29、land and the United Kingdom. BS EN 13158:2009EN 13158:2009 (E) 5 Introduction Protective jackets, body protectors and shoulder protectors are worn by horse riders, those working with horses, horse drivers and passengers in horse driven vehicles, so that they will have some protection from impacts co
30、nsequent on falling from horses or vehicles. Such impacts may be against soft or hard ground, or objects such as trees, vehicles, posts or rails. Fallen riders, drivers and passengers, and those working with horses will also have some protection from injury from being kicked, trodden on, or crushed
31、by a horse or vehicle. Falls from horses and vehicles involve high levels of energy dissipation. Injuries cannot be entirely prevented by material in protective clothing but should be reduced in severity. Injuries will not be prevented by the protective clothing in accidents involving severe torsion
32、, flexion, extension or crushing of the body. Further information is given in Annex A. It has been assumed in the drafting of this Standard that the execution of its provisions is entrusted to appropriately qualified and experienced people, for whose guidance it has been prepared. The apparatus desc
33、ribed should only be used by competent persons and requires safeguards to prevent, as far as is reasonably practicable, injury to the operator and other persons. BS EN 13158:2009EN 13158:2009 (E) 6 1 Scope This Standard specifies the requirements and test methods for the coverage, sizing, adaptabili
34、ty and adjustability, restraint, ergonomics, construction, innocuousness, and performance under impact to be provided by protective jackets, body and shoulder protectors to be worn by children, youths and adults of either sex while riding horses, working with horses, driving horses or being a passen
35、ger in a horse driven vehicle. Such protectors are intended to provide some protection against impacts due to falls from horses and vehicles, and impacts while on the ground due to a fall, or while working with a horse. Impacts may be against the ground or objects such as trees or vehicles, or impac
36、ts may be due to kicks, being trodden on or being crushed by a horse. The protectors covered by this Standard are not intended to provide complete protection against injuries in accidents involving severe torsion, flexion, extension or crushing of the body. Requirements for marking and the provision
37、 of information are given. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies.
