UNE-CEN/TS 17342:2024

This document specifies requirements for the impact performance of systems designed for the reductionof impact severity for PTW riders impacting safety barriers whilst sliding along the ground, having fallenfrom their PTW vehicle. The protection systems concerned are those fitted to barriers or barriers thathave an inherent PTW rider protection or risk reduction capability. This document excludes theassessment of the vehicle restraint capabilities of barriers and the risk that they represent to theoccupants of impacting cars. The assessment of barrier performance with respect to impacting vehiclesis 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.
