Standards are an essential component in car racing.
Regarding safety, standards warrants that a basic safety protection is offered to the different race car participants (Racers, Driver, Crew, Rescue Team, etc.). Sanctioning bodies that generates these standards establish a list of tests that a product must undergo to earn their safety sticker (length of exposure to flame, applied pressure on the product or it components, resistance to different types of impacts, from different angles, etc., etc.). Several samples of each product (according to size, options, etc.) are sent by the manufacturers to test laboratory that are certified by the sanctioning bodies, the certification is delivered if such product passes all test required. Here is a summary of the most common and the most stringent standards for the HANS® system.
