Overview
EN ISO 11393-5:2019 (adoption of ISO 11393-5:2018) specifies performance requirements and test methods for protective gaiters used with hand-held chainsaws. The standard focuses on assessing cut resistance of gaiter materials and assemblies when struck by chainsaw chains, plus secondary properties such as fastener performance, twisting resistance and the strength of underfoot (attachment) straps. It applies to gaiters intended to be used only with a defined model of safety footwear (steel toecap conforming to ISO 20345, design C or D) and tested together. The document does not cover gaiters intended for high tripping-risk activities (e.g., tree climbing).
Key topics and requirements
- Cut resistance and classification - Requirements and test methods to evaluate how gaiter materials resist cutting action from hand‑held chainsaws; includes classification according to chain speed.
- Test methods - Procedures for preparing samples and performing chainsaw resistance tests, ergonomic assessments, twisting resistance and attachment strength tests.
- Attachment system and underfoot straps - Performance and test method for the strength of straps and fasteners that secure gaiters to footwear.
- Ergonomics and innocuousness - Requirements to limit user impediment, ensure comfort and avoid hazards from materials or design.
- Specified protective area - Definition of the area of the lower leg that must provide protection.
- Marking, pictogram and manufacturer information - Required labeling and documentation to support correct use and conformity.
- Conformity and legal alignment - Harmonised with EU requirements for PPE and referenced in relation to Regulation (EU) 2016/425 when cited in the Official Journal.

SIST EN ISO 11393-5:2019 표준은 사다리 작업이나 숲에서의 사용처럼 넘어질 위험이 큰 상황에서는 적용되지 않음을 명확히 하여, 사용자가 최적의 보호를 받을 수 있도록 하고 있습니다. 이러한 세부사항들은 이 표준이 단순한 가이드라인이 아닌, 실제 위험 환경에서 사용될 수 있도록 설계되었다는 점에서 큰 의미를 갖습니다. 결과적으로, 이 표준은 핸드 헬드 체인톱 사용자에게 필수적인 안전성을 제공하고, 관련 장비들 간의 적절한 호환성을 보장하는 데 중점을 두고 있어, 관련 산업에서 그 중요성이 강조되고 있습니다.
The SIST EN ISO 11393-5:2019 standard provides crucial specifications and test methods that assess the performance of protective gaiters intended for users of hand-held chainsaws. Its primary scope, focusing on the resistance to cutting by chainsaws, establishes a benchmark for safety in environments where these tools are utilized. One of the key strengths of this standard is its comprehensive assessment of gaiters in relation to their use with safety footwear that conforms to ISO 20345 design "C" or "D". This integration ensures that the gaiters are not only compliant with cutting resistance requirements but also compatible with the protective features of steel toecap footwear. This cohesive approach enhances user safety by mandating that gaiters and suitable footwear be tested together, thus reinforcing protection against potential injuries. Additionally, the standard provides clear test methods for evaluating the strength of underfoot straps on the gaiters, which is critical for ensuring a secure and reliable fit during use. This aspect addresses another vital safety component, as gaiters must remain in place during operation to effectively protect the wearer from chainsaw injuries. The relevance of SIST EN ISO 11393-5:2019 is underscored by its intended application; while the standard specifies conditions for gaiters, including their association with defined models of orthopaedic footwear, it also appropriately limits the scope by excluding gaiters for use in high-risk tripping situations, such as tree climbing or forest work. This focus ensures that the practical application of the gaiters aligns with safe practices, directing attention to environments where chainsaw usage is prevalent. In summary, the SIST EN ISO 11393-5:2019 standard is a vital document that upholds necessary performance requirements and test methods for protective gaiters, ensuring that users can operate hand-held chainsaws with enhanced safety and reduced risk of injury.
La norme SIST EN ISO 11393-5:2019 offre un cadre solide pour l'évaluation de la résistance à la coupe des guêtres destinées aux utilisateurs de tronçonneuses portatives. Cette norme se distingue par son approche systématique, spécifiant non seulement les exigences relatives à la performance, mais également les méthodes de test nécessaires pour garantir que les guêtres offrent une protection adéquate lors de l'utilisation de tronçonneuses. Parmi les forces de cette norme, on souligne la clarté des exigences concernant la résistance à la coupe.

Ein herausragendes Merkmal des Standards ist die klare Definition der Prüfvorgänge, die gewährleisten, dass die Gamaschen strengen Sicherheitsanforderungen genügen. Die Festlegung von Prüfmethoden zur Bewertung der Stärke der Unterfußriemen ist ein weiterer wichtiger Aspekt, der zur Gesamtsicherheit der Träger beiträgt. Diese Spezifikationen sind besonders relevant, da sie sicherstellen, dass die Gamaschen in Kombination mit sicherem Schuhwerk, das den Standards ISO 20345 entspricht, getestet werden. Diese Integration verstärkt den Schutz der Benutzer erheblich. Darüber hinaus wird im Dokument klargestellt, dass die Gamaschen speziell für den Einsatz mit einem definierten Modell von Fußschutz konzipiert sind. Dies erhöht die Präzision der Tests und gibt den Herstellern und Nutzern eine klare Anleitung beim Kauf und Gebrauch von derartigen Produkten. Gleichzeitig wird betont, dass die Gamaschen nicht für Anwendungen in Risikoszenarien wie Baumklettern oder im Wald bestimmt sind, was die Benutzer vor potenziellen Gefahren schützt. Die Relevanz des Standards SIST EN ISO 11393-5:2019 liegt in der Absicherung der Sicherheit der Anwender von handgeführten Kettensägen. In einer Branche, in der Sicherheit an oberster Stelle steht, bietet dieser Standard eine notwendige Basis für den Schutz und das Vertrauen in die tragenden Ausrüstungen. Alles in allem stellt dieser Standard ein unverzichtbares Werkzeug für die Sicherheit von Fachkräften dar, die Kettensägen bedienen.
