EN 13634:2015 (E) 4 European foreword This document (EN 13634:2015) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 161 “Foot and leg protectors”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by June 2016, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by June 2016. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes EN 13634:2010. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s). For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document. The following significant technical changes have been introduced in comparison with the former edition EN 13634:2010: a) The requirement concerning forward facing seams has been removed; b) Clarification on the classification of the height of the upper (Table 2, Table 3 and Figure 2). A reduction in minimum upper height has been introduced for footwear having level 1 performance in upper abrasion resistance (4.4.4) and upper impact cut resistance (4.4.5); c) The water absorption and desorption requirements for insoles and insocks have been made optional (Table 7) and a new marking is created WAD; d) If applicable, the ankle areas shall be tested on the internal and external side of the footwear (5.1); e) Any removable component shall be tested during the test of transverse rigidity (6.1.3); f) Clarification on test method (6.1.5). According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey and the United Kingdom.

EN 13634:2015 (E) 5 Introduction Motorcyclists’ footwear is intended to give a degree of mechanical protection to the foot, optionally the ankle and/or part of the shin in accidents without significantly reducing the ability of the rider to control the motorcycle and operate the foot controls. The particular hazards in motorcycle accidents are abrasion with the road surface plus impacts with the motorcycle, conflicting vehicles, road furniture and road surfaces. Road surface injuries are worse when the foot is trapped under the motorcycle during sliding impacts. The standard sets out a number of basic requirements considered essential for this type of footwear including a number of ergonomic requirements. For a number of tests, this European Standard includes two performance levels in terms of the protection afforded. The degree of risk or hazard that a motorcyclist will face is closely linked to the type of riding and the nature of the accident. Within EN 13634:2015 ‘Level 1’ performance is deemed as the minimum level required so that the footwear provides useful protection in an accident, and offers footwear with an optimum comfort level to suit all riding types. Where riders feel that their riding style or sport exposes them to an increased accident risk ‘Level 2’ has been provided, which offers increased performance. However it is likely that this higher performance level has an increased penalty for the weight and comfort so may not be acceptable to all riders. SIST EN 13634:2016
