Limb joint protectors shall be provided with means of restraint capable of ensuring that the protector is maintained in position during use.
This requirement is not applicable for protectors to be inserted or incorporated into the garments.
Testing shall be carried out according to 6.4. 5.2 Innocuousness 5.2.1 The materials shall comply with the requirements for innocuousness of materials in EN 340, with the exception of the requirement concerning the colour fastness to perspiration which is replaced by 5.2.2.
5.2.2 The colour fastness to water of the constituent materials which could be likely to come into contact with the skin of the user shall be determined in accordance with 6.2 and shall be at least grade 4 of the Grey scale for the staining of any component of the multi-fibre reference fabric. 5.3 Minimum dimensions of zone of protection Motorcyclist’s limb joint protectors shall provide a zone of protection with the minimum dimensions as specified in Table 1. Testing shall be carried out as described in 6.3.4. In Table 1, the zones of protection are defined by the three dimensions r1, r2 and l, as illustrated in Figure1: SIST EN 1621-1:2013

The degree of risk or hazards that a motorcyclist faces is closely linked to the type of riding and the nature of the accident. Level 1 performance is deemed as the minimum level required so that the protector provides useful protection in an accident and offers the protector with an optimum comfort level to suit all riding types. Where riders feel that their riding style exposes them to an increased accident risk, Level 2 has been provided, which offers increased performance. Level 2 may have an increased penalty for the weight and comfort. When impact protection is tested in accordance with 6.3.4.2 (ambient impact test), 6.3.4.3 (wet impact test after hydrolytic ageing) and, if required, 6.3.4.4 (high temperature impact test) and/or 6.3.4.5 (low temperature impact test), the transmitted force shall conform to the values in Table 2. Level 1 or Level 2 can only be awarded provided that such level is achieved under all test conditions claimed.
