SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers minimum performance criteria and describes test methods for body protectors for use in equine racing in a controlled environment.
Note 1: It is recognized that it is not possible to write a body protector performance standard that will result in products that can protect against all types of injury or death in an accident.  
1.2 It is not the intention of this specification to bar from consideration materials of improved quality or performance not known at time of development of this specification.  
1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.  
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.  
1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

ABSTRACT
This specification covers the design and minimum performance criteria, and associated test methods (including apparatuses required for) for body protectors used in horse sports and horseback riding. The body protectors shall meet specified requirements for the material used, protector assembly, extent and form of protective material, attachments, and dimension, sizing, and body coverage. The testing procedures that the body protectors shall go through are shock attenuation test, penetration and deformation test, impact sites test, padding separation test, and closure test. Prior to testing, each body protector should be conditioned in accordance to ambient temperature, low temperature, high temperature, and water immersion.

SCOPE
1.1 This test method covers a comparative measurement method for impact absorption properties for body padding and protective wear (apparel) for the sport of fencing. The apparel includes fencing mask bibs, underarm protectors or plastrons, padded vests, uniform jackets, knickers or trousers, gloves, and other protection worn to protect against impacts from the fencing weapon's tip (for example, touches) for foil, saber, or epee. The scope of this test method excludes measurement or performance for perforation resistance of the blade, whether in tact or broken.  Note 1-This is a simple test method to discriminate between qualities of different padding materials or systems under an impact that simulates the delivery of a fencing touch. It does not purport to measure quantitative impact energy absorption values at thrust sites. Until in-field data become available, this standard allows manufacturers to intercompare padding systems, fabrics, materials, or composites for protective fencing wear for integrity, robustness, and impact attenuation.
1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated with fencing padding and will not prevent all injuries due to blades impacting fencers. It is the responsibility of the users of the protective padding to establish appropriate safety practices, including maintaining safe fencing distances and care and inspection of the protective wear as well as the blade. Specifically, this standard does not address degradation of the protective padding with use and laundering, or performance of the padding for puncture resistance by thrusts involving in-tact or broken blades. It should be recalled that the sport derives from duelling and is inherently not free of risk of injury or death .
