BS EN 13061:2009EN 13061:2009 (E) 5 Introduction Association football by virtue of being a body contact sport presents a
22、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 intended for protection in association football can be used in other sports where
23、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 concerning the sport in which the shin guards are to be used. BS EN 13061:
24、2009EN 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 methods are described and performance levels are defined. Requirements for the ma
25、rking 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 usually caused by a blunt impact in which the skin is not broken. Underlying soft
26、 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 penetrating object makes a discrete hole through the skin which more or less cl
27、oses 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 2.5 internal ridges raised area of the shell material which is directed towards th
28、e 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 football players shall meet a general requirement that they are safe to use and fit fo
29、r 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 substances can be found in the Directive 67/548/EEC (classification, packaging and
30、 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 Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) 2. The manufacturer shall list in the information supplie
31、d by the manufacturer the substances used for the main components of the product. BS EN 13061:2009EN 13061:2009 (E) 7 There shall not be such hard or sharp edges, seams, buckles or other items on the surfaces of the product that can harm the user or other players during normal use, when tested accor
32、ding 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 guard, they shall be tested according to 4.4.3. The shin guard does only perform this r
33、equirement, 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 for association football players shall be so designed that in the foreseeable conditi
34、ons 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 product fails. Test method, see 4.5. 3.3 Sizing Shin guards for association football player
35、s 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 so that they should remain in place during normal play and during impacts. The restrai
36、nt 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 initial position shall be less than 15 mm or less than 15 % of the linear dimension of
37、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 when tested according to 4.7.1 and 4.7.2. The inner surface of the shin guards tested s
38、hall 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 zero line. 3.6 Blunt impact performance When tested according to 4.8, the transmitted
39、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.g. document of compliance, test reports, and by measurement, visual inspection and ta
40、ctile 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 each of the required sequences of measurements performed in accordance with this stan
41、dard, a corresponding estimate of the uncertainty of the final result shall be determined. The uncertainty of BS EN 13061:2009EN 13061:2009 (E) 8 measurement shall be expressed in the form X. It shall be used in determining whether a “Pass“ performance has been achieved. If the final result minus X
42、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 between 2 % and 5 % of the measured value for force and length measurements. 4.2 Sampling a
43、nd 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 shall be included, complete with the labels and information supplied by the manufacturer t
44、hat 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 the shin guards. If the construction of all sizes is identical, at least two sizes shall be
45、 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 testing procedure, these straps, socks or accessories shall be cut off. However, no parts
46、 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 be conditioned at a temperature of (20 2) C and at a relative humidity of (65 5) % for at l
47、east 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 su
48、rrounding the central test area. The total test area shall be marked on a shin guard in the following way: Mark the centre line and the top line of the test area on the surface of the shin guard according to the information given in the information supplied by the manufacturer. Cut a test area templ
49、ate from a dimensionally stable sheet material with the calculated dimensions given by Figure 1 and Table 1 with a limit deviation of 1 mm for all dimensions. Position the template on the shin guard, so that he midpoint of the top edge of the template coincides with the intersection of the top and centre lines drawn on the shin guard and that the midpoint of the bottom edge of the template lines up with the centre line drawn on the shin guar
