" 4.6.3 Fencing clothing 4.6.3.1 General The specific zone of protection as well as the coverage provided by protective clothing for the trunk is determined by the particular discipline involved. It is also determined by whether the wearer is left or right handed. In all cases it is a requirement that each item of protective clothing shall be plainly marked with the particular fencing disciplines for which the clothing is suitable, as well as the ”handedness” for which it is intended (see clause 6). When the correct size of garment is worn the user should have certain areas of the body covered by protective material when making all normal fencing movements (see annex B): 4.6.3.2 Coverage by fencing jackets, breeches and underpants Jackets – From 30 mm above the neck line down to within 50 mm of the wrist, to the waist all round the torso, and in jackets for epee over the anterior surface of the abdomen (dimension D, Figure !4a"). Breeches – From at least 100 mm above the waist to at least 75 mm below the plane of the knee joint, all round the abdomen and thighs. Underpants – The anterior 50 % of the circumference of the abdomen and thighs from the waist to at least halfway down the thighs. 4.6.3.3 Dimensions of the zones of protection of fencing jackets, breeches and underpants The dimensions of the zones of protection shall be determined by the values given in the information supplied by the manufacturer for the relevant control dimensions of the largest user the garment is intended to fit. The dimensions of the zones of protection shall not be less than those defined by Table 2 and illustrated in Figure !4". SIST EN 13567:2002+A1:2007

This uncertainty (Um) shall be given in the test report in the form Um = ± X. It shall be used in determining whether a "Pass" performance has been achieved. If the final result minus Um is below the pass level when the requirement that a certain value shall be exceeded, the sample shall be deemed to have failed. 5.2 Products for testing Test items shall be supplied by manufacturers complete with labels and the information supplied by the manufacturer (see clause 7) that wil
