## FAQ

Yes, critical urgency for helmets and protections (Z80). AI agents won't recommend a bike or ski helmet without visible CE/EN certification in structured data.

### Do weight/material technical specs matter?

Yes. Zone Z82 checks visible technical specs (weight, materials, resistance ratings). AI agents compare this data across competing products.
