 TECHNOLOGIES www.ginzinger.at MINIMUM AREA (PROTECTIVE) ACCORDING TO THE EN 1621.1 AND 1621.2 STANDARD For shoulder, elbow and knee protectors, this is defined by the pear-shaped profiles which have fixed dimensions (regardless of the individual’s size). For back protectors, the standard fixes a minimum area within which impact tests are performed during certification. The minimum area established by the standard is in the shape of a cross, the dimensions of which are proportional to the waist- shoulder height. ARTICLES CERTIFIED AS PERSONAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT AS PER EN 13595 STANDARD ANTI-SHOCK STRUCTURE ERGONOMIC PROTECTORS The pursuit of excellence in mechanical performance and comfort has led to the development of a rigid external shell with corrugation and perforation that distributes over a wider area the force generated by impact while ensuring light weight and breathability at the same time. Active safety also means preventing accidents: the study of ergonomics underlies all Dainese® protectors developed to follow the lines of the human body in order to ensure the greatest freedom of movement and increase comfort for the greatest concentration of attention on riding. One example is provided by the back protector developed with a sectional structure in order to permit both the total backward and forward bending of the trunk and lateral flexure thanks to the lumbar joint. - 445 - Certified safety: in further confirmation of the safety of its products, the results of incomparable experience on racetracks the world over with collaboration from the greatest motorcycle racing champions, Dainese certifies the most significant models in its collection to EN 13595 Standards for protective apparel for professional motorcycle riders that prescribe strict tests for the measurement of resistance to abrasion, impact, bursting strength, and tearing caused by impact, and the presence of protectors homologated to EN 1621.1. - 446 -
