CERTIFICATION EN17092
The CE regulation EN17092 is here to guarantee that you are riding with the appropriate amount of protection depending on your use. Whether you are crossing countries or commuting in the city.
In reality, it’s a long and complex process that all manufacturers have to go through in collaboration with independent testing laboratories that test :
-Impact Abrasion with a Darmstadt machine
-Traction resistance (ASTM-D 5034-95)
-Tear resistance UNE EN ISO 4674-1 : 2004)
-Burst resistance (13595-3)
-Seam tension (BS-3320)
5 levels of protection
Class C
For garments that include impact protectors but offer no abrasion resistance (armored motocross shorts, etc.).
Class B
For garments that offer abrasion resistance but offer no impact protection.
Class A
For garments that offer both impact protection and abrasion resistance with very good freedom of movement (light pants, leggings, etc.).
Class AA
For garments that offer a good level of impact protection and abrasion resistance, while still offering decent freedom of movement (jeans, jackets, etc.).
Class AAA
For garments that offer the highest level of protection but with the most movement restriction (leather suits, hard textile garment, etc.).
3 Zones
-Zone 1 : Knees and hips for pants and elbows and shoulders for jackets. Where the impact protectors are located. This zone will like take the highest amount of damage at impact in case of a fall.
-Zone 2 : Considered high risk zones like upper-thighs and buttocks.
-Zone 3 : Considered low risk zones such as calves and the inside of the legs.
Above the norm
En Bowtex® no solo alcanzamos el nivel de protección requerido por la normativa, lo superamos en todos los sentidos. El STANDARD R logra la certificación de nivel AA con resistencia a la abrasión de nivel AAA en áreas de alto riesgo.
