28、 DIN EN 1621-1:2013-03 EN 1621-1:2012 (E) 4 Introduction This European Standard is Part 1 of a standard containing requirements and test methods for motorcycle riders impact protectors. Impact protectors meeting the requirements of this European Standard will provide some protection against injury c
29、aused by impacts with road surfaces in motorcycle accidents. They may also slightly reduce the injuries caused by impacts with objects such as other vehicles. In order to encourage the adoption of certified protection by the highest possible number of users, two performance levels are specified for
30、protectors. These are level 1 for protectors designed to give protection whilst having low ergonomic penalties associated with its use and level 2 for protectors providing an increased protection with respect to level 1. There may be, however, weight and restriction penalties associated with level 2
31、 protection. DIN EN 1621-1:2013-03 EN 1621-1:2012 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies requirements and test methods for limb joint impact protectors incorporated or intended to be incorporated into motorcycle riders clothing or used as separate items. 2 Normative references The following
32、documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies.

37、013-03 EN 1621-1:2012 (E) 6 4 Zones of protection and protectors The following body regions are specified as zones of protection and protectors shall be categorised as follows: a) shoulder: protector “S”; b) elbow and forearm: protector “E”; c) hip: protector “H”; d) knee and upper tibia: protector
38、“K”; e) knee, upper and middle tibia: protector “K + L”; f) leg below protector “K”: protector “L”. The size of the zones of protection shall comply with 5.3, Table 1. 5 Requirements 5.1 General Unless otherwise specified, all linear dimensions bigger than 50 mm in the whole text shall be provided w
39、ith a deviation of 2 % and dimensions up to 50 mm with a deviation of 1 mm. Limb joint protectors shall be provided with means of restraint capable of ensuring that the protector is maintained in position during use. This requirement is not applicable for protectors to be inserted or incorporated in
40、to the garments. Testing shall be carried out according to 6.4. 5.2 Innocuousness 5.2.1 The materials shall comply with the requirements for innocuousness of materials in EN 340, with the exception of the requirement concerning the colour fastness to perspiration which is replaced by 5.2.2. 5.2.2 Th
41、e colour fastness to water of the constituent materials which could be likely to come into contact with the skin of the user shall be determined in accordance with 6.2 and shall be at least grade 4 of the Grey scale for the staining of any component of the multi-fibre reference fabric. 5.3 Minimum d
42、imensions of zone of protection Motorcyclists limb joint protectors shall provide a zone of protection with the minimum dimensions as specified in Table 1. Testing shall be carried out as described in 6.3.4. In Table 1, the zones of protection are defined by the three dimensions r1, r2 and l, as ill
43、ustrated in Figure1: DIN EN 1621-1:2013-03 EN 1621-1:2012 (E) 7 Figure 1 Definition of the zone of protection by three key dimensions Table 1 Minimum dimensions of zone of protection Protector Type A protector mm Type B protector mm r1r2l r1r2l S 55 32 64 70 40 80 E 45 24 118 50 30 150 K 55 24 100 7

The degree of risk or hazards that a motorcyclist faces is closely linked to the type of riding and the nature of the accid
45、ent. Level 1 performance is deemed as the minimum level required so that the protector provides useful protection in an accident and offers the protector with an optimum comfort level to suit all riding types. Where riders feel that their riding style exposes them to an increased accident risk, Leve
46、l 2 has been provided, which offers increased performance. Level 2 may have an increased penalty for the weight and comfort. When impact protection is tested in accordance with 6.3.4.2 (ambient impact test), 6.3.4.3 (wet impact test after hydrolytic ageing) and, if required, 6.3.4.4 (high temperatur
47、e impact test) and/or 6.3.4.5 (low temperature impact test), the transmitted force shall conform to the values in Table 2. Level 1 or Level 2 can only be awarded provided that such level is achieved under all test conditions claimed. Table 2 Transmitted force and performance levels Level 1 Level 2 O

DIN EN 1621-1:2013-03 EN 1621-1:2012 (E) 8 After each test, there shall be no fragmentation of the sample and no sharp edges shall be formed
49、. However, formation of cracks and loss of soft debris is permissible. 5.5 Ergonomic requirements When examined and tested in accordance with 6.4, impact protectors shall be found satisfactory for the use intended; to confirm this requirement, each question of 6.5 needs to be answered with “yes”. The following deficiencies are not admitted: a) sharp edges; b) any design feature which cause ergonomic problems to the assessor (see 6.4). 6 Test methods and equipment 6.1 General
