FAQs

What are the legal requirements for motorcycle helmets in Australia?

To legally ride in Australia, your motorcycle helmet must meet approved safety standards. These include:

  • Australian Standard (AS) 1698:1988 — Protective helmets for vehicle users.
  • Australian/New Zealand Standard (AS/NZS) 1698:2006 — Protective helmets for vehicle users.
  • United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UN ECE) 22.05 and ECE 22.06 — International standards for motorcycle and moped helmets and visors (This is also Helmet new approval code)

To check if your helmet complies, look for a label sewn into the interior lining and, if it was manufactured after 2010, a visible certification sticker on the outside. These markings show the helmet meets Australia's legal safety requirements. (ECE Approvals are usually on a chin strap and will have a marking on there) Example in photo below

How do I choose the right-sized motorcycle helmet?

Start by measuring your head with a soft tape measure. Wrap the tape around the largest part of your head, which is usually just above the ears and about 1.5 centimetres (or half an inch) above the eyebrows. Keep the tape level and straight, and measure at the forehead

Once you’ve got your measurement, compare it to the specific size chart provided by the helmet brand you’re interested in. Helmet sizes aren’t universal, and what fits in one brand might not match another.

If you’re in doubt, our team at Shark Motorcycle Leathers is always here to help you get the right fit before you hit the road.

Can I use an overseas motorcycle helmet in Australia?

Yes, as long as it meets the requirements of either the Australian Standard (AS/NZS 1698) or the European Standard (ECE 22.05). (22.06 is the new approval as well as 22.05 is the older one)

When should I replace my motorcycle helmet?

We recommend replacing your helmet five years from the date of purchase. Even if it appears to be in good shape, the protective materials inside can deteriorate with time, which may affect its ability to keep you safe.

You should also replace your helmet sooner if:

  • It’s been involved in a crash or dropped with force.
  • There are any visible cracks, dents or damage.
  • The interior padding has worn down or feels loose.
  • The chin strap or buckle isn’t functioning properly.
