This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by February 2016 and conflicting national standards shall be
18、withdrawn at the latest by August 2017. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN and/or CENELEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes EN 13594:2002. This d

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
