Sort of odd that there is no US based test facility certified by the FIA to test the HANS device:

There is only a US test facility (Snell Memorial Foundation) certified to test helmet tether anchorages.

They need a lab to "test" a hole in a shell?

I don't ask questions anymore.

This whole thing started when someone in the karting world called me and asked about CIK FIA certification for the Leatt Moto Kart/GPX neck brace (he was racing in Canada and the event organizers were reluctant to let him wear it rather than a foam collar)

So, I started searching the FIA website and stumbled across this link and some others that I posted.......no, I never did even find out how they currently certify the required CIK FIA foam neck collar.....yes, the CIK FIA certified neck collar that is NOT required per the current regulations!
