EN 13595-2 Protective Clothing for Professional Motorcycle Riders - Test Method for Determination of Impact Abrasion Resistance

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, offers precise and rapid testing services within the scope of EN 13595-2 testing. This European Standard specifies performance requirements for jackets, trousers, one-piece or two-piece suits aimed at protecting professional motorcyclists against mechanical injuries on metal road surfaces. A professional driver is a person who contracts to provide or perform services that require riding a motorcycle for reward.

EN 13595-2 Protective Clothing for Professional Motorcycle Riders - Test Method for Determination of Impact Abrasion Resistance

The only protection a motorcyclist involved in a traffic accident has against injury is the clothing he was wearing at the time. Motorcyclist clothing is often worn as an extension of regular clothing and provides protection against environmental conditions such as wind, water and cold, but should also provide some protection against injury in the event of an accident. It is intended not to prevent a driver from controlling his machine. It must have an appearance acceptable to the user.

This European Standard relates primarily to the protection provided by clothing against injury in accidents. The hazards to which motorcyclists are exposed vary greatly depending on the physical environment, such as the nature of the road or mountain slope, the climatic environment, the traffic environment, the speed at which the motorcycle is driven, and the skill of the rider.

The number of combinations of possible hazards is enormous. Total clothing performance against each identified hazard may be required for each combination. This would be too complicated to implement. This standard therefore contains requirements for single properties of single articles of clothing or simple combinations of clothing.

A test sample is dropped from a certain height onto an abrasive belt moving at a constant speed over a fixed horizontal surface. The time it takes for the sample to completely corrode is measured by determining the time difference between the breaking of two electrical wires, one passing through the outer and the other inner surface of the sample.
