22、 and United Kingdom. BS EN 13567:2002+A1:20074 Introduction Fencing by virtue of being a combat sport in which body contact by the weapon occasionally (but usually inadvertently) occurs outside the zones of protection, is by its nature dangerous. Protective clothing and equipment for fencers is inte
23、nded as far as possible to prevent injuries, or in the worst cases to reduce the severity of injuries, particularly by the point of the weapon. Broken blades pose a particular threat. The circumstances of the breakage of blades may result in high tip velocities and consequent high energy impacts by
24、the broken blade. Broken blades have been known to penetrate protective equipment with fatal consequences. No practical clothing is capable of withstanding all broken blade impacts. In this standard the concept of the optimum level of protection has been taken into account. This concept is that the
25、level of protection specified should be as high as it can be, without causing such unacceptable discomfort or impediment to fencing movements that fencers would not use the protective clothing. The clothing specified in this standard provides two levels of protection perceived by the organisers and
26、participants in the sport to be appropriate. Its use is expected to reduce risks of injuries to fencers to a tolerable level. 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the general requirements for ergonomics, sizing, coverage and performance of protective clothing and equipment for use in the sport o
27、f fencing. Requirements for the marking of clothing and equipment and the information to be supplied by the manufacturer are given. Test methods are described and performance levels are defined. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from
28、 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 when incorporated in it by amendme
