What does EN 17092 cover?
EN 17092 is the European standard for motorcycle garments. EN 17092 has five classes: AAA, AA, A, B and C; AAA is the highest. It is separate from EN 1621-1, which covers the removable armour. Check the label of a specific garment, because a replica design does not by itself show a class.
