2.3. Protective performance of the WORK AIR DL001 T U protective device
The System to which this Informative Note refers must be considered Class 2 Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE) as it has been designed and produced to provide limited
protection against the risks of mechanical impact in the event of a fall with impact as
described in Chapter 3.4. For the performance levels achieved by the WORK AIR DL001 T
U Personal Protective Equipment refer to Table 1.

In particular the WORK AIR DL001 T U protective device:
• When triggered covers with an airbag the chest area (DC-Divided Chest), divided chest
protector and the central area of the back (CB - Central Back), central protector covering
only the central area of the back, this type of protector does not offer protection in the
shoulder blade area.
• Gives a “stealth” protection: comfort and ergonomics. This stealth protection is
imperceptible and is triggered when required, offering a high level of comfort and safety.
Protective performance is correlated to choosing the correct size of WORK AIR DL001 T U,
following the guidelines provided in Chapter 2.5.
