Machinery for forestry - Portable chain-saw safety requirements and testing - Part 1: Chain-saws for forest service (ISO 11681-1:2022)
This document specifies safety requirements and measures for verification for the design, construction, transporting and commissioning of portable, combustion-engine, hand-held chain-saws. The chain-saws are intended to be used for forest work by only one operator, with the right hand on the rear handle and left hand on the front handle. Dismantling and scrapping of the product is not covered by this document. Methods for the elimination or reduction of hazards arising from the use of these machines and the type of information on safe working practices to be provided by the manufacturer are specified. This document deals with all significant hazards, hazardous situations and hazardous events, with the exception of kickback and balance for machines with an engine displacement of more than 80 cm3, relevant to these machines when they are used as intended and under conditions of misuse which are reasonably foreseeable by the manufacturer (see Annex A). This document is applicable to chain-saws manufactured after its date of publication.
EN ISO 11681-1:2022 (Machinery for forestry - Portable chain-saw safety requirements and testing - Part 1: Chain-saws for forest service) is a CEN-endorsed adoption of ISO 11681-1:2022. It specifies safety requirements, protective measures and verification/testing for portable, combustion‑engine, hand‑held chain‑saws used in forest service by a single operator (right hand on rear handle, left hand on front handle). The standard covers design, construction, transport and commissioning. It does not cover dismantling/scrapping and excludes certain kickback and balance requirements for machines with engine displacement > 80 cm3. It applies to chain‑saws manufactured after the publication date.
The document addresses all significant hazards, hazardous situations and events (when used as intended or under reasonably foreseeable misuse). Major technical topics include:

EN ISO 11681-1:2022 is intended to provide a presumption of conformity with relevant aspects of the EU Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC) where cited. Users should also consult related standards on noise, vibration, emissions and other parts of the ISO/CEN forestry machinery series and national implementation documents for full regulatory compliance.
