Introduction

The only protection a motorcyclist involved in a road traffic accident has against injury is the clothing he or she is wearing at the time. Motorcyclists' clothing is generally worn as an extension of normal clothing, providing protection against ambient conditions of wind, water and cold, but motorcycle clothing performing the requirements of this standard also provides some protection from injury in the event of an accident. It is intended not to hinder a rider from controlling his machine. It should be of an acceptable appearance to the wearer.

Tbis European Standard is primarily concerned with the protection provided by clothing against injury in accidents. The hazards to which motorcyclists are exposed vary widely depending on the physical environment such as the nature of the road track or mountainside, the climatic environment, the traffic environment, the speed at which the motorcycle is being ridden and the skill of the rider. It is impractical to obtain total clothing performance against every combination of hazard existing. Therefore this standard contains the requirements for single characteristics of single items of clothing or simple combinations of garments.

This standard is part of a series of standards specifying requirements for particular items of clothing or particular performance levels and hazards. Further Parts will be issued in due course.

1 Scope

This European Standard specifies general requirements for professional motorcycle riders jackets, trousers and one-piece or divided suits which are intended to protect the wearer against mechanical injury, it does not apply to motor sport competition events organised by Federation.

NOTE This method is intended to determine the likelihood of a garment or part of a garment moving on the wearer's body during a motorcycle accident, hence exposing their body tissue and increasing the risk of potential injury.

B.1 Principle

.1 Sleeves and legs

A rigid cone of specified dimensions is inserted into the sleeve or leg of a test garment and the displacement of the cone is measured when a specified force is applied longitudinally to it.

Connection between divided suits

The clothing is either hung vertically or worn and specified forces are applied to defined areas of the garment. Any separation between the garments or failure of the connection is visually assessed.

B.2 Apparatus

B.2.1 Ten rigid test cones with hard polished surfaces, shaped as defined in Figure B.1 and one with each of the dimensions specified in Table B.1. Each cone shall be fitted with a hook to enable a longitudinal force to be applied to its smaller end.

8.2.2 A means of applying a force of 50 1'1 ± 5 N, and 30 N ± 3 N to the cones (B.2.1), for example a spring balance.

8.2.3 Two clamps capable of firmly gripping the edge of an impact protector and outer material of the garment so that they do not move when a force of 20 N is applied to them.

B.2.4 A means of applying a force of 20 1'1 ± 2 N to the clamps (8.2.3).

8.2.5 A means of applying a force of 50 N ± 5 Nand 100 N ± iON to the trouser leg of the garment, for example a spring balance or system of weights.

B.2.6 For divided suits a means of suspending the garments vertically, for example clothes hanger or a subject of the correct size.

B.2.7 Lining material from the test garment.

B.3 Procedure

8.3.1 Restraint of sleeves and legs

B,3,1,1 Select test cones depending on the chest size of the clothing as follows:

a) for chest 88 cm to 96 cm: Cone 1;

b) for chest 96 cm to 104 cm: Cone 2;

c) for chest 104 cm to 112 cm: Cone 3;

d) for chest 112 cm to 120 cm: Cone 4;

e) for chest 120 cm to 128 cm: Cone 5.

NOTE The test cone dimensions specified in Table B.1 are designed for use in clothing of different sizes. Chest girth is a better predictor of limb girth than body height.

If the garment has a particularly narrow or wide fitting select the next cone below or above the one indicated. However, the final selection of the appropriate cone size to use in testing shall be based on an assessment of the size of individual the garment is designed to fit, and the amount of clothing that the garment has been designed to accommodate.

Close all restraint devices fully and securely.

Lay the selected cone on a piece of lining material from the garment (B.2.7) placed on a hard flat horizontal surface. Use the device (B.2.2) to gradually apply a force, over 20 s - 60 s to the test cone. Record the force required to start the cone moving as Fa (see note 2).

For ready made garments continue as described in B.3.1.2. For made-to-measure garments continue as in B.3.1.3.

15

SRPS EN 13595-1 :2008 ISS

8.3.1.2 For each type of limb spread out the garment on a flat horizontal surface such as a bench or the floor and insert the selected test cone into the top of the limb to be tested so that the smaller end of the cone is closer to the ankle or cuff.

Adjust the closure so that the sleeve or trouser end is aligned with the datum line on the cone ± 5 mm.

Use the device (8.2.2) to gradually apply a force, over 20 s - 60 s, to the test until the required maximum force is reached:

Sleeves: 50 + Fo ± 5 N

Legs: 30 + Fo ± 3 N

(See note below)

Use the scale on the cone to determine the movement of the cone from the datum position and record this value as L.

Remove the force from the cone and repeat the procedure a further four times.

Repeat the entire procedure witl1 the paired sleeve or leg.

Calculate the mean of the ten L values for the sleeve or trouser leg.

Measure the available circumferential adjustment of the closures above and below the settings used in the tests.

NOTE This procedure is employed to remove the need to specify the mass of the test cones. It is acknowledged that it does not give a full correction Fo for use in the calculation of maximum force but it is the nearest practical value obtainable.

8.3.1.3 For made-to-measure garments follow the procedure in B.3.1.2 except that the starting point is not necessarily the datum line, but where the garment end lies naturally when the closure is done up.

B.3.2 Divided suits joined at the waist with a slide fastener. Vertically suspend the test jacket from a clothes hanger or suitable support (8.2.6) and close the waist band slide fastener to attach the trousers.

Use the device (8.2.5) to gradually apply, over 20 s - 60 s, a downward force of 100 N ± iON to each trouser leg.

Visually assess the garment and record whether any of the following has occurred:

a) trouser waistband fallen below the jacket lower edge;

b) failure of the attachment between the jacket and trousers;

c) a gap in protection anywhere on the garment.

B.3.3 Divided suits with either a long jacket or high trousers (including salopettes) not joined by a waist band slide fastener.

Put the jacket and trousers on a subject of suitable dimensions (8.2.6) so that all the restraint systems are connected and adjusted as recommended in the user information.

Use the device (8.2.5) to gradually apply a force of 30 N ± 5 N, over 20 s 60 s, to various points on the jacket lower edge and trouser waistband of the garment in directions which attempt to pull the trousers down below the jacket's lower edge, and to raise the jacket's lower edge above the trousers,

While each force is applied, visually assess the garment and record whether any of the following has occurred:

a) trouser waistband fallen below the jacket lower edge;

b) failure of the attachment between the jacket and trousers; 16

ISS SRPS EN 13595-1 :2008

c) a gap in protection anywhere on the garment.

8.3.4 Attachment of impact protector

Grip or attach a clamp to the SSL of the garment within 20 mm of the edge of an impact protector. Attach a clamp to the edge of the impact protector on its opposite side so that the line between the clamps passes approximately across the centre of the impact protector.

NOTE Where pockets forming part of the garment's provide the means by which impact protectors are fitted to the garment, care should be taken to ensure the lining pocket is also included.

Apply a force of (20 ± 1) N separating the two clamps. If the impact protector moves measure the diameter of the impact protector in the direction of the force and the distance the impact protector has moved relative to the clamp on the SSL of the garment.

Calculate the value of the movement as a percentage of the protector diameter. Make four tests per impact protector at approximately 45° to each other. Report the four results for each impact protector.

Test report

The test report shall include the following information:

a) reference to this test method, annex B of EN 13595-1;

Annex C (normative)

Determination of category zoning

SRPS EN 13595-1 :2008

NOTE This method is intended to determine where the boundaries lie on a garment between different risk category zones regarding injury during a motorcycle accident.

C.1 Principle of zoning

Examination of motorcycle clothing which has been damaged in accidents has shown that the risk of impact and abrasion hazards varies across the surface of the garment. This led to the development of a system for dividing the surfaces of garments into zones using a system of four risk categories. Zone 1 areas are at high risk of impacts, zone 1 and 2 areas are at high risk of abrasion, zone 3 areas are at moderate risk of abrasion, and zone 4 is at low risk of abrasion damage. The performance requirements of the clothing are linked to these zones. The extent of the zones 2 4 inclusive on particular garments are determined by calculations based on the dimensions of the garment. The extent of zone 1 is determined by reference to EN 1621-1. Templates and measurements are used to check the correspondence between the construction of the garment and the zones. Figure C.1 shows the approximate zone positions and dimensions.

C.2 Apparatus

C.2.1 A sheet of thin flexible material approximately 0,5 m x 0,5 m which does not shear or fray, for example paper.

C.2.2 Drawing instruments capable of constructing template shapes of the form given in Figure C.2, for example a rule and compass.

C.2.3 A means of cutting the shape (C.2.2) out of the material (C.2.1 ).

C.2.4 A means of measuring distances over curved surfaces up to a length of 1 m to the nearest 5 mm, for example a tape measure.

C.2.5 An indelible means of marking lines with a width of less than 5 mm on the outer surface of the garment, for example a marking pen.

C.3 Test Specimens

At least one garment representative for the range available are required, or in the case of a made-to-measure product, a garment of the size used for the test in annex A, or a garment made for a wearer of stated dimensions.

C.4 Procedure

C.4.1 Preparation of templates

The templates may be prepared by measuring the dimensions of the garment. The size of impact protectors shall conform to the relevant requirements of EN 1621-1.

If you are to measure the garment use the device (C.2.4) to measure the outer surface of the clothing under examination to the nearest 5 mm along each of the garment control dimensions in accordance with Table C.1.

19

SRPS 13595-1 :2008

Calculate each of the '1, '2 and I values in accordance with the criteria given in Table C.1.

Table C.1 - Calculation of zone 2 template dimensions 'from garment measurements

Template Template Garment control dimension dimension

'1 = Elbow circumference x 0,30

Elbow ! '2 = Sleeve circumference at 0,25 distance from the cuff to the elbow x 0,30

I = Cuff to elbow distance x 0,55

'1 = Circumference over shoulder through armpit x 0,2

Shoulder '2 = '1 X 0,1

I =r1

Hip '1 = Distance along sideseam from top of waistband to ankle cuff x 0,1; but limited in upward extent by the waistline

(1 = Knee circumference x 0,25

Knee (High boots) r2 Leg circumference at 0,25 distance from knee to ankle cuff x 0,2

I Knee point to ankle cuff distance x 0,4

(1 = Knee circumference x 0,25

Knee (Low boots) (2 = Leg circumference at 0,75 distance from knee to ankle

cuff x 0,2

I Knee point to ankle cuff distance x 0,6

Use the equipment (C.2.1) to draw onto the sheet of material (C.2.1) templates of the form shown in Figure C.2 so that one template conforms to each set of the calculated dimensions.

Use the device (C.2.3) to cut out each template so that the template dimensions of '1, (2 and I are within ± 2 mm of the calculated values.

C.4.2 Zone 2 areas

Centrally align each of the zone 2 templates with the relevant impact protector and note the garment construction in the area under the template.

\\Jote the construction of the garment within the areas bound by the following lines: from the waist to the level of the crutch posteriorly and extending forwards to join the hip zone 1 area. Continue this down the trouser side-seam to the knee with the lines not less than 75 mm forward and 50 mm behind this side seam.

C.4.3 Zone 4 areas

Note the construction of the garment in the following areas. Where a percentage or variable quantity is specified, the area appearing to offer the lowest level of protection shall be included.

a) Torso: not more than 35 % of the torso circumference on the anterior surface, and not closer than 30 mm to the shoulder zone 2 template.

b) Neck: a depth of 100 mm from the top edge of the collar.
