EU Declarations of Conformity can be viewed and downloaded from: www.planet-knox.com/ce

The Standard EN 17092 defines 5 different levels of protection which are tested according to the class of protection they offer. The different classes are listed below.

EN 17092 -2 Class AAA garments.

These garments give more protection but may have limiting ergonomic, weight, and thermal penalties for some riding activities. Some common examples are one and two-piece suits.

EN 17092 -3 Class AA garments.

These garments generally offer protection against the risks of the greatest diversity of riding activities and they may have lower ergonomic and weight penalties than Class AAA garments. Some common examples are garments designed to be worn by themselves or to be worn over other clothing.

EN 17092 -4 Class A garments.

These garments offer a minimum necessary degree of protection from impact and abrasion using materials and construction that meet lower requirements than for parts 2 and 3 of this standard series. Class A garments are expected to have the least ergonomic and weight penalties. Some common examples are garments designed to be worn by themselves or to be worn over other clothing by riders in warm environments.

EN 17092 -5 Class B garments.

This class is for specialized garments designed to provide the equivalent abrasion protection of Class A garments but without the inclusion of impact protectors. Class B garments do not offer impact protection and it is recommended that they be worn with at least EN 1621-1 shoulder and elbow impact protectors in the case of a jacket or EN 1621-1 knee impact protectors in the case of trousers in order to offer complete minimum protection.

Some common examples are modular garments suitable to be combined with other garments providing impact protection.

EN 17092 -6 Class C garments.

This class is for specialized non-shell impact protector ensemble garments designed only to hold one or more impact protectors in place either as an undergarment or as an overgarment. Class C garments are designed to provide impact protection for areas covered by the impact protector(s) only and they do not offer complete minimum abrasion protection and may not offer complete minimum impact protection.

Class C garments are designed to offer supplemental impact protection only. It is intended that Class C garments be worn in combination with Class AAA, AA, A, or B garments to enhance the protection Class AAA, AA, A, or B garments offer.

Some common examples are modular garments suitable to be combined with other garments providing impact and abrasion protection or only abrasion protection.

WARNING: The degree of risk or hazard that a motorcyclist will face is closely linked to the type of riding and the nature of the accident. Riders are cautioned to carefully choose motorcyclists’ protective garments that match their riding activity and risks. Other garments or garment combinations certified according to the EN 17092 series of standards may provide more appropriate protection than this garment but there may be weight or ergonomic (e.g. range of motion restrictions) or heat stress penalties associated with their use that may be less appropriate for some riders activities.

Do not use this garment if impact protectors have been removed. No PPE or combination of PPE can offer full protection against injury.

ADJUSTMENT:

Knox armoured shirts and jackets are intended to be close fitting garments ideally worn over a t-shirt or appropriate base layer. Once the garment is on, close the central zipper and push thumbs through the thumb loops or alternatively ensure the cuff restraint is securely fastened so that the sleeves do not slide up the arms. Please ensure the protectors are correctly located over the elbows, shoulders, and back.
