TSG safety gear – tested and certified

Trust is good but control is better! This slogan is even more apt when dealing with protective clothing which is meant to prevent injuries from falling. From the very beginning, safety gear specialist, TSG has focused on using premium materials, the best manufacturing techniques and designs that support and allow unrestrictive movement during use. The top priority for TSG is making sure that the customer has belief in their product’s performance. Now this performance is officially confirmed by an authorized laboratory which has tested all TSG protective clothing products and certified their protective performance. What is already a standard for helmets doesn't yet apply to safety pads. Even though it is only tested and certified products that, by law, should be sold there are tons of uncertified knee and elbow pads being offered in the market. TSG is one of the few brands of protective gear that have invested in the safety of their customers by having officially tested all skate, bike and snowboard pads, protective pants and back protectors. Each TSG protective product meets European Community directives for personal protective clothing and is in full compliance with directive 89 / 686 /CEE. All skate knee and elbow pads comply with EN 14120 safety standards. All bike knee, shin, elbow, ankle and hip protectors comply with Critt 0501 safety protocol in accordance to EN 1621. All TSG back protectors meet the EN 1621-2 safety standard providing protection against mechanical impact. Whether a product is tested or not isnt quite easy to identify in retail. Generally all certified products should come with an inner label indicating information on test standards, product name and article number as well as the range of use and the protected body area. The product should also be accompanied by an owner’s manual book explaining the test results. www.ridetsg.com
