Amin is the chest girth or bust girth given by the manufacturer for the smallest user. Bmax is the waist girth given by the manufacturer for the largest user. Bmin is the waist girth given by the manufacturer for the smallest user. Cmax is the over-the-shoulder length given by the manufacturer for the largest user. Cmin is the over-the-shoulder length given by the manufacturer for the smallest user. AImax is the maximum internal girth of the garment below the armholes. AImin is the minimum internal girth of the garment below the armholes. BImax is the maximum internal girth of the garment at the lower edge of the protective
material. BImin is the minimum internal girth of the garment at the lower edge of the protective
material. D and DI are vertical lines on the chest separated by a distance of 25 % of A. E and EI are vertical lines on the back separated by a distance of 25 % of A. F is the centre back length. G is the height of the side below the armhole. SIST EN 13158:2009

the armhole opening. J is the width across the chest between the armholes measured at a level half-way down
the armhole opening. K is the width of the back at a distance equal to 50 % of dimension C max from the neck
inlet. L is the circumference of the armhole. M is the distance below the centre of the back of the neck of the garment at which dimension K is measured. (M = 0,5 Cmax). N is the smallest width of the shoulder strap.
4.2.4 Exceptions to the requirements in 4.2.3 The exceptions listed in (a) to (e) below are permitted. Examination and measurement of the exceptions shall be carried out according to 5.4. The areas and dimensions relate to a protective jacket or body protector to fit a person with a chest girth of 1 000 mm. Except where stated, the areas and dimensions shall be graded pro rata with the size of the protector:
1) linear dimension on a protector = length stated below × actual largest user’s chest girth in mm/1 000; 2) area on a protector = area stated below × (actual largest user’s chest girth in mm)2/1 000 000. Protective material is permitted to be reduced to 50 % of its normal thickness in specified areas providing all layers are the same material. If the layers are of unequal thickness and the "50 % thickness“ area is thinner than 45 % of the total, or the layers are of different construction or are of different composition, it shall be shown by impact testing that the "50 % thickness“ construction meets the impact requirements when two layers (100 % thickness) are tested together. a) Protective material over the top of the shoulder may be reduced to 50 % of its normal thickness in two areas on each shoulder permitting adjustment of the shoulder by overlapping 50 % thickness areas by varying amounts. The maximum length of each area along the waist to waist over-the-shoulder dimension line shall not exceed 35 mm at maximum opening and 50 % thickness material shall not be present more than the distance specified in Table 2 from the shoulder top line when measured as described in 5.4.1.2. At maximum opening of adjusters there shall be at least 25 mm of overlapping 50 % thickness protective material in the centre of the adjuster in all sizes of protector (not scaled). This is illustrated in Figure 3. SIST EN 13158:2009

At maximum opening of adjusters, there shall be at least 25 mm of overlapping 50 % thickness protective material in the centre of the adjuster in all sizes of protector. d) Protective material may be absent from torso areas of a protective jacket or body protector, that are overlaid by shoulder protectors provided that when an appropriate subject wears the jacket, or the body protector and shoulder protectors, no gaps in protection open up between the shoulder and body protectors SIST EN 13158:2009

Figure 5 — Shoulder protector 4.2.6 Adaptability and adjustability Protective jackets and body protectors for horse riders and those who work with horses, and for horse drivers and passengers, shall have a construction that permits adjustment of the fit around the torso. For protectors that are made for a range of users the range of adjustment or adaptation shall be not less than 5 % of dimension A; the chest girth of the largest user that the garment is designed and marked to fit (see 4.2.2) or 80 % of the difference between the chest girths of the largest and smallest users that the garment is designed and marked to fit, if this value is greater. For protectors that are made-to-measure for a particular user the range of adjustment or adaptation shall be not less than 5 % of the chest girth, dimension A (see 4.2.3). Testing shall be done according to 5.4.1.4 and 5.4.1.5. Protective jackets and body protectors shall have protective material meeting the impact performance requirements of 4.6 in the areas defined by the linear dimensions in 4.2.3, at all settings of all adjusters and closures present. The exceptions permitted (4.2.4) shall not be exceeded at any setting of an adjuster or closure. SIST EN 13158:2009

Figure 6 — Sizing pictograms 4.3 Movement of protective material blocks, and gaps between them Protective jackets, body protectors and shoulder protectors for horse riders and those who work with horses, and for horse drivers and passengers, shall be constructed throughout the protective area so that gaps between blocks of padding held in quilting or otherwise cannot be separated by 15 mm or more, when a force of 25 N is applied downwards between them as described in 5.5. 4.4 Restraint Protective jackets and body protectors for horse riders and those who work with horses, and for horse drivers and passengers, shall be provided with closures, such that the closure is not opened and no gap occurs at any point between protective material, when forces of 50 N are applied as described in 5.6 when the adjusters are maximally open. Body protectors shall be provided with restraining straps or other constructions such that the protector is not displaced by more than a distance equal to one tenth of dimension Amax as defined in 4.2.3 and scaled as in 4.2.4, when forces of 50 N are applied as described in 5.6.
