RE: DECERTIFICATION OF MOST SFI APPROVED IMPACT RACING PRODUCTS
The following press release from SFI was announced this past Friday and in
essence it decertifies most
of the SFI approved Impact Racing products. This quote was taken from the
press release: bAt this time
SFI does not know how many products have counterfeit labels and patches and
which ones have
authentic labels and patches. Therefore, it was unfortunately necessary to
decertify all the products
manufactured by Impact pursuant to SFI specifications 3.2A, 3.3, 16.1 and
16.5.b The full press release
can be viewed by following this link: http://www.sfifoundation.com/
After careful consideration and investigation by the SCTA Technical Committee,
inclusive of
information exchanged with representatives from the safety certification
organizations SFI and Snell,
SCTA / BNI has decided to follow their recommendations. In plain English this
is how this decision
may affect you. If you currently own any of the decertified Impact Racing
products listed below you will
be required to replace them with a non-Impact product prior to competing at an
SCTA-BNI event.
3.2A Driver Suits (3.2A/1, 3.2A/3, 3.2A/5)
3.2A Driver Suits (3.2A/10, 3.2A/15, 3.2A/20)

3.3 Driver Accessories:
Arm Restraints
Shoes (3.3/5)
Drag Boots (3.3/15, 3.3/20)
Gloves (3.3/1, 3.3/5, 3.3/10, 3.3/15, 3.3/20)
Harness Pads
Helmet Supports
Hoods/Balaclavas
Socks
Underclothing
B
16.1 Driver Restraint Assemblies
16.5 Stock Car Driver Restraint Assemblies
B
Other Impact products not listed MAY also be under scrutiny and may be
decertified at any time in the
future. Impact manufactured helmets ARE NOT decertified at this time. However,
if the helmet has an
SFI certification tag for the nomex interior or balaclavas, then you will be
required to use an additional
nomex head sock, manufactured by another company, with a SFI certification tag
attached.
