EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, offers precise and rapid testing services within the scope of EN 13595-4 testing. This European Standard specifies performance requirements for clothing materials and assembly methodology used in the manufacture of professional motorcycle rider jackets, trousers and one-piece and split suits intended to protect the wearer against mechanical injury on metal road surfaces. This European Standard specifies the appropriate test method for determining impact shear 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 specimen is mounted over a rectangular hole under a predefined tension. A constant-mass impactor, with a sharp blade attached to its lower surface, is dropped vertically onto the sample from a predetermined height over the center of the hole. The maximum penetration of the blade into the material is measured.
