Implement a strategy to protect motorcyclists from imports of unsafe clothing

Petition Details

We want the Government to implement a national strategy that protects motorcyclists from imports of unsafe clothing.

Additional Information

This would involve:

1. Checks on all individual packages from the countries known to be the main sources of these unsafe products;
2. Determining if those products satisfy the applicable standards; with conforming products released to the consumer, and non-conforming products destroyed.

Motorcycle clothing is covered by legislation on personal protective equipment. It is required to be tested to standards, certified and to carry the CE and/or UKCA mark. Legitimate vendors have done this; however, sales have grown of nonconforming products advertised online and shipped direct from factory to consumer.

If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
