FIA 8856-2018 Approval

Newcomer in the world of competition, the FIA ​​8856-2018 standard arrives with its share of improvements for your safety. The main feature of this new FIA 8856-2018 standard is fire resistance, extended to 14 seconds instead of 11 previously. These 3 additional seconds may seem ridiculous, but faced with faster vehicles, more complex roll cages and additional safety equipment (Hans, nets), they will save lives by offering precious additional time to get out of a vehicle on fire.

Valid since 2012, driver equipment (gloves, shoes, suits, etc.) manufactured under the old 8856-2000 homologation will remain valid until 2028. However, manufacturers like Sparco are required to stop production of this old standard right now. Nonetheless, some championships may require the new standard as of today, so do not forget to double check the regulations of each race.
