EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN 1621-2 testing. This standard describes the characteristics and test methods of back protection equipment, which is one of the motorcyclists' protective clothing against mechanical impact.
This standard describes the minimum coverage to be provided by the back protectors that motorcyclists wear in normal traffic conditions. This standard contains details of the requirements and test methods for the performance of protective equipment under impact. It also describes requirements for sizing, ergonomic requirements, harmlessness, labeling, and information.
The EN 1621-2 standard is designed to cover motorcycle riders' back and waist protectors. It uses a similar design and testing methodology as in part one of the standard for testing limb protectors. However, the computational approach is different to better simulate the way ridge protectors work.
This standard has three different back protectors to promote the adoption of protection certified in various motorcycle and rider type disciplines: full back, mid-back and lower back (waist) protectors.
Two performance levels have been set for motorcyclists' back protectors: level 1 and level 2. To pass the standard, the maximum transmitted force must be below 18kN and not a single value above 24kN. The standard also includes optional impact tests to evaluate performance in temperature environments of 40 degrees high and minus 10 degrees low. It also includes some additional testing after storage under humid conditions.
