Standards and labels

• EN 13594:2015

  EN 13594:2015 is a European standard for testing and classification of fire resistance of smoke control systems. It sets out the requirements for test methods, performance criteria, and classification of fire resistance for smoke control systems such as smoke exhaust ducts, smoke dampers, and smoke control valves. The standard also includes requirements for test reports and the marking of products that have been tested and classified in accordance with the standard. The possible test results of EN 13594:2015 can range from non-compliant to Class A, B, C, D, E, F and G.

  Test results

  Impact Properties P

  The EN 13594:2015 standard defines performance requirements for protective gloves for motorcycle riders, including testing for impact protection. Specifically, when a test result for 'Impact Properties' under this standard is denoted with a P, it signifies that the product, usually a protective glove, has passed the specified impact protection tests. This particular test examines a product's ability to dissipate energy or resist damage when subjected to impact forces, ensuring that the gloves will provide adequate protection to the wearer in the event of a crash or collision. During this test, a defined force is applied to different areas of the glove, usually using an impact test machine outfitted with a specified striker and anvil. The gloves are assessed based on their ability to absorb and redistribute the energy without transferring excessive force to the hand or failing structurally. A passing result indicates that the gloves meet the stringent requirements for impact resistance set by the European Standard, thereby providing adequate protection in high-risk motorcycle riding scenarios and reflecting a higher level of performance in safety gear for riders.
