Abstract

Four new tests have been developed for determining the strength and abrasion resistance of motorcycle riders' clothing. These have been validated in dummy tests in a simulated accident, and by performing the tests on crash-damaged clothing. These tests, and others, have been combined in a test schedule for new clothing. The use of these tests and associated limit values and specifications are described.
