Annex ZA (informative) Clauses of this European Standard
                       addressing essential requirements or other
                       provisions of EU Directives

This European Standard specifies the test methods to be used to assess the resistance of gaiters to cutting by hand-held chain 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 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 requirements associated with the test methods in this European Standard are given in EN 381-9.
