NFPA doesn’t cover helmet shields. They’re accessories. We tested them anyway—internally and with third parties—and they’d clear NFPA requirements if shields were part of the standard. We’ve also worked directly with major helmet manufacturers
and have confirmation that our shields do not void helmet warranties. Whether you can run one comes down to your department, not NFPA.
