Denotes the series of UN Regulation 22.

«UN-R» is an often used short form for «UN Regulation», e.g. for helmets as shown in the graphic above.

The regulations were previously referred to as «ECE Regulation», where the short form «ECE-R», «ECE Reg.» or only «ECE» were used.

Starting with serie 02 for crash helmets, serie 03 for visors type-approved as an independent component, and serie 06 for accessories, the regulation serial number is also the first two digits of the approval number of the helmet, visor or accessory (see graphic above).

Denotes the date this serie of the regulation entered into force and became binding for all states that have acceded to UN Regulation 22
– see the overview below.

Denotes whether this serie of the regulation has been amended, and in case, the date(s) when the amendment(s) entered into force and became binding for all states that have acceded to UN Regulation 22 – see the overview below.

After the entry into force date – in grey text – «Suppl.» («Supplement») denotes ordinary amendments and «Corr.» («Corrigendum») denotes corrections and minor changes, and where the number is the amendment sequence number for this serie of the regulation.

A date in italic text, which is before the entry into force date of the serie (cf. note 2), are amendments that have been incorporated into this serie of the regulation before it entered into force.

Denotes the time period in which crash helmets and visors could be type-approved (and produced) in accordance with the requirements of this serie of the regulation.

Denotes from which date all new crash helmets and visors should be mandatorily type-approved in accordance with the requirements in this serie of the regulation, i.e. that as of this date, new helmets/visors shall no longer be type-approved in accordance with the requirements in the previous serie of the regulation, nor can extended type-approval be granted for previously type-approved helmets/visors that are type-approved in accordance with a previous serie of the regulation.

NOTE:

Helmets and visors type-approved in accordance with a previous serie of the regulation can still be used and sold after this date provided

the helmets/visors have a valid type-approval (cf. note 7),
the helmets still is, or can be considered to be, in a safe condition in terms of safety, including that the helmets has not exceeded its service lifetime (cf. note 9), and
a trading ban on the sale of new helmets/visors that are not type-approved in accordance with the latest and current serie of the regulation has not been introduced (cf. note 6.3).

Denotes dates for other provisions in the regulation, as specified with the following notes:

6.1

Denotes from which date type-approvals for helmets and visors type-approved in accordance with this serie of UN Regulation 22 were invalidated, where

type-approvals of helmets and visors type-approved in accordance with UN Regulations 22.00, 22.01 and 22.02 were invalidated 24 months after entry into force of UN Regulation 22.03,

i.e. that all helmets and visors type-approved in accordance with this serie of the regulation no longer has valid type-approvals and is therefore no longer legal to use!

6.2

Denotes from which date the approval authority in states that have acceded to UN Regulation 22 shall prohibit the use or application of approval marks on helmets and visors if these refer to type-approvals in accordance with a previous serie of the regulation.

6.3

Denotes from which date states that have acceded to UN Regulation 22 could introduce a trading ban on the sale of crash helmets that are not type-approved in accordance with the latest and current serie of the regulation, i.e. that it in ordinary trade no longer can be marketed and sold new helmets that are type-approved in accordance with a previous serie of the regulation.

NOTE:

This is not a mandatory trading ban, i.e. that each individual state that has acceded to UN Regulation 22 can freely decide whether such a ban should be introduced, and if so, from what date such a ban should apply. As of today, only a few states has introduced such a trading ban.

Denotes the status of type-approvals for crash helmets and visors in accordance with this serie of the regulation:

Status	Meaning
VALID	Type-approvals for crash helmets and visors type-approved in accordance with this serie of the regulation are valid.
(INVALID)	Type-approvals for crash helmets and visors type-approved in accordance with this serie of the regulation shall, even if the type-approvals has not been invalidated (cf. note 6.1), be considered to be invalid as these helmets will today be so old that they are considered «out of date» (cf. note 8).
INVALID	Type-approvals for crash helmets and visors type-approved in accordance with this serie of the regulation has been invalidated (cf. note 6.1), i.e. that all helmets and visors type-approved in accordance with this serie of the regulation do no longer have valid type-approvals and is therefore no longer legal to use!

Crash helmets type-approved in accordance with this serie of the regulation, which was type-approved and produced more than 20 years ago (cf. note 4), will today be so old and so far exceeded what is considered the service lifetime of crash helmets that these helmets neither can nor should be considered to still be in a safe condition, and therefore should no longer be used!

That a crash helmet has valid type-approval does not necessarily mean that the helmet is, or can be considered to be, in a safe condition in terms of safety, e.g. if the helmet

has exceeded its service lifetime,
has damages, defects or deficiencies, or
has been exposed to shocks or blows which may or will have reduced the helmet's protective ability, e.g. a helmet that has been used in an accident or similar.

The following table shows all states which per has acceded to «Vehicle Regulations Agreement of 1958» with later amendments – hereinafter referred to as «the Agreement» which can be read here, and which states that have acceded to UN Regulation 22.

For states that have acceded to UN Regulation 22, it is after the name of the state – in the date format YYYY.MM.DD – shown which date the state's accession to UN Regulation 22 formally entered into force (normally 60 days after the state's accession to UN Regulation 22), i.e. as of this date, or after a certain transition period which the state may have introduced, new crash helmets to be marketed and sold in ordinary trade in this state shall as a principal rule be E-marked and type-approved in accordance with the safety and test requirements in UN Regulation 22.

NOTE:

A state shown in italic text is a state that has not individually acceded to UN Regulation 22, but has acceded to the regulation in other ways, as specified with a note!
A state shown in grey text is a UNECE member state that has acceded to the Agreement, but which has not yet acceded to UN Regulation 22 as part of the Agreement!
A state shown in light red text is a UNECE member state that has not acceded to the Agreement, and which consequently cannot accede to UN Regulation 22 either, as accession to the Agreement is a prerequisite for the state to also be able to accede to UN Regulation 22!

General information about E-marking.

E-marking denote that parts, accessories and other equipment for use with or together with vehicles to be used on public roads have been tested and type-approved and are manufactured in accordance with the requirements of a UN Regulation.

The E-marking consists of a circle with the letter «E» followed by a numerical code which denote in which country parts, accessories and other equipment have been type-approved – see the table below, as shown in these examples:

E-marking is a completely independent approval scheme, i.e. that products that have an E-mark, e.g. crash helmets, visors and accessories for the helmets, shall not have a CE-mark ()!

The following table – updated per 28 May 2024 – shows all codes that can be found in the E-marking, which country the code is assigned to, and the national approval authority in that country.

The table shows the national approval authorities which can issue type-approval for crash helmets, visors and accessories in accordance with UN Regulation 22, even though these are essentially the same approval authorities that also can issue type-approval for other equipment etc. according to the many different UN Regulations.

The approval authorities are shown both in the country's national language and – in blue text – in English.

NOTE:

A country shown in red italics (historical) is a country that no longer exist, and where the code is no longer in use!
Even if the code is no longer in use, the code can still be found in the E-marking on older parts and equipment etc. which was previously type-approved in this country.
A dash (—) denotes a code that has not been assigned to a country (reserved for later use), or that has previously been assigned to a country without it being currently known which country this was!
