Councils must ensure that motorcycle eye protectors sold to consumers comply with legal safety requirements. Motorcycle eye protectors, such as visors, goggles and protective eyewear, must meet specified safety standards designed to protect riders from injury, debris, weather conditions and other hazards encountered while riding. Councils can inspect products, verify compliance markings and documentation, investigate complaints, remove non-compliant products from sale, and take enforcement action where necessary.
