Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard # 218

SNELL HELMET TESTING Snell is a private non-profit organization that sets voluntary
standards for motorcycle standards
Manufactures must earn Snell certification for their helmets
Snell standards require that their helmets should withstand substantially larger impacts than DOT approved helmets.
Although Snell is a better option, both DOT and Snell helmets are tested the same way.
