22、nd United Kingdom. EN 14120:2003+A1:2007 (E) 4 Introduction Roller sports are all the pastimes and competitions in which roller sports equipment is used. This equipment includes for example roller skates, inline skates and skateboards. The users range from small children to adults of all ages. The m
23、ain threat to most roller sports equipment users is an impact with the surface and with obstacles which may cause physical injuries. Wrist, palm, knee and elbow protectors for users of roller sports equipment are intended to protect the wearer against abrasion, bruises and fractures. Protectors will
24、 not necessarily prevent all injuries in roller sports accidents. EN 14120:2003+A1:2007 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the requirements and test methods for ergonomics, innocuousness, comfort, restraint, strength, abrasion, impact performance as well as provisions for marking and ins
25、tructions supplied by the manufacturer for wrist, palm, knee and elbow protectors (hereinafter referred to as protectors) for all users of roller sports equipment. It does not apply to protectors used in roller sports hockey. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or und
26、ated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text, and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard only whe

35、to be suitable for use in acrobatic roller sports. 5 Requirements 5.1 General Performance requirements shall be based on 3 ranges of body mass as follows: a) range A: Users of up to 25 kg body mass; b) range B: Users of body mass more than 25 kg to 50 kg; c) range C: Users of body mass above 50 kg.
36、Combined protectors such as palm and wrist protectors shall meet the requirements for each protector. 5.2 Ergonomics Protectors shall be so designed and manufactured that in the foreseeable conditions of use for which they are intended the user can perform the roller sports normally and unhindered w

They shall be designed and manufactured to provide protection when used according to the manufacturers instructions, without endangering the user or others. There shall not
38、be hard or sharp edges, seams, buckles or other items on the surfaces of the products that could harm the user or others during normal use. Examination shall be made according to 6.3. Construction materials and incorporated substances, shall not harm those coming into contact with them. The manufact
