There are also homologations for safety-relevant assemblies, such as fire extinguishers , seat belts , vehicle headlights , roll bars and parts of the personal driver's equipment such as overalls , helmets , shoes and gloves, fireproof underwear or the so-called HANS system .
In motorcycle and car racing, in near-series classes, such as the Superbike World Championship , every manufacturer must also produce street-legal machines of a model in order to receive homologation for the relevant racing series.
