This equipment is designed to protect people working on their knees.

4 types of protection :

Type 1: Knee protectors that are independent of any clothing and are fixed around the leg.
Type 2: Plastic foam inserted in pockets on the pant legs.
Type 3: Equipment that is not attached to the body but is put in place when the user moves. They can be provided for each knee or for both knees together.
Types 4: Accessories with additional functions, such as a frame to help you stand or kneel.

3 levels of protection

Level 0: no protection against penetration.
Level 1: suitable for flat and non-flat surfaces + protection against the penetration of objects < 1 cm. Resistance to penetration of a point under the action of a force of 100 N.
Level 3: suitable for flat and non-flat surfaces in difficult conditions. Protection against the penetration of objects over 1 cm. Example: work in mines and quarries. Resistance to penetration of a point under the action of a force of at least 250 N.

The EN 14404 standard tests a knee pocket / knee pad assembly.

It specifies the performance of this set. The performances indicated on the garment are therefore only valid if the correct knee brace is used.
