– November 30, 2020 There has been a lot of debate regarding making the ISI mark mandatory for two-wheeler helmets. Now, MoRTH or the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways has issued a new notification, which states that all bike/two-wheeler helmets sold from 1 June 2020, should have the ISI mark. As per the latest notification, all bike/two-wheeler helmets must have the ISI mark under the licence from Bureau of Indian Standards. This move will eliminate the sale of low-quality helmets, which compromise on the safety of the riders. Now, it will be interesting to see what happens with the imported helmets which come with different quality test marks such as ECE, DOT, etc. We can understand that the government needs to curb the sale of substandard helmets. Hopefully, the government will come up with a solution for the usage of high-quality imported helmets. We have to wait and see if the government will allow the sales of imported helmets, which do not have ISI mark. Another solution is to allow the helmet manufacturers to comply with BIS and get the ISI mark.
