In a meaningful move for rider safety, ASTM has revised its F1447 bicycle helmet standard, lowering the peak g fail threshold from 300 g to 275 g. While the number may seem small, the implications for helmet design and rider protection could prove significant—and long overdue.

为了保证骑行者的安全，ASTM修订了F1447自行车头盔标准，将峰值G失效阀值从300 g降低到275 G。虽然这个数字看起来很小，但对安全帽设计和骑手保护的影响可能是重大的，而且早该如此。

Not Mandatory, but Potentially Influential

不是强制性的，但有潜在的影响力

The revised ASTM standard reinforces the industry’s duty to prioritize head protection and creates a new voluntary benchmark. ASTM is not a required certification for bicycle helmets in the U.S. market—the mandatory legal requirement remains the CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission) standard, which has remained unchanged since 1999.

修订后的ASTM标准加强了行业优先考虑头部保护的责任，并创建了一个新的自愿基准。ASTM不是美国市场上自行车头盔的强制性认证——强制性法律要求仍然是CPSC（消费者产品安全委员会）标准，该标准自1999年以来一直保持不变。

However, ASTM’s move may inspire brands to adopt the new standard for marketing value and to demonstrate an elevated level of rider care and product performance.

“We fully support this change because this kind of scrutiny of existing test standards is a win for riders,” says Norman Cheng, Managing Director of Strategic Sports. “Our helmets have always aimed to exceed minimum requirements, and this brings the baseline closer to where we’ve already engineered our products.”

Cheng believes the change could also influence regulatory bodies. “In Europe the CE (EN1078) already references an even lower limit of 250 g, so if CPSC elects to follow ASTM’s lead and revise their standards, many helmets optimized to the limits of the old standard will likely require redesigns,” he notes.

然而，ASTM的举措可能会激励品牌采用新的营销价值标准，并展示更高水平的骑手防护和产品性能。

“我们完全支持这一改变，因为这种对现有测试标准的审查对骑手来说是一种胜利，”韬略集团郑董（Norman Cheng）说。“我们的头盔一直致力于超越最低要求，这使基线更接近我们已经设计的产品。”

Norman Cheng认为，这一变化也可能影响监管机构“在欧洲，CE （EN1078）已经引用了更低的250G限值，所以如果CPSC选择跟随ASTM的领导并修改他们的标准G值，许多优化到旧标准极限的头盔可能需要重新设计，”他指出。

“Some brands may consider proactively revisiting their current designs to meet this new, lower threshold,” Cheng adds, “This is an opportunity to take action and show your customers that you’re making a meaningful effort to design safe helmets.”

The revised 275 g ASTM rating recommendation will be adopted for cycling and skate helmets and for equestrian helmets with a two-year grace period. Discussions are also in progress for snow helmets.

“一些品牌可能会考虑主动重新审视他们目前的设计，以满足这个新的、更低的门槛，”郑董补充说，“这是一个采取行动的机会，向你的客户展示你正在为设计安全头盔做出有意义的努力。”

修订后的275G ASTM等级建议将被用于自行车和滑冰头盔以及马术头盔，并有两年的宽限期。关于防雪头盔的讨论我们也在进行中。

Proven Technologies for Safety and Performance

经过验证的安全和性能技术

At Strategic Sports, decades of research have gone into materials and designs that improve helmet performance without sacrificing energy management. Proprietary technologies such as ERT (Energy Reduction Technology) and Conehead dual-density foam liners allow Strategic Sports to offer lighter, smaller, and more ventilated helmets while maintaining advanced impact absorption.

“The new ASTM limit addresses linear acceleration, and we’ve long engineered our helmets to perform at or beyond this level while also addressing rotational impact,” Cheng says. “Innovative materials and thoughtful design remain at the heart of our rider-first philosophy.”

在韬略，几十年的研究已经进入材料和设计，以提高头盔性能，而不牺牲能量管理。专有技术，如ERT（能源减少技术）和Conehead双密度泡沫衬里允许韬略安全帽在运动使用过程中提供更轻，更小，更通风的头盔，同时保持非常好的冲击吸收。

“新的ASTM极限解决了线性加速度问题，我们长期以来一直在设计我们的头盔，使其达到或超过这个水平，同时也解决了旋转冲击问题，”Norman Cheng说。“创新的材料和全方位的设计仍然是我们顾客至上理念的核心。”

Ongoing Action as ASTM Committee Meets in Toronto

ASTM委员们在多伦多召开会议

The ASTM Committee, a collection of engineers, academics and manufacturers met for two days in early May to discuss current ratings and testing methodology, how to test equestrian helmet visors, and human headforms used for testing. Notably, a task force was formed to investigate E-bike helmet standards, and will be headed by Russ Boelhauf, a Strategic Sports employee since 2003.

由工程师、学者和制造商组成的ASTM委员会在5月初举行了为期两天的会议，讨论了目前的评级和测试方法，如何测试马术头盔遮阳板，以及用于测试的人体头罩。值得注意的是，成立了一个特别工作组来调查电动自行车头盔标准，该工作组将由自2003年以来一直在韬略工作的拉斯·博尔豪夫领导。

Moving in a Promising Direction

朝着有希望的方向前进

The ASTM update represents relevant progress and reflects the safety standards that many premium manufacturers, including Strategic Sports, have already been striving to achieve.

“This is the right direction for the industry,” Cheng concludes. “The updated standard provides greater protection for riders and aligns with our mission: Protecting Life.”

ASTM的更新代表了工作的相关的进展，反映了包括韬略在内的许多优质制造商已经努力达到的安全标准。

“这是行业的正确方向，”郑董总结道。“更新后的标准为顾客提供了更好的保护，并且符合我们的使命：保护生命。”
