Introduction
Motorcyclists’ protective jackets, trousers, one-piece suits, two-piece suits, impact protector ensemble
garments and other protective garments (hereinafter: “garments”) are intended to give some amount of
protection to riders without significantly reducing the ability of the rider to control the motorcycle. In
addition, they are designed to provide adequate protection against the risks against which they are
intended to protect, such as a fall from a motorcycle or another accident. Additional, particular, hazards
encountered during a motorcycle accident may include: impact with and abrasion from the riding
surface, impacts with the rider’s motorcycle, conflicting vehicles, and other objects. Motorcyclists’
protective garments are not intended to and cannot prevent traumas caused by high-energy impacts,
traumas caused by severe forces of bending, twisting, torsion, flexion, or crushing as the result of
striking an object, traumas caused by extreme abrasion, traumas caused by extreme movements, or
traumas caused by massive penetrations. No protective garments can offer complete protection against
all injuries. The principle of this standard is to define the basic performance requirements considered
essential for motorcyclists’ protective garments, in order for them to offer useful, classes of protection
to riders according to the risks they may encounter, in the situations described above, during various
riding activities and in various riding environments. This standard does not cover risks caused by
extreme weather conditions. Where additional protective features are claimed (e.g. high visibility), the
assessment of said protective features will be done with reference to the appropriate additional
standards.Motorcycling encompasses a diverse range of riders participating in a diverse range of activities. While
all motorcyclists face similar fundamental risks when involved in an accident or a fall from a
motorcycle, the type and degree of risk or hazard that a motorcyclist will encounter and the class of
protection that they will need is closely linked to the riding activity, the riding environment, and the
nature of the accident. In addition, because each motorcyclist participates in their chosen riding activity
in different ways, within specific riding activities motorcyclists are also exposed to varying levels of risk
and, therefore, require varying classes of protection. The elements that are a part of the fundamental
design and functionality of a particular type of motorcyclists’ protective garment, while appropriate and
minimally constraining or limiting when used in a specific environment for a specific riding activity,
may, on the other hand, present unacceptable constraints and liabilities in other riding environments
and for other riding activities, such as increased penalties of weight, decreased range of motion and/or
heat stress, and therefore, may not be acceptable for use by all riders during all motorcycle activities.
This series of standards has been developed to encompass a large range of motorcycle disciplines and
motorcyclists’ activities, each with their own particular risks and appropriate classes of protection, to
ensure that the best possible protection of an appropriate type is available for riders during their riding
activities.This standard is a part of a series of standards including also EN 17092-2, EN 17092-3, EN 17092-4 and
EN 17092-6 which together describe the requirements for motorcyclists’ garments, according to the
various classes of protection offered and EN 17092-1, which specifies the test methods to assess the
conformity of said garments to the requirements of the applicable product standard of the EN 17092
series.Classes of motorcycle protective garments and the principle of risk category zoning
Classes of ProtectionGarments designed to provide protection for motorcycle riders are tested according to the class of
protection they afford. The performance requirements for the classes of protection are detailed by
specific standards as follows:— EN 17092 - 2— Class AAA garments
offer protection from impact and abrasion, using materials and construction that meet higher
requirements than for garments covered by parts 3, and 4 of this standard series.
---------------------- Page: 6 ----------------------SIST EN 17092-5:2020
EN 17092-5:2020 (E)
Class AAA garments may have limiting ergonomic, weight and thermal penalties for some riding
activities.Some common examples are: one-piece or two-piece suits.
— EN 17092-3 — Class AA garments.
offer protection from impact and abrasion, using materials and construction that meet higher
requirements than for garments covered by part 4 of this standard series and lower requirements than
for garments covered by part 2 of this standard series.Class AA garments generally offer protection, against the risks of the greatest diversity of riding
activities, and they may have lower ergonomic and weight penalties than Class AAA garments.
Some common examples are: garments designed to be worn by themselves or to be worn over other
clothing.— EN 17092-4 — Class A garments.
Offer a minimum necessary degree of protection from impact and abrasion, using materials and
construction that meet lower requirements than for parts 2 and 3 of this standard series.
Class A garments are expected to have the least ergonomic and weight penalties.Some common examples are: garments, designed to be worn by themselves or to be worn over other
clothing by riders in warm environments.— EN 17092-5 — Class B garments.
This class is for specialized garments, designed to provide the equivalent abrasion protection of Class A
garments but without the inclusion of impact protectors.Class B garments do not offer impact protection and it is recommended that they be worn with, at least,
EN 1621-1 shoulder and elbow impact protectors, in the case of a jacket, or EN 1621-1 knee impact
protectors, in the case of trousers, in order to offer complete minimum protection.
Some common examples are: modular garments suitable to be combined with other garments providing
impact protection.— EN 17092-6 — Class C garments.
This class is for specialized non-shell, impact protector ensemble garments, designed only to hold one
or more impact protectors in place, either as an undergarment or as an overgarment.
Class C garments are designed to provide impact protection for areas covered by the impact
protector(s) only and they do not offer complete minimum abrasion protection and may not offer
complete minimum impact protection.Class C garments are designed to offer supplemental impact protection only. It is intended that Class C
garments be worn in combination with Class AAA, AA, A or B garments to enhance the protection Class
AAA, AA, A or B garments offer.Some common examples are: modular garments suitable to be combined with other garments providing
impact and abrasion protection or only abrasion protection.This standard contains the requirements for Class B garments.
Risk category zoning
The performance requirements of the various aforementioned standards for motorcyclists’ protective
garments are, in turn, based on specific performance requirements for the garments’ “risk category
zones”. Risk category zones are defined according to the likelihood that the area of the garment
included in the zone will be subject to mechanical stress, in the event of an accident. There are three
zones, as follows:---------------------- Page: 7 ----------------------
SIST EN 17092-5:2020
EN 17092-5:2020(E)
— Zone 1 – the areas of motorcyclists’ protective garments that have a high risk of damage e.g. impact,
abrasion, and tearing.— Zone 2 – the areas of motorcyclists’ protective garments that have a moderate risk of damage e.g.
abrasion and tearing.— Zone 3 – the areas of motorcyclists’ protective garments that have a low risk of damage e.g.
abrasion and tearing.---------------------- Page: 8 ----------------------
