CEN/TC 162 Protective clothing including hand and arm protection and lifejackets
European Norm
13.340.10 Protective clothing
This European Standard specifies requirements to be used to assess the resistance of gaiters to cutting by hand-held chain saws and other properties. A requirement for 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 test methods associated with the requirements in this European Standard are given in EN 381-8.
