Don’t think it is wrong. You must use equipment with that homologation for FIA events
Here’s the technical regulations for 2024, assume they won’t change for 2025.
7.2 Overalls
Fabric overalls must have either: i) a «Level 2» CIK-FIA
homologation granted according to CIK-FIA Standard 2013-1 or
ii) be Grade 1 or Grade 2 Karting Overalls complying with FIA
Standard 8877-2022.
See www.fiakarting.com for the complete lists of homologated
overalls.
Leather overalls complying with the Standards defined by the FIM
are allowed. For competitions on long circuits, leather overalls
complying with the FIM standards (motorbikes, 1.2 mm thickness)
or Grade 2 Karting Overalls complying with FIA Standard 8877-
2022 are mandatory.
NOTE
Current FIA-homologated overalls (Standard CIK-FIA N2013-1)
are accepted during their useful life, which is indicated on the
label of the overalls, but not beyond 31.12.2029.
Karting overalls complying with FIA Standard 8877-2022 are
mandatory from 01.01.2030.
I’ll call our supplier today but the below is pretty clear I think :
Effective January 1, 2025, all participants in FIA Championships, Cups and Trophies must use karting shoes and karting gloves approved according to this 8877-2022 FIA Standard. This requirement extends to all karting competitions listed on the international sporting calendar, ensuring a consistent safety level across karting.
I’ve quoted the Technical Regulation and provided the link to it. I really don’t know how it could be anymore clear.
Is the FIA involved in all aspects of karting in Europe? I looked on their website and there was only a handful of events. Are Rok, Rotax, WSK, etc events held in Europe bound by the FIA as well?
FIA rules applies all the time for official events.
Some of the indipendent organizations like WSK, CSAI and other national organizations might have their own rules for class structure but tech is often the same as FIA.
