a quote from the workshop page......."As from January 1st 2010 the regulations for your karting crash helmet will more than likely change...if you have a BS6685 Type A standard you will no longer be able to race with them..You can still use the later BS6658 Type AFR and the relevant Snell and FIA approved helmets...Please check for yourself in the latest handbook and regulations and TEAM LEADER before you buy any of them. ( wrong helmet-means NO race. )"...
after this weeks club meeting it seems that this will be probably be coming into effect.....
Also a new ruling on another new standard for under 15s......a lightweight lid ....The CIK has introduced a new safety standard for Childrens Helmets ( Snell-FIA CMH 2007) which will become mandatory for all under 15's competing in mainland Europe with effect from 1.1.2010.
The new standard is likely to be adopted as compulsory in the UK from 1.1.2011..........
Thats how I understand it anyway...
If anyone can confirm or clarify Im sure there are quite a few would like to know.....
but dont assume anything until its definate..............

To confirm as of 1.1.2010, BS6658 Type A no longer permissible within NatSKA/MSA.
U15 helmet recommended, not mandatory until 2011 and only to cadets. (within NatSKA).
