I have an SA2000 helmet. I am trying to track down the date the helmet expires. I thought it was a ten year span. Does that mean 12/31/10 or 1/1/10? I didn't see the guideline in the GCR.

You will not find it in the GCR...yet.
My guess is once helmets come out with SA2010 labels, SA 2000 will be good until 12/31/2011.
Thanks. Sounds like I should be good for 2010. Putting together my budget.

An SA2000 helmet will be good until January 1,2011. So yes, you are ok with most sanctioning bodies until that date.
Hopefully Snell will release the SA2010 standard in the next few months to allow the manufacturers time to design/build test units to submit for approval to Snell for testing. Then once they have approval they can begin making SA2010 helmets. In the past (except for SA2000 which was a drastic departure from SA95 causing many manufacturers to have to completely redesign and one, Shoei to bail from SA helmets altogether) the new helmets start to become available in mid to late calendar year.

Read somewhere that SA2010 will be available 10/10.
