How often should an NOCSAE-approved helmet be returned for recertification?

One year
Two years
Three years
Five years

The correct answer is: Two years

An NOCSAE-approved helmet should be returned for recertification every two years. This timeframe is established to ensure that the helmet continues to provide an adequate level of protection and meets the necessary safety standards. Regular recertification accounts for the wear and tear that helmets may experience due to usage and environmental factors, which can affect their performance. By adhering to this two-year recertification schedule, athletes can help ensure their safety during sports activities, maintaining a high standard of protection provided by the helmet. Moreover, this period aligns with industry practices and recommendations for equipment maintenance, reflecting a commitment to athlete safety and performance.
