EN 13595-1:2002 (E)4IntroductionThe only protection a motorcyclist involved in a road traffic accident has against injury is the clothing he or she iswearing at the time. Motorcyclists' clothing is generally worn as an extension of normal clothing, providingprotection against ambient conditions of wind, water and cold, but motorcycle clothing performing the requirementsof this standard also provides some protection from injury in the event of an accident. It is intended not to hinder arider from controlling his machine. It should be of an acceptable appearance to the wearer.This European Standard is primarily concerned with the protection provided by clothing against injury in accidents.The hazards to which motorcyclists are exposed vary widely depending on the physical environment such as thenature of the road track or mountainside, the climatic environment, the traffic environment, the speed at which themotorcycle is being ridden and the skill of the rider. It is impractical to obtain total clothing performance againstevery combination of hazard existing. Therefore this standard contains the requirements for single characteristics ofsingle items of clothing or simple combinations of garments.This standard is part of a series of standards specifying requirements for particular items of clothing or particularperformance levels and hazards. Further Parts will be issued in due course.1 ScopeThis European Standard specifies general requirements for professional motorcycle riders jackets, trousers andone-piece or divided suits which are intended to protect the wearer against mechanical injury, it does not apply tomotor sport competition events organised by Federation. It also specifies appropriate test methods.2 Normative referencesThis European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. Thesenormative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text, and the publications are listed hereafter. Fordated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this EuropeanStandard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision.

EN 13595-1:2002 (E)11Annex A(normative)Determination of fit and ergonomicsA.1 PrincipleThe test clothing is examined visually for design features that may interfere with riding. The clothing is then worn byan assessor of suitable size and with experience of riding a motorcycle. He or she assesses whether it is possibleto make a range of critical movements required for motorcycle riding.NOTEThe results of manufacturers’ use of trials and development studies as far as included in their Technical File shouldbe taken into account and, at the discretion of the Notified Body, the following evaluation processes of the product’s ergonomicperformance may be reduced or waived.A.2 ApparatusA.2.1A motorcycle or a suitable device which permits the assessor to mimic sitting astride a motorcycle.A.2.2A flight of at least 10 stairs with a step height of 180 mm ± 50 mm.A.2.3A small object of mass less than 0,5 kg.A.2.4An assessor of the sex for which the test garment is designed with experience of riding a motorcycle and abody with dimensions suitable for the test garment.A.2.5A pair of motorcycle gloves and boots, an over suit and a full face helmet all of suitable size for theassessor (A.2.4).A.3 Test specimensOne test garment of a size suitable for the assessor (A.2.4).A.4 ProcedureA.4.1Examine the inside and outside of the garment visually and by touch for any sharp edges or rough areas.Complete question 1 in Table A.1.A.4.2Using the procedure described in ISO 3635, measure and record the dimensions of the assessor.A.4.3Record the marked size of the garment.A.4.4Allow the assessor to don the test garment(s) while completing question 3 in Table A.1. The garment shallbe fitted with the appropriate impact protectors. If the garment was supplied without protectors, suitable protectorsmeeting the requirements of this European Standard shall be inserted. If the garment is made of thick or stiffmaterial, it may be worn, stretched and worked to simulate the effects of use and to assist the moulding of thegarment to the rider's body, before assessment. The manufacturer may offer advice on this process. Leather shallnot be treated with wax or oil unless it is a procedure recommended by the manufacturer.Unless otherwise specified in the user information; the garments under evaluation shall be worn over underclothingand shall not hinder the freedom of movement of the users.SIST EN 13595-1:2002
