EN 381 is the European standard for protective equipment for users of hand held chainsaws. The standard provides requirements for different types of protective clothing as follows:
EN 381-5: Requirements for leg protectors
EN 381-7: Requirements for protective gloves
EN 381-9: Requirements for protective gaiters
EN 381-11: Requirements for upper body protectors
There are four levels of protection within EN 381. These correspond to the speed of the chainsaw in metres per second.
Class 0: 16 m/s
Class 1: 20 m/s
Class 2: 24 m/s
Class 3: 28 m/s
Leg protectors use special fibres that clog the cutting mechanism of a chainsaw and stop the movement. There are three types of leg protection, type A, B, and C.
Type A and B
Leg protectors provide protection at the front of the legs only and are intended for professional forestry workers.
Type C
Leg protectors have protective fibres around the circumference of the legs and are intended for non professional use.
