Australian motorcycle accessories distributor Ficeda has announced that the 2013 range of Berik motorcycle apparel is nearly here, and that most items in the range of race suits, two-piece suits and jackets comply with the PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) Directive 89/686 to meet or exceed the EN13595:2002 CE standard for protective clothing.
According to Ficeda’s General Manager, Matt Dowd, the certification gives buyers an independently assessed guarantee of a product’s safety. “To have nearly the entire collection CE certified to EN13595 is a great achievement,” he said. “Even more so, we are pleased to be able to offer CE certified products at all price points. Motorcyclists don't need to compromise on safety anymore because of incredibly high prices,” he added.
The gear that has been awarded the certification meets or exceeds various safety standards in regard to abrasion resistance, cut resistance, burst strength and chemical content.
Ficeda Accessories says the 2013 range of Berik clothing will be available shortly through all good motorcycle clothing stores.
