SNI helmets with labels clearly more assured
quality and quality compared to the helmet without SNI. The reason, SNI helmet
has passed a series of tests by BSN. Unfortunately, of the total production of
local helmet around 9 million per year, about 20-30 percent of them

Approximately 30 percent of helmets in the market
are imported products alleged non-standard, especially the originating from China

fact, the manufacturer has not won ISO certification.

standard products began reducing the helmet to be deployed in the market.
