BS PD CEN/TS 17342:2019

This document specifies requirements for the impact performance of systems designed for the reduction of impact severity for PTW riders impacting safety barriers whilst sliding along the ground, having fallen from their PTW vehicle. The protection systems concerned are those fitted to barriers or barriers that have an inherent PTW rider protection or risk reduction capability. This document excludes the assessment of the vehicle restraint capabilities of barriers and the risk that they represent to the occupants of impacting cars. The assessment of barrier performance with respect to impacting vehicles is covered by EN 1317-1 and EN 1317-2.

This document defines performance classes taking into account rider speed classes, impact severity andthe working width of the system with respect to rider impacts.

For systems designed to be added to a standard barrier, the test results are valid only when the systemis fitted to the model of barrier used in the tests since the performance will not necessarily be the same ifthe system is fitted to a different barrier.Cross References:EN 1621-1ISO 6487EN 1317-2UNE 135900-2UNE 135900-1EN 1317-1EN 1317-7SAE J1733SAE J1727SAE J211-1EN 1317-3ISO 13232 (all parts)EN ISO 4762EN 1317-5
