Standards differ in many ways from country to country, and for different applications.
There are also notable differences in the enforcement of safety standards. In some countries standards compliance is overseen and controlled by government agencies. In others compliance is left up to the manufacturer, or distributor of the item. The differences in standards can be confusing to helmet buyers.
