Does anyone have a link for those new impact standards on bikes?

I'm considering importing some frames from down under but I want to make sure they are "safe enough" to sell here.. I tried a few googles but wasn't able to find any clear-cut legal standards.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

cheers

Dave M

Brant put up a fair amount of info on this, can't remember if it was on here or on the Ragley blog.

Didn't know CERN were doing front impact tests. Stick the frame in the LHC, shoot a 7 TeV proton beam at the headtube and see if any Higgs bosons come out...?
