Bureau of Indian Standards, Chennai Branch Office, organised a programme on standards related to ‘Protective Helmets for Bicycles, Skateboards and Roller Skates’ at St. Joseph’s College of Engineering in the city on Tuesday. A press release said the recently introduced standard-IS 18808- on protective helmets for cyclists, skateboarders, and roller skaters addressed the need to improve head protection, especially for young and recreational users, given the growing popularity of non-motorised transport. Around 150 stakeholders took part in the programme.
