The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) will be implementing a new notification for the two-wheeler helmet standard from September 4, 2020. According to a recent report, the new norms will see the 1200 gram weight for helmets being done away with, which was implemented in 2018. The rule restricted the sale of imported helmets in India that did not carry the ISI mark and weighed considerably more than weight-cap under the BIS norms. However, the revised standard will allow the sale of imported helmets, though they will still need to comply with the Indian Standard (IS) norms.
