SNELL SA2010.
SNELL SA2005.
SNELL SA2000*.
SNELL SAH2010.
SFI Foundation 31.1A, 31.2A.
BS 6658 Type A/FR**.
*May be withdrawn with effect from 01/01/15.
**May be withdrawn with effect from 01/01/16.

(b) In addition the following are acceptable for:
International and MSA National Kart Racing Events
(with exception of International Kart Drivers under 15
years of age and Cadet/Bambino Drivers*):
• SNELL K98 and K2005
• SNELL K2010
• SNELL – FIA CMR2007
• SNELL – FIA CMS2007

International Kart Drivers under 15 years of age and Cadet/Bambino Drivers. The weight of the helmet may be checked at any time during an event and must not weigh more than 1,550g:
• SNELL – FIA CMR2007
• SNELL – FIA CMS2007
*From 1st January 2011 all Cadet drivers require
the Snell – FIA CMR2007/CMS2007 helmet
standard.

From 1st January 2013 all National Kart Drivers under 15 years of age will require the Snell - FIA CMR2007/CMS2007 helmet standard.
So no difference between car and Kart or Superkart and any other kart. (Leaving aside the under 15 extras.) In addidtion to helmets recognised for car, there are some recognised for kart only but again, no distinction between superkart and any others.
