NOTE The applicability of a requirement to a particular classification is indicated in this Table by the following:
X the requirement shall be met. In some cases the requirement relates only to particular materials within the
classification — e.g. pH value of leather components. This does not mean that other materials are precluded from
use.
O if the component part exists, the requirement shall be met.
The absence of X or O indicates that there is no requirement.
*  Means that if the property is claimed, the requirement given in the appropriate clause shall be met.

5.3 Construction
Safety footwear with resistance to chain saw cutting shall have a continuous protective area, as shown in
Figure 1, comprising the vamp, tongue and toe area of the footwear. It includes:
a) the safety toecap;
b) the area immediately behind the toecap back edge bounded by two vertical lines at least 70 mm on either
side of the footwear centre line, measured between point A and point B as shown in Figure 1, and a line
parallel to the feather line at a maximum distance of 10 mm above the feather line and with a minimum
height as given in Table 3.

For level 3 and level 4 footwear (see 5.4), there shall be no gap between the protective area and the feather
line.
There shall be no gap between the toecap and the protective material.
All chain saw protective material shall be permanently attached to the footwear. If different chain saw
protective materials are used, they shall either be butted together or overlapped so that there are no surface
gaps.
If the footwear is designed to provide protection over a larger area than that specified, all parts shall have the
same protective quality.
