5 Test methods
5.1 General
Dimensions and other data are subjected to a tolerance of ±3 % unless specified otherwise
5.2 Procedure for determination and demarcation of risk category zones
5.2.1 General
The determination and marking of risk category zones (see Figures 1 to 11) is carried out in steps:
1) Zone 1 areas are located by placing the impact protector area templates of the shoulder, elbow,
knee, or hip impact protectors, as appropriate according to the mandatory protector requirements
for the Class of the garment, on the corresponding locations of the garment, and then marking
around the outside edges of said templates.
2) Zone 2 and zone 3 are then located as follows:
a) primary reference points at the neck, waistline or beltline (as appropriate), crotch, shoulders,
elbows, wrists, knees, and ankles are located and marked;
b) each of the primary reference points is used to determine the location of a specific cross section
of the body and to determine the starting point for measurements around the circumference
that is described by that cross section;
c) the locations of two secondary reference points along each circumference are determined using
two percentages of the measure of that circumference. (These secondary reference points
describe points where the boundaries of the risk category zones intersect the circumferences.);
d) the secondary reference points of each circumference are then linked to the secondary
reference points on the other circumferences with flexible tape and by marking, creating lines
that describe the complete boundaries of the risk category zones across the entire garment.
For all procedures in 5.2.2 and 5.2.3, all mandatory impact protectors to be provided with the garment
(see also Clause 4) shall be in their installed or attached positions and all adjustment straps, devices or
fit adjusting systems shall be adjusted to their maximum looseness so that the garment may be at its
maximum expansion. All vents, pockets, and other external openings shall be closed.
5.2.2 Determination and demarcation of risk category Zone 1
Select the appropriate templates (as described in EN 1621-1:2012, 6.3.1.5.2 and 6.3.1.5.3) for the
mandatory impact protectors, according to the type of protectors (Type A or B) supplied with the
garment and EN 1621-1:2012, 5.3. Position the protectors and templates as described in
EN 1621-1:2012, 6.3.1.5.4, with the exception that the template shall be placed directly on the exterior
of the garment, over the corresponding protector locations, and then mark the boundaries of the
templates on the garment. All areas inside these boundaries are considered Zone 1. See Figure 1 for an
illustration of typical Zone 1 template placement.
Only for Class B or Class C garments without pockets for impact protectors (EN 17092-4:2020): using
Type A impact protector templates (as described in EN 1621-1:2012, 6.3.1.5.2 and 6.3.1.5.3), position
the protector templates as described in EN 1621-1:2012, 6.3.1.5.4, with the exception that the template
shall be placed directly on the exterior of the garment, over the corresponding body joint, and then
mark the boundaries of the templates on the garment. This step is not required for the hip protectors of
class AAA garments (see 5.2.3.5). All areas inside these boundaries are considered Zone 1. See Figure 1
for an illustration of typical Zone 1 template placement.
As class C garments may be partial garments i.e. short trousers or short sleeved shirts or vests, in those
cases the zoning procedure is performed on the available area of the garment.

Figure 1 — Typical placement of Zone 1 templates
5.2.3 Determination and demarcation of risk category Zones 2 and 3
5.2.3.1 Confirmation of primary reference point locations
Using Figures 1 and 2 as a guide, mark the primary reference points according to Table 2. To accomplish
this have a person of suitable size as described in the manufacturer's information notice for users, don
the garment and assume a natural standing position, as permitted by the garment, and then mark the
EN 17092-1:2019 (E)
location of primary reference points A through E and G through H as appropriate on the outside of the
garment. Reference point F is then marked while the assessor is sitting upright with a 90 ° bend at the
knees and hip.
The reference point for the “waist” and subsequent measurements for garments (except trouser
separates) are based on locating the “waistline”, whereas, the reference point for the “waist” and
subsequent measurements for trouser separates (only) are based on locating the “beltline”. See the
definitions at 3.2 and 3.3.
NOTE See Annex A for additional information with regard to the location of the primary reference points and
tolerances.
Table 2 — Location of the primary reference points
Primary Location shall correspond to:
Reference
Point
A The centre of the neck (suprasternal point, anterior)
B The centre of the shoulder articulation (the centre of “r1” of the relevant
EN 1621-1:2012 impact protector template).
C The centre of the elbow articulation (point of elbow)
D The terminal point, at the wrist, of a line which is drawn from the centre of the larger
radius of the installed EN 1621-1:2012 elbow template (“r1”), when positioned
according to 5.2.2, and which intersects “r2” of the elbow impact protector template.
E For garments (except trouser separates) The centre of the waistline (anterior).
For trouser separates (only) The centre of the beltline (anterior).
F The centre of the knee articulation (anterior - the centre of “r1” of the relevant
EN 1621-1:2012 impact protector template)
G The centre of ankle articulation (point of ankle bone at outside of the ankle)
H The centre of the crotch.
In the case of suit legs or trouser legs, with or without cuffs, that do not reach the ankles because they
are designed to be worn inside of boots, reference point G is located on the assessor’s body and a
vertical line, perpendicular to the floor, is projected upwards to the edge of the trouser leg or cuff and
the reference point is marked at this location on the trouser leg or cuff.
Key

Figure 2 — Locations of reference points
5.2.3.2 Marking and measuring the circumferences of the cross sections
a) In order to measure the circumferences of the cross sections the garment shall be mounted on a
mannequin or stuffed with a suitable material. In all cases, the garment shall be expanded to its
maximum dimensions. Care should be taken to assure that the garment is not under such pressure
that the mannequin or stuffing distort the garment, e.g. in areas with stretch panels.
EN 17092-1:2019 (E)
b) Using Figure 2 and Table 3 as guides and starting at primary reference points A, B, C, D, E, F, G,
mark, measure and record the circumferences A, B, C, D, E, F, G on the garment. All circumferences
except for the neck circumference (circumference A) shall be marked in a flat plane.
Circumference measurements shall be to the nearest 0,5 cm. For the neck circumference, the marked
and measured circumference shall follow an approximate circular pathway marked by the anterior and
posterior intersections of the sagittal plane with a transverse plane, passing through the C7 neck
vertebra, and the intersection of the clavicle and sternum.
In the case of suit legs or trouser legs or cuffs where the leg or cuff does not reach the ankles the
circumference is marked on the lowest edge of the leg or cuff.
Table 3 — Marking the circumferences
Circumference Instructions for marking the circumference and for measuring along the
circumference to locate the secondary reference points
A (Neck) Starting at primary reference point A at the centre of the neck on front of the
garment, the line moves over the right shoulder around the back of the neck,
over the left shoulder and continues on to the primary reference point.
B (Shoulder) Starting at the primary reference point B, the line wraps around the front of the
body towards chest, then under arm, up the back of the arm, and continues on
to the primary reference point.
C (Elbow) Arm should be down and to the side. Starting at primary reference point C on
the elbow protector longitudinal centreline, the line wraps forward around
outside/top of arm, around to the inside/underside of arm and continues on to
the primary reference point.
D (Wrist) Arm should be down and to the side. Starting at primary reference point D, the
line wraps forward over the top of wrist, around inside/underside of wrist, and
continues on to the primary reference point.
E Waistline Starting at primary reference point E on the waistline, at the front of the
(Waist) garment, the line moves to the right around the waist, behind the back, and then
around the left of the waist and continues on around the front of the torso to the
primary reference point, in a horizontal plane.
Beltline For trouser separates only - Starting at primary reference point E on the
beltline, at the front of the garment, the line moves to the right around the body,
behind the back, and then around the left of the body and continues on around
the front of the torso to the primary reference point, in a horizontal plane.
F (Knee) Starting at primary reference point F on the knee protector longitudinal
centreline, the line wraps around the leg towards the outside of the leg, around
behind the leg, to the inside of the leg and then continues on to the primary
reference point.
G (Ankle) Starting at primary reference point G the line moves along the outside of the leg,
behind the leg, to the inside of the leg and continues on across the front of the
leg to the primary reference point.
5.2.3.3 Location and marking of secondary reference points (risk zone boundary intersection
points)
Using Figures 3 to 10 and Tables 3 and 4 as guides:
a) Starting with the neck (circumference A) calculate the locations of the secondary reference points
A1 and A2 according to the percentages in Table 4. Then following around circumference A as
described in Table 3, mark points A1 and A2 as shown in the cross-sectional diagram Figure 3.
b) The procedure used for circumference A is then repeated for circumference E (waistline or beltline,
as appropriate) marking points E1 and E2 (see Figure 4).
c) The procedure used for circumference A is repeated for circumferences B, C, D, F, and G on the
RIGHT hand side of the garment marking reference points B1, B2, C1, C2 and so on (see Figures 5, 6,
7, 8, and 9).
d) If the garment's SSL is of asymmetric design the procedure used for circumference A is then
repeated for circumferences B, C, D, F, and G on the LEFT hand side of the garment marking
reference points B1, B2, C1, C2 and so on.
Measurements for the location of secondary reference points and the marking of zone borders shall be
based on the circumference of the garment in its “stuffed form” not the circumference of the wearer’s
body.

5.2.3.4 Connection of secondary reference points to demarcate zone boundaries
Using Figures 3 to 10 as guides:
a) Connect the secondary reference points to demarcate the zone boundaries;
b) To do this, draw connecting lines on the right hand side of the garment:
1) A1-B1-C1-D1
2) D2-C2-B2
3) B2-E1
4) E1-F2-G2
5) G1-F1-H
c) If the garment is of asymmetric design, draw connecting lines on the left hand side of the garment
from
1) A2-B1-C1-D1
2) D2-C2-B2
3) B2-E2
4) E2-F2-G2
5) G1-F1-H
Demarcation of the zone boundaries shall be accomplished using flexible tape and using a marker
following the line of a flexible tape between reference points.
For jackets that are not a component of a two-piece suit, it is not possible to connect secondary
reference points E1-F2 or E2-F2 to demarcate the zone boundaries. In such cases, the jacket shall be
donned by a person of suitable size, who assumes a natural standing position as permitted by the
garment, with arms down and to the side. The zone boundary line is then projected downward from E1
(and E2, as necessary) in a straight line, which is perpendicular to the floor.
For trousers separates begin boundary demarcation with secondary reference points E1 and E2 (as
necessary).

5.2.3.5 Demarcation of Zone 1 buttock
Applicable to EN 17092-2 class AAA garments only.
The buttocks area described in this demarcation procedure is considered Zone 1 and not Zone 2.
For two-piece suits and jacket separates, no part of the jacket is considered part of Zone 1 buttock.
Zone 1 Buttock includes the area of the right and left hip and buttocks (see Figure 11). It is bounded as
follows:
a) on the sides, by vertical lines projected downward from the waistline circumference secondary
reference points or, in the case of trouser separates, by vertical lines projected downward from the
beltline circumference secondary reference points;
b) on the top, by a horizontal line, which extends around the back of the body, intersecting secondary
reference point Y1 above the buttocks and the right and left vertical boundary lines;
c) on the bottom, by a horizontal line which extends around the back of the body, intersecting
secondary reference point Y2 below the buttocks and the right and left vertical boundary lines.
Using Figures 2 to 9 and Figure 11 as guides, mark the boundaries of Zone 1 Buttock according to the
following steps:
a) starting at primary reference point E, on the waistline (for most garments) or on the beltline (for
trouser separates only) mark a vertical line down the front of the torso, under the crotch
intersecting primary reference point H and then up and over the buttocks to a point that is directly
opposite reference point E in a horizontal plane. Mark this as primary reference point Y;
b) measure the distance between primary reference points Y and E along this line (Y-E);
c) calculate the location of secondary reference points Y1 and Y2;
d) Y1 = 15 % of Y-E;
e) Y2 = 40 % of Y-E;
f) starting at primary reference point Y measure down along line Y-E and mark secondary reference
points Y1 and Y2;
g) project vertical lines down from E1 and E2 past the bottoms of the buttocks;
h) mark a horizontal line intersecting the projected line from E2, the secondary reference point Y1 and
the projected line from E1;
i) mark a horizontal line intersecting the projected line from E2, the secondary reference point Y2 and
the projected line from E1.

5.3 Procedure to check the additional garment construction requirements
Inspect structural closures, vents, and pockets to confirm that they meet the relevant requirements.
5.4 Test method for determination of impact abrasion resistance (Darmstadt method)
5.4.1 Principle
The test procedure simulates the stress that is put on the protective garments of an average rider with a
body mass of 75 kg and height of 1,75 m when sliding from variable initial speeds to standstill on a real
concrete road surface.
The translational sliding process is transferred into a scaled rotational system. Three samples of the
material to be tested are mounted in sample holders attached to three arms of a rotating sample carrier
positioned above a concrete tile (road surface). An electric motor accelerates the rotor to which the
sample carrier is attached to a pre-selected number of revolutions per minute, with the samples not yet
touching the concrete tile. After reaching the target velocity, the motor is switched off and the rotor is
released to fall onto the concrete tile. As in a real accident, after touching the concrete tile surface,
friction forces between the test samples and concrete tile decelerate the rotor until it stops. In order to
implement an empirically determined real surface pressure of 18,75 kPa, the test apparatus uses a
smaller total contact area in conjunction with an equivalent reduced inertia in the rotating parts.
Nine identical material test samples are tested during three test runs, completing one test cycle. After
each test run of the test cycle, the samples are assessed for hole formation.
5.4.2 Test criteria
When tested in accordance with the method described in 5.4.5 using the zone dependant speeds listed
in EN 17092-2:2020 and following parts, Table 2 as appropriate, the test samples shall receive a
pass/fail evaluation according to the procedure in 5.4.5.3.
5.4.3 Apparatus, parts and components
5.4.3.1 Apparatus conforming to the following characteristics
Sample carrier number of samples: 3
Static pressure on sample: (18,75 ± 0,2) kPa
Sample holders and sample holder rings: see Figures 13 and 14
Sample holder sliding surface: a SBR (styrene butadiene rubber)
pad
(the same dimension pad shall be used in each sample holder) diameter (48 ± 1)mm
Height (12 ± 1) mm, after running
in procedure (see Clause 5.4.3.3)
shore A hardness (65 ± 5)
density (1,4 ± 0,1) g/cm
Rubbers are known to degrade. Storage should be done at or below normal room temperature and
avoiding UV rays.
This results in:
Moment of rotational mass inertia of the rotor: (2,95 ± 0,05) kgm
Rotational system losses: At a speed of 354 rpm (rotations per minute) ± 3% and on free rotation of the
rotor without contact to the road tile the system shall cover a distance of at least 400 m of the sample
holder.
