Driver safety in winter conditions depends not only on the technical correctness of the transport vehicles, but also on winter equipment used. Snow chains, in addition to technically correct vehicles and tires, are one of the most important factors for driving safely on snowy roads. This paper presents a analysis of the quality of materials and anti-corrosion protection of snow chains that are frequently used in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and Serbia. For the purpose of analysis several tests were performed on tensioning the chains (at room temperature and at a temperature of -200C), hardness of the chains (Vickers method) as well as the test of the thickness of galvanized layer (metallographic method). All tests were performed in accordance with the relevant standards such as EN ISO 6507-1:2005; EN ISO 6892-1:2009; EN ISO 1461:200.
