EN 13634:2002 (E)4IntroductionMotorcyclists’ footwear is intended to give protection against ambient conditions without unduly impairing the user’sdexterity in controlling the motorcycle and operating the foot controls. In addition, the footwear is intended to give adegree of mechanical protection to the foot and ankle in accidents. The particular hazards in motorcycle accidentsare impacts with the motorcycle, conflicting vehicles and road furniture and with road surfaces. Road surfaceinjuries are worse when the foot is trapped under the motorcycle during sliding impacts. The standard sets out anumber of basic requirements considered being essential for this type of footwear including a number of ergonomicrequirements.1 ScopeThis European Standard applies to protective footwear for professional motorcycle riders for use while ridingmotorcycles for on or off road activities. It specifies the requirements for protection, ergonomic characteristics,innocuousness, mechanical properties, cleaning, marking and information for users. It also describes theappropriate test methods.2 Normative referencesThis European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. Thesenormative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text, and the publications are listed hereafter. For adated reference, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any these publications apply to this EuropeanStandard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references, the latest edition of thepublication referred to applies (including amendments).EN 344:1992, Requirements and test methods for safety protective and occupational footwear for professional use.EN 388:1994, Protective gloves against mechanical risks.EN 1621-1, Motorcyclists’ protective clothing against mechanical impact - Part 1: Requirements and test methodsfor impact protectors.prEN 13595-2, Protective clothing for professional motorcycle riders — Jackets, trousers and one-piece or dividedsuits — Part 2: Determination of impact abrasion resistance.ISO 4045, Leather-Determination of pH.ISO 4649, Rubber - Determination of abrasion resistance using a rotating cylindrical drum device.ISO 5423:1992, Moulded plastics footwear — Lined or unlined polyurethane boots for general industrial use —Specification.ISO 11642, Leather — Tests for colour fastness — Colour fastness to water.3 Terms and definitionsFor the purposes of this European Standard, the following terms and definitions apply:3.1zone of specific protection (zone of protection)area of footwear that is intended to provide additional specific protection, and is subject to specific testingSIST EN 13634:2002
