  Description:

Protective clothing for users of hand-held chain saws Part 8: Test methods for chain saw protective gaiters

  Purpose

This European Standard specifies the test methods to be used to assess the resistance of gaiters to cutting by hand-held chain saws. A test method of assessing the strength of underfoot straps of gaiters is also included. This European Standard is applicable to gaiters used together with safety footwear according to EN 345:1992 and EN 345:1992/A1 with a metallic toecap, because gaiters offer only partial protection against chain saw cutting. Gaiters according to this European Standard are not intended for use in situations where there is a significant risk of tripping such as tree climbing or in forests. The requirements associated with the test methods in this European Standard are given in EN 381-9.
