safety standards
Safe in the knowledge that it’s Husqvarna protective clothing from head to toe.
When you are working with high-powered chainsaws, high quality protective clothing is of the utmost importance. There are a large number of developments in materials for protective clothing but through rigorous monitoring of manufactured protective clothing, users can feel secure in the knowledge that the clothing they are wearing has met the standards and tests stipulated for safety requirements. Practical protective clothing and safety accessories must be used in combination to ensure the best possible protection and optimum safety. For protection to work, it has to be used. But please remember always read
the user manual and use common sense when working with machines in the forest or garden. That’s why we put a lot of time into making our protective equipment and clothing so comfortable and ergonomic that you can use them without being restricted or bothered while you work. Good protective equipment must withstand the wear inflicted by long shifts and demanding conditions. The fit and the protective qualities of protective clothing must be retained after it has been used, washed and cleaned. That’s why Husqvarna selects the best materials for the job they are needed for.
The most rigorous safety testing. Protective clothing for forestry work must carry CE marking. When it also carries the EuroTest mark, you know that randomly selected samples are regularly re-inspected by an accredited institute. EuroTest shows that the manufacturer has made every effort to ensure that every sample it produces fulfils the safety requirements. CE marks and the Euro Test logos can be found on Husqvarna certified clothing. Numbers regarding the safety standards i.e. EN381 can be found on many items. These numbers are there as a standards mark showing that these items have been thoroughly tested in compliance with the required testing methods set out by the European Council. Items which carry these safety testing labels does not offer 100 % protection, but common sense will also benefit your safety when working with chainsaws.
