Quotations are hereby invited for the following: Clothing, PPE & Accessories: - 5 each x chainsaw safety trouser (large); - 5 each x chainsaw safety trouser xl. Supply chainsaw pants (large) x 5 - must have B20 + main requirements: The following is a brief description of the main requirements that the trousers must comply with: - Protective coverage: Protective coverage is the area that is covered with protective material. Although 3 designs exist in the standard that was adopted for South Africa, the Ergonomics Working Group felt that design B will be the minimum requirement for South Africa and this was accepted as such; - Front: The specified protective area fully covers the front of the garment from 50mm above the end of the legs to 200mm above the crotch. It is allowed to leave out protective material at the fly. Between the crotch and fly a break of 30mm is allowed, but it is recommended to keep this break as small as possible; - Rear, left leg: The specified protective area covers on the inner side of the leg a 50mm wide strip from 50mm from the bottom to 50mm below the crotch. On the outer side of the leg it covers a 50mm wide strip extending from 50mm above the lower end of the leg to 200mm below the crotch and then tapering to zero at a height of 200mm above the crotch; - Rear, right leg: The specified protective area covers on the inner side of the leg a 50mm wide strip from 50mm from the bottom to 50mm below the crotch. It is allowed to extend the protective coverage, under the condition that the protection level is at least the same as in the specified protective area. There shall be no joins in the protective material within the specified protective area; - Dimensions in millimetres: 1=Level of crotch protective area, design B: Dimensional change: After pre-treatment (washing, drying, dry-cleaning) the dimensional change (shrinkage/stretch) shall be less than 6%; - Resistance to saw chain cutting: Although provision is made in the standard for 3 different chain speeds at which no cut through is permitted, the Ergonomics Working Group decided that 20 metres/second (class 1) would suffice for South Africa (This is also the speed at which most trousers are certified internationally). Note that the number of protective material layers is not prescribed in the standard, as this is irrelevant so long as the trousers pass this test; - Attachment of protective material: The protective material shall be permanently attached to the garment with the attachment able to resist a force of at least 200N when tested; - Marking: In order to identify trousers that comply with the standard, the standard makes provision for how the trousers must be marked. This will ensure that all buyers can easily identify these trousers. If the trousers are not marked in the appropriate way they don"t comply with the standard. The following pictogram must be placed at any visible place on the trousers: 20m/s Class 1.
