LEVEL
The performance is based on the amount of impact transmission measured in kN (kilo Newton).
The EN 1621-2:2014 provides 2 Levels of protection: Level 1 and Level 2. According to EN 1621-
5
2:2014 : Level 1 protectors shall have an average peak force below 18kN and each single strike shall
not exceed 24kN Level 2 protectors shall have an average peak force below 9kN. and each single
strike shall not exceed 12kN.
The EN 1621-1 (shoulder, elbow, knee, hip, leg) standard provides 2 Levels of protection: Level 1
6
and Level 2. Level 1 protectors shall have an overall mean value below 35kN, each single strike shall
not exceed 35kN in the area I, and 50kN in the area II and III. Level 2 protectors shall have an overall
mean value below 20kN, each single strike shall not exceed 20kN in the area I, and 30kN in the area
II and III.
Level 2 protectors offer higher performance than Level 1 protectors.
Level 2 protectors offer the highest Level specified by the CE standard. Due to the extra Level of
protection Level 2 protectors may be heavier, thicker and less ergonomic than the Level 1 protectors.
It is up to the responsibility of the rider to choose the correct Level of protection according to their
needs, their experience, their performance and skills.
