24、on Association football by virtue of being a body contact sport presents a number of hazards which can cause injuries. Shin guards cannot always prevent serious injuries but are intended to significantly reduce the severity of laceration, contusion and puncture caused by impacts. Shin guards intende
25、d for protection in association football can be used in other sports where appropriate, and where the rules of the sport permit. However, the protection provided in such other sports cannot be claimed to be adequate on the basis of conformance to this European Standard without supporting information
26、 concerning the sport in which the shin guards are to be used. DIN EN 13061:2010-01 EN 13061:2009 (E) 6 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the general requirements for the ergonomics, innocuousness, sizing, coverage, performance, and cleaning of association football players shin guards. Test m
27、ethods are described and performance levels are defined. Requirements for the marking of shin guards and the information to be supplied with them are given. 2 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this European Standard, the following terms and definitions apply. 2.1 contusion or bruise injury u
28、sually caused by a blunt impact in which the skin is not broken. Underlying soft tissue is damaged by compression and by shearing forces. Fine blood vessels are damaged leading to bleeding, discoloration and swelling 2.2 laceration irregular torn injury through the skin 2.3 puncture wound in which a
29、 penetrating object makes a discrete hole through the skin which more or less closes after withdrawal of the object 2.4 association football game of football in which the ball is not picked up or carried by field players, and in which the rules for tackling should limit the severity of body blows 2.
30、5 internal ridges raised area of the shell material which is directed towards the users leg. A ridge is a linear feature that has a top width of less than 5 mm or an area feature with a top area of less than 25 mm23 Requirements 3.1 General, including innocuousness Shin guards for association footba
31、ll players shall meet a general requirement that they are safe to use and fit for their purpose, and the following specific requirements: Construction materials or their derivates shall not harm those coming into contact with them. NOTE Information on the identification and classification of such su
32、bstances can be found in the Directive 67/548/EEC (classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances) 1 as well as in the Regulation (EC) no.1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restrictio
33、n of Chemicals (REACH) 2. The manufacturer shall list in the information supplied by the manufacturer the substances used for the main components of the product. DIN EN 13061:2010-01 EN 13061:2009 (E) 7 There shall not be such hard or sharp edges, seams, buckles or other items on the surfaces of the
34、 product that can harm the user or other players during normal use, when tested according to 4.4.1. If there are ridges that can be felt with the fingers on the inside of the shin guard, they shall be tested according to 4.4.2. If there are ridges higher than 1 mm on the outer surface of the shin gu
35、ard, they shall be tested according to 4.4.3. The shin guard does only perform this requirement, if the end points of the arc of the appropriate gauge touch the surface of the shin guard at all positions tested as described in 4.4.3.2 and in all orientations of the gauge. 3.2 Ergonomics Shin guards
36、for association football players shall be so designed that in the foreseeable conditions of use for which they are intended the user can perform the typical playing movements, e.g. running, jumping, flexing the foot, without being hindered. If restriction or severe discomfort is reported, the produc
37、t fails. Test method, see 4.5. 3.3 Sizing Shin guards for association football players shall be marked with their size. The size marking shall be the range of body height of players that the shin guard is designed to fit. 3.4 Restraint Shin guards for association football players shall be designed s
38、o that they should remain in place during normal play and during impacts. The restraint system recommended by the manufacturer or his authorised representative established in the community shall be tested in accordance with 4.6. On release of the force, the displacement of the shin guard from its in
39、itial position shall be less than 15 mm or less than 15 % of the linear dimension of the test area measured in line with the force applied, if this is greater than 15 mm. 3.5 Stud impact resistance Shin guards for association football players shall resist impacts by a metal stud 10 mm in diameter wh
40、en tested according to 4.7.1 and 4.7.2. The inner surface of the shin guards tested shall not be pervasively torn or being perforated. No hard material shall shatter or give rise to potentially injurious fragments. When tested according to 4.7.2, the stud shall be stopped less than 25 mm below the z
41、ero line. 3.6 Blunt impact performance When tested according to 4.8, the transmitted force of the three single impacts to the same point on three shin guards shall not exceed 2,0 kN in the central or lateral test areas. 4 Test methods 4.1 General Confirm by reference to appropriate documentation, e.
42、g. document of compliance, test reports, and by measurement, visual inspection and tactile examination of the shin guard, that it meets the requirements of 3.1. Measuring instruments unless otherwise specified shall be accurate to 2 % of the pass/fail level of the characteristic being measured. For
43、each of the required sequences of measurements performed in accordance with this standard, a corresponding estimate of the uncertainty of the final result shall be determined. The uncertainty of DIN EN 13061:2010-01 EN 13061:2009 (E) 8 measurement shall be expressed in the form X. It shall be used i
44、n determining whether a “Pass“ performance has been achieved. If the final result minus X is below the pass level when the requirement that a certain value shall be exceeded, the sample shall be deemed to have failed. NOTE It is anticipated that values of uncertainty of measurement will be usually b
45、etween 2 % and 5 % of the measured value for force and length measurements. 4.2 Sampling and conditioning of the test samples Sufficient pairs of new, unused shin guards shall be supplied to execute all the tests required by this Standard. At least one sample of each size to be placed on the market
46、shall be included, complete with the labels and information supplied by the manufacturer that will be supplied with the product. The construction of all sizes shall be checked to ensure that they are identical apart from areal dimensions, and that these are in the proportion to the sizes marked on t
47、he shin guards. If the construction of all sizes is identical, at least two sizes shall be subjected to mechanical testing. If differences in construction are apparent, all sizes shall be tested. If a specific test cannot be executed because integrated straps, socks or accessories interfere with the
48、 testing procedure, these straps, socks or accessories shall be cut off. However, no parts of the test area shall be cut off. Before testing all shin guards shall be cleaned five times according to the manufacturers instructions in the information supplied by the manufacturer. Test specimens shall b
49、e conditioned at a temperature of (20 2) C and at a relative humidity of (65 5) % for at least 48 h before testing and the tests shall be carried out in the same environment or within 10 min of removal from that environment. 4.3 Test area marking The total test area is formed by a central test area and a lateral test area. The lateral test area is a border area of 15 mm constant width surrounding the central test area. The total tes
