What certification must a motorcycle helmet have to be considered safe?

SNELL approved
DOT approved
ECE approved
ANSI approved

The correct answer is: DOT approved

To be considered safe, a motorcycle helmet must be approved by the Department of Transportation (DOT). This certification indicates that the helmet meets specific safety standards established for motorcycle helmets to ensure they provide adequate protection in the event of an accident. DOT approval requires helmets to undergo rigorous testing for impact resistance, penetration, and retention system effectiveness, ensuring that they can withstand the forces typically involved in a crash. While other certification marks, such as SNELL, ECE, and ANSI, are also recognized within the industry, DOT certification is a mandatory requirement for helmets sold in the United States. Helmets that carry the DOT mark are legally recognized as meeting essential safety standards, making this certification particularly significant for riders choosing a helmet.
