The ANSI standard states:
Because of differences in replacement guide bars, the following guidelines shall be considered to determine kickback energy: Sprocket nose guide bars with the same effective length, the same number of sprocket nose teeth, and the same pitch may be considered to have equivalent kickback energy; A hard-nose guide bar having the same effective bar length, and the same or smaller nose radius as a sprocket-nose bar, may be considered to have equivalent or less kickback energy than the sprocket nose-bar; Kickback energy of all guide bar types may be considered to be less for smaller nose radius sizes.
