EN ISO 20345:2011

Personal protective equipment — Safety footwear

ISO 20345:2011 specifies basic and additional (optional) requirements for safety footwear used for general purpose. It includes, for example, mechanical risks, slip resistance, thermal risks, ergonomic behaviour. Special risks are covered by complementary job-related standards, e.g. footwear for firefighters, electrical insulating footwear, footwear protecting against chain saw injuries, chemicals, molten metal splash, and protection for motor cycle riders.

EN ISO 20347:2012

Personal protective equipment — Occupational footwear

ISO 20347:2011 specifies basic and additional (optional) requirements for occupational footwear that is not exposed to any mechanical risks (impact or compression). Special risks are covered by complementary job-related standards (e.g. footwear for firefighters, electrical insulating footwear, protection against chain saw injuries, protection against chemicals and against molten metal splash, protection for motor cycle riders).

A	Antistatic Footwear
E	Energy absorption of seat region
FO	Resistance to fuel oil of outsole
P	Penetration resistance
C	Conductive footwear
HRO	Resistance to hot contact of outsole
CI	Cold insulation of sole complex
HI	Heat insulation of sole complex
WR*	Water resistant footwear
WRU	Water resistant upper
M	Metatarsal protection
CR	Cut resistance of upper
SRC	(SRA+SRB) Slip resistant footwear

 

* Water resistant footwear has sealed stitchings and water resistant materials. The test is made up of 1000 steps in water (3cm deep) for about 20 minutes.
