Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/patents).

This document was prepared by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) Technical
Committee CEN/TC 162, Protective clothing including hand and arm protection and lifejackets, in
collaboration with ISO Technical Committee TC 94, Personal safety — Personal protective equipment,
Subcommittee SC 13, Protective clothing, in accordance with the agreement on technical cooperation
between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement).
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 11393-2:1999), which has been technically
revised. The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:

— in Clause 4, subclauses have been added, PPE for users of left-handed chainsaws has been added,
the previous “design B” has been deleted, a new “design B” has been added to describe chaps, the
definition for trousers has been specified and a definition valid for chaps has been added;
— in Clause 5, the definition has been specified;
— in Clause 6, the clause has been completely revised, pre-treatment regulation for testing has been
changed; the definitions in 6.2, 6.3, 6.5 and 6.7 have been specified, a definition valid for chaps has
been added, cuts of the smallest and largest sizes have been added, measuring of chaps has been
added, a test method ergonomic testing has been added;

Introduction
This document forms part of a series concerned with personal protective equipment (PPE) designed
to protect against the risks arising from the use of hand-held chainsaws primarily constructed for
cutting wood.
No PPE can ensure a 100 % protection against cutting from a hand-held chainsaw. Nevertheless,
experience has shown that it is possible to design PPE that offers a certain degree of protection.
Different functional principles may be applied in order to give protection. These include:
a) chain slipping: on contact the chain does not cut the material;
b) clogging: fibres are drawn by the chain into the drive sprocket and block chain movement;
c) chain braking: fibres have a high resistance to cutting and absorb rotational energy, thereby
reducing the chain speed.
Often more than one principle is applied.

3.3
chaps
leg protectors (3.11) that cover the front of a leg and fasten around the waist and the back of the leg
3.4
crotch
point between the legs where the two side seams (3.17), which run up the inside of each leg, meet
Note 1 to entry: In cases where the side seams do not lie along the edge of the trousers when they are flattened
out, the theoretical crotch point effectively becomes the point where the two edges of the trousers converge.
3.5
cut-through
any visible change on the underside of the innermost layer of the test sample caused by the saw chain
3.6
damage
condition where some yarns of the protective fabric lose their position in the structure
due to a broken ladder during the pre-treatment (3.12) cycle
Note 1 to entry: The broken ladder is often caused by a broken knitting yarn.
3.7
fly
fastening in the front (3.8) of a pair of trousers
3.8
front
forward 50 % of the leg circumference
3.9
joins
place or line where two or more parts of the protective insert (3.14) are connected or fastened together,
e.g. by seams (3.17) or zippers
3.10
leggings
seat-less trousers
3.11
leg protectors
any type of protective garment that protects at least the specified protective area (3.18) to a specified
level of resistance for the leg
3.12
pre-treatment
standard way of preparing the samples before testing
Note 1 to entry: This might include a number of cleaning cycles, submitting the sample to heat, mechanical action
or any other relevant exposure, and is finished by conditioning.
3.13
protective coverage
area of the garment that is covered by protective material (3.15)
3.14
protective insert
fabric, usually placed between the outer fabric and the lining of a garment, that is able to stop the chain
by clogging, braking or repelling the chain
