Motorcyclists' protective clothing against mechanical impact - Part 4: Motorcyclists' inflatable protectors - Requirements and test methods

This European Standard covers requirements and test methods for mechanically activated inflatable protectors for motorcycle riders (in the following text called protector). It specifies the minimum level of protection, the minimum intervention time of inflated bag, and the minimum coverage to be provided by motorcyclists' protectors worn by riders. The requirements of this standard are applicable to various design of inflatable protectors and refers to all body areas and their combinations which are claimed to be protected. Inflatable protectors covered by this standard may be incorporated in motorcycle garments or equipped with by appropriate restraint systems and worn on their own.
The standard contains the requirements for the performance of the system during an accident and details of the test methods, requirements for sizing, ergonomics, innocuousness, labelling and the provision of information.
Inflatable protectors other than mechanically activated are not covered by this standard.

Motorradfahrer-Schutzkleidung gegen mechanische Belastung - Teil 4: Aufblasbare Protektoren für Motorradfahrer - Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren

Diese Europäische Norm legt Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren für mechanisch aktivierte, aufblasbare Protektoren (im folgenden Text „Protektoren“ genannt) für Motorradfahrer fest. Beschrieben werden Mindest-werte für den Schutzgrad, die Interventionszeit der befüllten Protektoren und die Schutzzone für die vom Motorradfahrer getragenen Protektoren. Die Anforderungen dieser Norm erstrecken sich auf verschiedenartige Konstruktionen aufblasbarer Protektoren und beziehen sich auf sämtliche Körperbereiche und deren Kombination, die sie schützen sollen. Die durch diese Norm behandelten aufblas¬baren Protektoren dürfen in die Motorradschutzkleidung eingearbeitet sein oder Bestandteil geeigneter Rückhaltesysteme und eigenständig anzulegen sein.
Diese Europäische Norm enthält die Anforderungen an die Leistungen des Systems bei einer Kollision und genaue Angaben zu den Prüfverfahren und Anforderungen an die Größenbestimmung, Ergonomie, Unschädlichkeit, Kenn¬zeichnung und die Informationsbereitstellung.
Diese Norm behandelt ausschließlich mechanisch aktivierte Protektoren.

Vêtements de protection contre les chocs mécaniques pour motocyclistes - Partie 4 : Protecteurs gonflables pour motocyclistes - Exigences et méthodes d’essai

La présente Norme européenne concerne les exigences et les méthodes d'essai relatives aux protecteurs gonflables à déclenchement mécanique (appelés dans le texte qui suit « protecteurs ») pour conducteurs de motocycles. Elle spécifie le niveau minimal de protection, le temps de déploiement minimal d'un coussin gonflable et la protection minimale que les protecteurs pour motocyclistes portés par des conducteurs doivent fournir. Les exigences de la présente norme sont applicables à différentes conceptions de protecteurs gonflables, et concernent toutes les zones du corps et leurs combinaisons censées être protégées. Les protecteurs gonflables faisant l’objet de la présente norme peuvent être incorporés dans des vêtements de motocycliste, ou équipés de dispositifs de retenue appropriés et portés indépendamment.
La présente Norme européenne contient les exigences relatives à la performance du système lors d’un accident et les détails relatifs aux méthodes d'essai, ainsi que les exigences relatives au dimensionnement, à l'ergonomie, à l'innocuité, à l'étiquetage et à la fourniture d'informations.
Les protecteurs gonflables sans déclenchement mécanique ne sont pas traités dans la présente norme.

Varovalne obleke za zaščito motoristov pred mehanskimi vplivi - 4. del: Napihljive zaščitne blazine za motoriste (airbag) - Zahteve in preskusne metode

Ta evropski standard zajema zahteve in preskusne metode za napihljive zaščitne blazine za motoriste (v nadaljnjem besedilu: zaščitna blazina). Standard določa najmanjšo raven zaščite, najkrajši čas aktivacije napihnjene blazine in najmanjše kritje, ki ga zagotavljajo ščitniki, ki jih nosijo motoristi. Standard vsebuje zahteve glede delovanja ščitnikov v primeru mehanskega vpliva in podrobnosti o preskusnih metodah, zahteve glede velikosti, ergonomike, neškodljivosti, označevanja in zagotavljanja informacij. Ocena mehansko sproženih naprav za napihovanje je opisana v normativnem dodatku A. Naprave z zaznavanjem trka z elektronskim sprožilcem bodo predvidoma opisane v prihodnjem dodatku B.

In order to encourage the adoption of certified protection by the highest possible number of users, two performance levels are specified for inflatable protectors. These are level 1 for protectors designed to give protection whilst having low ergonomic penalties associated with its use and level 2 for protectors providing an increased protection with respect to level 1. There may be, however, weight and restriction penalties associated with level 2 protection.
