4.4 Minimum dimensions of zones of protection 4.4.1 General All protective equipment shall have a zone, or zones, of protection, the dimensions of which shall be related to the size of the largest user the equipment is intended to fit. The dimensions and positions of the zones of protection, relative to the coverage provided by the equipment, shall be given in the Information supplied by the manufacturer, (see clause 7). Methods for determining the dimensions of the zones of protection are described in clause 5. In principle, apart from hard genital protectors, the outer surfaces of the protectors are marked to show the areas in which blows directed towards the underlying skeletal structures will fall on particular constructions. These will be compared to the dimensions given below. The dimensions are those on the outer face of the product. When a product is bent around part of the body such as the lower leg, the thickness of the product has a significant effect on the fraction of the circumference of the limb protected. Values of transverse dimensions of such products require scaling if the thickness of the product is unusual. If the thickness of the product differs from the following by more than 15 %, scaling is necessary. The following thicknesses have been assumed:  Shin protectors - 15 mm,  Leg protectors - 50 mm,  Kickers - 40 mm (only relevant on toe to heel dimensions),  Thigh and hip protectors - 30 mm, elbow and forearm
protectors - 15 mm,  Shoulder and upper arm protectors - 20 mm,  Chest protectors, abdominal protectors and gloves do not require protective zone dimensions to be scaled for thickness. The dimensions of zones of protection shall be verified as described in 5.7. Areas outside zones 1, 2 or 3 do not have to meet impact or dimensional requirements and are designated zone 0. The zones, of the dimensions given below, will be subject to impact testing in accordance with 5.9 to establish compliance with the performance requirements. SIST EN 13546:2002+A1:2007
