2. North America

Clogger chainsaw protective garments are certified by Underwriters Laboratory (UL) to ASTM F1897-14 for USA and to BNQ 1923-450-1 for Canada.


In addition, they meet the Worksafe BC Standard as set out in their OHSR Section 8-21 (2). These North American regulations specify the following minimum chainspeed ratings:


  • ASTM F1897-14: 2750 ft/min
  • BNQ 1923-450-1: 3000 ft/min
  • Worksafe BC: 3300 ft/min

All standard Clogger chainsaw protective garments currently offered in the United States are made using Arrestex HP which has a chainspeed rating of 3500 feet/minute which exceeds each of these standards.




The Arcmax range of garments are made with Arrestex FR which has an even higher chainspeed rating of 3600 feet/minute.


Straight off their website- under Standards & Certifications. ;)
