EN ISO 17249 is the international standard for chainsaw protective safety footwear. In addition to meeting general safety footwear requirements, boots certified to this standard are tested for resistance to accidental chainsaw contact. The standard classifies footwear into different protection classes based on chain speed, helping users choose the appropriate level of protection for professional forestry work.

Chainsaw protection classes indicate the maximum chain speed that the footwear is designed to resist during testing. Class 1 is suitable for chainsaws up to **20 m/s**, Class 2 up to **24 m/s**, and Class 3 up to **28 m/s**. Higher classes generally provide greater protection for higher-powered equipment, but they may also increase boot weight. Selecting the appropriate class should be based on the chainsaw used and the job requirements.
