NEW DELHI: The Government on Friday said only Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS)-certified helmets would be manufactured and sold in India for two-wheelers.
This would help in avoiding sale of low-quality two-wheeler helmets in the country, which would help in protecting persons involved in accidents from fatal injuries, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways said in a statement.
“The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways…has issued the ‘Helmet for riders of Two Wheelers Motor Vehicles (Quality Control ) Order, 2020’.
“Protective helmets for two-wheeler riders have been included under compulsory BIS certification and the publication of the Quality Control Order,” it said. (AGENCIES)
