The different performance requirements are described in Clause 5. 5 Safety requirements 5.1 General 5.1.1 Knee and elbow protectors shall be so designed that in the foreseeable conditions of use for which they are intended the user can perform the typical movements without being hindered. See test method in 6.3. 5.1.2 Knee and elbow protectors shall be free of sharp edges, corners and burrs that might injure the user. See test method in 6.4. SIST EN 15613:2008
EN 15613:2008 (E) 5 5.2 Innocuousness Construction materials or their derivates shall not harm those coming into contact with them. The manufacturer shall list in the information supplied by the manufacturer the substances used for the main components of the product. NOTE Information on the identification and classification of such substances can be found in the Directive 67/548/EEC (classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances) [1] as well as in the Regulation (EC) no.1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH)[2]. 5.3 Sizing Knee and elbow protectors shall be indicated with a size according to the principles described in Clause 6 of EN 340:2003. See test method in 6.1. 5.4 Adjusting/restraint systems 5.4.1 If knee and elbow protectors have parts which can be adjusted by the user or which can be removed for the purpose of change they shall be so designed that they can be easily adjusted, assembled and removed without a tool.
