Publisher/Sponsor:
Canadian Standards Association (CSA)
Applies to helmets intended to help reduce head injuries for
recreational alpine skiers and snowboarders. It defines the areas of
the head that are to be protected for impact injuries and covers the
basic performance requirements for shock absorption, helmet stability,
and retention system strength as well as marking and labelling
requirements. Helmets that comply with the standard will be designed to
sustain multiple impacts. The standard also applies to helmets worn for
other non-motorized recreational snow sport activities such as
tobogganing or sledding.
