Under the latest safety standards, the helmet has to go through a range of tests called HIC (Head Injury Criterion). These include shock absorption, retention systems, and unseating of the helmet. These tests are carried out and submitted for checks to an external certified laboratory. The company further announced that even the helmet accessories such as integrated sun visors will have standards that they will need to meet to pass testing.
