Introduction
It is now possible to import, sell and
use on the roads in Australia
UN/ECE Regulation 22.05
Protective helmets and their
visors for drivers and passengers
of motor cycles and mopeds
AS/NZS 1698 Protective helmets
for vehicle users.
3 Questions
For the Australian consumer will the
change produce
Safer helmets?
Simpler, more understandable
regulation able to adapt to market
change?
Cheaper helmets?
AMC Review
Other areas of the standards setting
process Responsiveness, adaptability and
timeliness of the standard to changing
helmet developments in the market .
The quality assurance regimes
compared with ISO/IEC 17065 and
ISO/IEC 17067 Conformity Assessment.
Cost for the consumer
Conformity Assessment
Requires a Certification Scheme to prove the
specified requirements are met
No Certification Scheme, then no information
about the criteria with which the certified
product complies.
Certification Schemes define the METHOD of
assessing the specified requirements
Certification Scheme ensures conformity to
specified requirements is assessed before it is
placed on the market
Production Variability
A production process exhibits
variability
The question is always How Much?
Mean and Standard Deviation are
useful measures of variability when
the distribution is normal or
approximately normal
It allows a view of reliability or
consistency
Production Variability
Mean = 262.9 SD = 15
Improved production
process significantly
reduces variability.
99% of production now compliant without
changing helmet design
Statistical Sampling
Sampling can be statistically evaluated.
For a shipping container of say 1,000
helmets, and no knowledge of production
variability, ISO 2859-2 (AS 1199-2) defines
this as an ISOLATED LOT
AS 1199 specifies that for PROOF of 99.5%
conformity, 380 helmets of the 1,000 are to
be tested to ALL specified requirements
- with no failures
Certification
ISO/IEC 17065 - Conformity assessment
Requirements for bodies certifying
products, processes and services
Certification Bodies use their own Scheme
ISO/IEC 17065 does not contain detailed
requirements on certification schemes.
Schemes typically include additional
requirements above and beyond those
outlined in ISO/IEC 17065
1. selection
2. determination
3. review and attestation.
Certification attesting to
conformity with a standard
demonstration that specified
requirements for a product are fulfilled
Certification
Initial certification comprises : Selection, Determination, Review,
Attestation
PRIOR to marketing of product
Maintaining Certification requires: Surveillance batch testing
Sampling from production and/or
marketplace
AS/NZS 1698:2006
Sets out specified requirements
only
Does NOT deal with Conformity
Assessment
All processes of a Certification Scheme
are unique to each CAB, at their
discretion.

Batch Testing
Certification Schemes includes how the
certified product can maintain its
certification after initial certification is
granted
Batch testing does not substitute for
initial assessment of compliance
Batch Test sampling rates are low
Batch testing alone cannot determine
compliance
Testing Results
AS/NZS 1698 Clause 6.1 6 helmets passed
BUT, when extras added (to test 10), one failed

Summary - 2
For the Australian consumer,
the addition of UNECE Regulation 22.05
motorcycle helmets for sale and use on
the road to AS/NZS 1698 helmets
Will produce simpler more
understandable regulation
Cheaper and safer helmets.
Summary - 2
Successful implementation will
require
a means of proof of substantiation
of helmet conformance with the
provisions of Australian Consumer
Law (ACL).
Need for surveillance testing of
market helmets
