4. General
e. Karting: As defined in Chapter 18. f. All Other Events( including overalls in accordance with Chapter 12): BS6249 part 1 Index A or B( but not part C). BSEN533 EN533:1995 Index 3 ISO 14116 FIA 8856-2018 FIA 8856-2000 FIA 1986 Standard.
4.1. As with any item of safety equipment evidence of damage or excessive wear can render it unsuitable for use. In the case of overalls this could include over frequent or incorrect washing broken seams or stitching and worn patches. Two-piece overalls should be avoided but if worn must overlap and provide flameresistant coverage.
4.2. Due to the complex nature of national test standards and variations of detailed testing it is not possible to quote‘ equivalents’ from foreign national standards unless they are FIA approved.
4.3. National test standards may be superseded by or collaborate with European norms( CE Marks) which may provide a common standard throughout Europe and may include the territories of the ASN. The Competitor must ensure that the correct equipment is used in the jurisdiction of the Competition.
4.4. Individual Competitors are responsible for ensuring their own safety and that appropriate flame-resistant overalls are worn when mandatory.
4.5. Competitors are strongly advised to wear flame-resistant gloves socks balaclavas and underwear.
4.6. Plastic or similarly combustible material in footwear is to be avoided during Competition due to risk of fire related injury.
4.7. When a name appears on a driver’ s helmet or overalls this must be the name of the person wearing them and must be in accordance with Homologated standards and / or manufacturer recommendations.
5. Crash Helmets General
5.1. Crash helmets bearing an ASN approval sticker must be worn at all times during training Practice and Competition.
5.2. The user must ensure that the helmet is to a standard currently specified and that it fits properly and is secured properly and that it is in a serviceable condition.
5.3. It is strongly recommended that a flame-resistant balaclava helmet bib or face mask also be worn
5.4. Total protection can never be given by any headgear and the most advanced and or expensive crash helmets may not entirely prevent head injury or death in a severe accident.
5.5. Helmet users must understand that helmets are deliberately constructed so that the energy of a severe blow will be absorbed by the helmet and thereby partially destroy it. The damage may not be readily apparent; it is essential therefore that any helmet receiving a blow in an accident is either replaced or returned to the manufacturer for competent inspection – this of necessity must be the responsibility of the helmet user who will have been aware of the circumstances under which the helmet was struck.
