This specification prescribes the minimum requirements for the design, performance, testing, and certification of protective garments and protective devices that, when worn by operators of power chain saws, shall provide cut resistance protection to their legs, and thereby reducing leg injuries caused by close contact with the running chain saw. The protective garments and devices shall be constructed with suitable fit and flexibility so as to provide sufficient leg comfort and normal maneuverability to perform intended tasks, while maintaining satisfactory functionality and efficacy for the duration of its regular use throughout seasonal climatic variations. Completed garments shall be inspected and certified as specified, and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
