I found this just now, which means if you are competiting at BD you can still wear your old standard hat until the end of 2016. I think this is good as they have not agreed the new standard so I was not happy to buy a new one with a VG1. Hopefully by the end of 2016 they will have the new standards sorted.
Also hopefully the BHS/PC/RC/BE/BSJ will following suit
BS EN 1384 Standard Withdrawal
19th March 2015
British Dressage allows EN1384 hats for 1 year longer!
Following the announcement in December by the EU Commission that the BS/EN1384 hat standard has been withdrawn, British Dressage has decided to revise its approach to the removal of the standard. Hats with the BS/EN1384 standard will continue to be permitted for use in British Dressage Competitions throughout 2015 and 2016. British Dressage will still be removing the BS/EN1384 from the list of recommended standards from the 1stJanuary 2017, but will allow the BS/EN1384 standard to be worn until at least January 2017, this may even be extended depending on the publication of the new harmonised European standard, the date for which has yet to be confirmed.
BD do advise that members should update their hats regularly and when doing so that they meet one of the current standards.
