1 Scope This European Standard specifies the general requirements for the ergonomics, innocuousness, sizing, coverage, performance, and cleaning of association football players' shin guards. Test methods are described and performance levels are defined. Requirements for the marking of shin guards and the information to be supplied with them are given. 2 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this European Standard, the following terms and definitions apply. 2.1 contusion or bruise injury usually caused by a blunt impact in which the skin is not broken. Underlying soft tissue is damaged by compression and by shearing forces. Fine blood vessels are damaged leading to bleeding, discoloration and swelling 2.2 laceration irregular torn injury through the skin 2.3 puncture wound in which a penetrating object makes a discrete hole through the skin which more or less closes after withdrawal of the object 2.4 association football game of football in which the ball is not picked up or carried by field players, and in which the rules for tackling should limit the severity of body blows 2.5 internal ridges raised area of the shell material which is directed towards the user's leg. A ridge is a linear feature that has a top width of less than 5 mm or an area feature with a top area of less than 25 mm2 3 Requirements 3.1 General, including innocuousness Shin guards for association football players shall meet a general requirement that they are safe to use and fit for their purpose, and the following specific requirements: Construction materials or their derivates shall not harm those coming into contact with them. NOTE Information on the identification and classification of such substances can be found in the Directive 67/548/EEC (classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances) [1] as well as in the Regulation (EC) no.1907/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals (REACH) [2]. The manufacturer shall list in the information supplied by the manufacturer the substances used for the main components of the product.
If there are ridges that can be felt with the fingers on the inside of the shin guard, they shall be tested according to 4.4.2.
If there are ridges higher than 1 mm on the outer surface of the shin guard, they shall be tested according to 4.4.3. The shin guard does only perform this requirement, if the end points of the arc of the appropriate gauge touch the surface of the shin guard at all positions tested as described in 4.4.3.2 and in all orientations of the gauge. 3.2 Ergonomics Shin guards for association football players shall be so designed that in the foreseeable conditions of use for which they are intended the user can perform the typical playing movements, e.g. running, jumping, flexing the foot, without being hindered. If restriction or severe discomfort is reported, the product fails. Test method, see 4.5. 3.3 Sizing Shin guards for association football players shall be marked with their size. The size marking shall be the range of body height of players that the shin guard is designed to fit. 3.4 Restraint Shin guards for association football players shall be designed so that they should remain in place during normal play and during impacts. The restraint system recommended by the manufacturer or his authorised representative established in the community shall be tested in accordance with 4.6. On release of the force, the displacement of the shin guard from its in
