EN 344 will be renumbered into EN 344-1 further to their publication. 0 Introduction This European Standard forms part of a series concerned with personal protective equipment designed to protect against the risks arising f
23、rom the use of hand-held chain saws. No personal protective equipment can ensure 100 % protection against cutting from a hand-held chain saw. Nevertheless, experience has shown that it is possible to design personal protective equipment which offers a certain degree of protection. Different function
24、al principles may be applied in order to give protection. These include: chain slipping: on contact, the chain does not cut the material; clogging: fibres are drawn with the chain into the drive sprocket and block chain movement; chain braking: fibres have a high resistance to cutting and absorb rot
25、ational energy, thereby reducing the chain speed. Often more than one principle is applied. 1 Scope This Part of this European Standard specifies test methods to be used to assess the resistance of footwear to cutting by hand-held chain saws. Methods for other forms of foot and leg protection e.g. g
26、aiters against hand-held chain saws will be covered in other standards. This standard only covers footwear with integral protection. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates, by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications.

31、. 4 Test specimen For footwear with metallic toe-caps : Three pairs, size 42 (Paris points), size 8 (UK). For footwear with non-metallic toe-caps : Four pairs, size 42 (Paris points), size 8 (UK). 5 Checking of protective coverage 5.1 Apparatus Sizing body for laced footwear : A cylindrical conical
32、cylindrical body with total height minimum 500 mm and Ankle cylinder : height (76 1) mm : diameter (84 1) mm. Conical section : height (274 1) mm. Upper cylinder : height minimum 150 mm : diameter (110 1) mm. (See figure 1.) 5.2 Procedure Insert the sizing body for laced footwear into the leg of the
33、 footwear and tighten any fastenings (e.g. laces or straps) about it. Check that the coverage requirements given in prEN 190 and prEN 191 are fulfilled. 6 Testing of resistance to cutting 6.1 Apparatus 6.1.1 Test rig The test rig is described in EN 381-1 with additional elements to fulfil 6.2. 6.1.2
34、 Footwear mounting devices 6.1.2.1 Base A base for mounting the footwear, capable of holding the footwear in the required positions. The base may have holes (for bolts) or devices for fixing the footwear. Such devices shall not interfere with the chain saw protective material of the footwear.Page 4
35、EN 381-3 : 1996 BSI 1996 6.1.2.2 Artificial shinbone Artificial shinbone (see figure 2). Material: Hardwood or similar covered with a (14 2) mm thick layer of flexible cellular material of copolymer foam of ethylene vinyl acetate with specific density (50 2) kg/m 3 and a compression stress value at
36、40 % compression (CV 40) of (75 10) kPa as tested in accordance with ISO 3386-1 : 1986. Length at least 700 mm, circular cross section diameter (50 1) mm plus the thickness of the cellular material. 6.1.3 Material for filling footwear Dried peas of diameter approximately 7 mm. Bag containing (2 0,1)
37、 kg of lead shot or similar. 6.2 Test procedure 6.2.1 General Calibration procedures are as in EN 381-1. After calibration the following changes are introduced. a) The chain saw unit is arranged as in Part 1, but the load shall be 30 N 0,5 N instead of 15 N (5.3.5 in EN 381-1 : 1993). b) The horizon
38、tal distance from the point of contact to the centre of the sprocket shall be (300 2) mm (see figure 3 in EN 381-1 : 1993). Test cuts are performed on both right and left footwear at the positions shown in figure 3, i.e: on the left side of the vamp (position 1) at the throat (position 2) at the leg
39、 front (position 3) on the toecap (position 4) (footwear with non- metallic toe-caps) Where possible, avoid cutting into any fastenings which may be fitted to the footwear as this could lead to anomalous results. Should this not be possible, such cutting should be recorded in the test report. A tota
40、l of six cuts, or eight cuts for footwear with non-metallic toecaps, should be made for each complete test, with no more than one cut being made on any one sample. Test cuts according to this standard may be carried out with the following chain speeds: Class 0 : 16 m/s NOTE. Class 0 is valid until 1
41、999-12-31. Class 1 : 20 m/s Class 2 : 24 m/s Class 3 : 28 m/s After each test the specimen is checked for cut through and the result is reported. 6.2.2 Cuts on vamp area The footwear is first securely fixed to the base in such a way that: a) the sole of the footwear is in contact with the base in bo
42、th the heel and the forepart without changing the natural shape of the footwear; b) the test axis, as defined in EN 344 : 1992, 5.3.2.1, coincides with that of the base. The base is then tilted at 30 2 to the horizontal in such a manner that the right side of the footwear is lowermost and nearest th
43、e pivot of the test rig, and the test axis of the footwear is at an angle of 90 3 to the guide bar (see figure 4). Sufficient dried peas are poured into the footwear to completely fill the foot section and at least half of the leg. The peas are kept in place with the bag of lead shot described in 6.
44、1.3. Test cuts are performed in the positions indicated in figure 3, Position 1 (i.e. on the left side of the footwear (15 5) mm to the rear of the toecaps. 6.2.3 Cuts on throat area The footwear is securely fixed to the base as in 6.2.2. The base is then tilted 45 2 to the horizontal in such a mann
45、er that the heel of the footwear is lowermost, and the test axis of the footwear is vertical and at an angle of 90 3 to the guide bar of the test rig. The right side of the footwear shall be nearest to the pivot (see figure 5). Test cuts are performed in the position marked in figure 3, position 2.
46、6.2.4 Cuts on leg region If the leg of the footwear is fitted with any fastening devices (e.g. laces or straps), fasten these around sizing body for laced footwear (see 5.1). Remove sizing body for laced footwear from the footwear. If necessary cut away the heel and as little as possible of the quar
47、ter region of the footwear taking care not to damage nor interfere with any of the chain saw protective material. If the protective material is damaged or interfered with, report this. Mount the leg of the footwear over the artificial shinbone taking care that any damage caused to the footwear does
48、not interfere with the chain saw protective material. If such damage does occur, report this. Securely fasten the footwear to the artificial shinbone. The fastening should be on the left side of the footwear. An example of a suitable fastening system is shown in figure 6, but alternative systems are
49、 also allowed. A line loading of (50 1) N/m shall be applied. The artificial shinbone is then positioned so that the front of the leg of the footwear is uppermost, and the central plane of the footwear is vertical and at an angle of 90 2 to the guide bar of the test rig. The left side of the footwear shall be opposite to the pivot (see figure 6). Carry out the test cut at a distance of (150 30) mm from the upper surface of the insock of the middle of the heel and at an angl
