Back protectors shall be provided with means of restraint and/or adjustments capable to ensure that the protector is maintained in position during use. This requirement is not applicable for protectors to be inserted or incorporated into garments. Testing shall be carried out according to 5.2. 4.2 Innocuousness The innocuousness shall comply with the requirements of EN 1621-1. 4.3 Minimum dimensions of zones of protection Motorcyclists’ back protectors shall have a minimum zone of protection related to the waist to shoulder measure of the largest user indicated by the marking. The minimum dimensions of the zone of protection shall be determined from Table 1, for the upper value of the size range (see 4.6). SIST EN 1621-2:2014

The dimensions and position of the zone of protection, relative to the coverage provided by the whole product, shall be given in the information supplied by the manufacturer (see Clause 7). NOTE The minimum dimensions of the zones of protection are usually marked on the specimens during the testing procedures. 4.4 Impact attenuation When impact protection is tested in accordance with 5.1.6.1 (ambient impact test), 5.1.6.2 (wet impact test) and, if required, 5.1.6.3 (high temperature impact test) and/or 5.1.6.4 (low temperature impact test), the transmitted force shall conform to the values in Table 2. Level 1 or 2 cannot be awarded unless such level is achieved under all of the claimed test conditions. Table 2 — Performance levels Level 1 Level 2 mean value: ≤ 18 kN single strike: ≤ 24 kN mean value: ≤ 9 kN single strike: ≤ 12 kN After each test, there shall be no fragmentation of the sample and no sharp edges shall be formed. However, formation of cracks and loss of soft debris is permissible. SIST EN 1621-2:2014
