DIN EN 14404:2004 + A1:2010 DEFINES 4 TYPES AND 3 PERFORMANCE LEVELS OF KNEE PROTECTORS

Types

Type 1: Kneepad independent of other clothing which is fastened to the knee.
Type 2: Kneepad which is e.g. attached in pockets in the trouser leg.
Type 3: Equipment which is not attached to the body.
Type 4: Kneepad which is part of equipment with additional functions such as a frame as support when standing up.

Performance levels

There are 3 different performance levels:

Stage 0 is knee protection suitable for flat surfaces and does not offer any protection against puncturing.

Stage 1 is knee protection suitable for either flat or uneven surfaces. This offers protection against puncturing to a power of (100± 5) N.

Stage 2 is knee protection suitable for either flat or uneven surfaces in difficult conditions, offering protection against puncturing up to a power of (250± 10) N.

Attaching the kneepad

The kneepad is attached to the knee using hook and loop fasteners so that the kneeling area is covered. The top edge of the kneepad should protrude past the bent knee by 2cm.

The kneepad can be worn over clothes or be attached directly over skin.

Attention!

Ensure the hook and loop fasteners are not too tight. Do not allow the hook and loop fasteners to cross the hollow of the knee. This could impair blood circulation.

Suitable for persons with a waist measurement up to 100cm! Finally, check that the kneepad is comfortably positioned and sufficiently tightened for the work to be carried out.

Maintenance and care

General

Inspect the kneepads for damage prior to every use. If the kneepads are damaged, for example torn, broken or parts are partially loosened, they are no longer usable and should not be worn. Do not tamper with this product, as the protective properties can no longer be guaranteed. Severe soiling, alterations or improper use may impair the performance of these knee protectors in a hazardous way.

The kneepads mainly consist of PVC, polyester, SBR and PE foam.

Cleaning

Rough dirt can be removed from your kneepads by brushing. Stubborn dirt can be removed by hand washing in lukewarm water or with a neutral detergent solution. Rinse with clean water. Never wash the kneepads with solvent-based or harsh cleaning agents. Never machine wash, tumble dry or iron.

Storage and transport

This article should not be exposed to direct sunlight or raised temperatures whilst in storage or when being transported. Do not place heavy loads upon the article. This could cause cracking or decomposition, something which can drastically shorten the protector's life span and limit its usability. Only knee pads in perfect condition can offer protection concurrent with the purpose for which they are intended.

Disposal

Dispose of the article and the packaging materials in accordance with current local regulations. Packaging materials such as foil bags are not suitable to be given to children. Keep the packaging materials out of the reach of children.
