1.1本规范涵盖了最低性能标准，并描述了在受控环境中用于马比赛的身体保护装置的测试方法。 笔记 1-人们认识到，不可能编写一个身体保护器性能标准，以使产品能够在事故中防止所有类型的伤害或死亡。 1.2本规范无意阻止考虑在制定本规范时未知的改进质量或性能的材料。 1.3以国际单位制表示的数值应视为标准值。本标准不包括其他计量单位。 1.4 本标准并非旨在解决与其使用相关的所有安全问题（如有）。本标准的用户有责任在使用前制定适当的安全和健康实践，并确定监管限制的适用性。

1.1 This specification covers minimum performance criteria and describes test methods for body protectors for use in equine racing in a controlled environment. Note 1—It is recognized that it is not possible to write a body protector performance standard that will result in products that can protect against all types of injury or death in an accident. 1.2 It is not the intention of this specification to bar from consideration materials of improved quality or performance not known at time of development of this specification. 1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard. 1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
