scope:
This European Standard specifies the test methods to be used to assess the resistance of gaiters to cutting by hand-held 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/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.
