The Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) has announced a new standard for motorcycle helmets in India, in a bid to improve safety levels and curb poor quality helmet sales. Under the new standards that will be applicable from January 15, 2019, helmet manufacturers will have to ensure a maximum weight of 1.2 kg for a helmet, as opposed to the current weight of 1.5 kg. The transport ministry has also announced that the sale of non-ISI standard helmets will now be treated as an offense, while the new helmets will be specified as those meant for motorcyclists.
