EN 13634:2010 (E) 4 Foreword This document (EN 13634:2010) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 161 “Foot and leg protectors”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by June 2011, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by June 2011. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. This document supersedes EN 13634:2002. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s). For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document. This document is a revision of EN 13634:2002, which was prepared by CEN/TC162.
Annex A is normative. Annex B is informative. The following significant technical changes have been introduced in comparison with the former edition
EN 13634:2002: a) The title and scope have been modified; the scope is not any more limited to professional motorcycle riders; b) Two distinct performance levels have been introduced; c) Definitions for protective layer and professional rider were deleted; d) Minimum number of samples and test specimens and their origin specified; e) Height of upper specified depending on the footwear size; f) Design requirements for seams specified more precisely in Figure 1; g) Basic requirements for insoles and insocks specified in more detail; h) Requirement added for CrVI content of leather in upper and lining; i) Abrasion resistance requirement modified for upper, linings and insoles and insocks; j) Impact zones and material areas for upper resistance to impact cut specified; k) Requirement and test method for impact cut resistance modified; l) Optional requirement for slip resistance of outsole included; m) Optional requirement for permeable uppers included; n) Marking requirements modified; SIST EN 13634:2011

EN 13634:2010 (E) 6 Introduction Motorcyclists’ footwear is intended to give a degree of mechanical protection to the foot and ankle in accidents without significantly reducing the ability of the rider to control the motorcycle and operate the foot controls. The particular hazards in motorcycle accidents are abrasion with the road surface plus impacts with the motorcycle, conflicting vehicles, road furniture and road surfaces. Road surface injuries are worse when the foot is trapped under the motorcycle during sliding impacts. The standard sets out a number of basic requirements considered essential for this type of footwear including a number of ergonomic requirements. For a number of tests, this European standard includes two performance levels in terms of the protection afforded. The degree of risk or hazard that a motorcyclist will face is closely linked to the type of riding and the nature of the accident. Within standard EN 13634:2010 ‘Level 1’ performance is deemed as the minimum level required so that the footwear provides useful protection in an accident, and offers footwear with an optimum comfort level to suit all riding types. Where riders feel that their riding style or sport exposes them to an increased accident risk ‘Level 2’ has been provided, which offers increased performance  however it is likely that this additional level of protection has an increased penalty for the weight and comfort so may not be acceptable to all riders. SIST EN 13634:2011



EN 13634:2010 (E) 7 1 Scope This European Standard applies to protective footwear for motorcycle riders for use while riding motorcycles for on or off road activities.
