It is true that the S-92 has been certified to a higher standard than the EH-101 however the EH-101 was certificated based on no catastrophic failures. This does not mean that the EH-101 design is such that no catastrophic failures would ever occur it means that no catastrophic failures were ever considered in the development of the safety design standards that were required for civil certification. The S-92 is yet to be proven but the EH-101 has already suffered several catastrophic failures that resulted in three crashes and the loss of life and property. These failures were considered in the original safety analysis but were stricken from all documentation that led to certification.
