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.
