Protective garments for motorcycle riders - Part 1: Test methods

This European Standard describes some of the test methods for use with EN 17092 Protective garments for motorcycle riders (Part 2 and later parts). It does not apply to: motorcyclists’ garments for motorsport competition events organized by a sanctioning body or motorcyclists’ garments, such as those commonly associated with off-road motocross and similar off-road disciplines, unless said off-road garments have installed impact protection.

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
11

---------------------- Page: 13 ----------------------
SIST EN 17092-1:2020
EN 17092-1:2020 (E)
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.

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

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.

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.
