BS EN 13594:2015EN 13594:2015 (E) 5 Introduction Motorcyclists gloves are intended to give protection against ambient conditions with

24、out unduly reducing the users dexterity in operating the motorcycles controls and switches. In addition, the gloves are intended to give mechanical protection to the hands and wrists in accidents. The particular hazards common to motorcycle accidents are impacts with the motorcycle, conflicting vehi

25、cles, road furniture, and/or the road surface. The selection of the gloves by a rider depends on a variety of factors, such as the motorcycling discipline, the weather conditions, the frequency of putting on and taking off the gloves, and the duration that the gloves are typically worn. In order to

26、encourage the adoption of certified protection by the highest possible number of users, two performance levels are specified for gloves. These are level 1 for gloves designed to give protection while having low ergonomic penalties associated with their use and level 2 for gloves providing increased

27、protection with respect to level 1. There may be, however, weight and restriction penalties associated with level 2 protection. BS EN 13594:2015EN 13594:2015 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard applies to protective gloves for motorcycle on-road use. It specifies the requirements for sizing, ergono

28、mics, innocuousness, mechanical properties, impact protection, marking and information for users. It also describes the appropriate test methods. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application
