In 2016, the FIM Racing Homologation Programme (FRHP) set out to create one helmet certification to rule them all. With Europe’s ECE 22.06, Japan’s JIS T8133, and the U.S. DOT regulations setting the bar for road legality, FHRP’s Phase 01 (FRHPhe-01) held helmets to the highest standards in the industry: racing. Of course, many motorcyclists turn to Snell and Sharp certifications for extra assurance, but the FIM sticker soon gained prestige among track riders and racers.
Fast forward to 2019 when FIM introduced its first homologated helmets into the MotoGP premier class. By 2020, all circuit racing disciplines required the FIM badge of approval. The FHRP upheld the strictest safety standards by assessing linear and oblique impacts at low, medium, and high speeds while also incorporating penetration tests.
