09:59:50 I have read a few things around the internet saying that the old bsi Peltors will no longer be usable in the near future but i have seen some conflicting information on how much longer they are good for. Anyone here know for sure how much longer they are good in Canada and in the US?

I was just about to grab one of those cheep bsi peltors off an online site but decided just to be safe I would see if I could find any rule changes for the BSI helmets in the cars rulebook. If I read this right it does not look like there is much life left in that cert at all?

11.1.6 Only helmets meeting one of the following standards will be accepted for competition in any performance
rally and must be worn by all competitors when travelling in special stages:
(a) FIA Homologation -FIA 8860-2004
(b) Snell Foundation -SA 2005
-SAH 2010
-SA 2010
(c) British Standards Institution -BS 6658-85 type A/FR including all amendments
(Standard expires December 31st. 2013)
(d) SFI Foundation Inc. -SFI spec 31.1A and SFI spec 31.2A
-SFI spec 31.1/2005

My Peltor has a small silver sticker on the back. 2007-09 so I'm good for 5 more years, though I will almost certainly replace it before then.
