  General Requirements CR

  The standard EN ISO 20345:2011 encompasses general requirements for safety footwear to ensure they provide adequate protection in various occupational environments. Rating 'CR' signifies that the footwear has a cut resistant upper ensuring enhanced protection. The test method involves assessing the material's resistance to splitting or cracking under certain conditions, which simulates real-world industrial hazards involving sharp objects or surfaces. Practically, this result ensures that the footwear is suitable for environments where there is a risk of materials splitting or getting caught, thereby providing essential safety benefits to the user.

  General Requirements S1

  The designation S1 under the EN ISO 20345:2011 standard signifies a basic level of safety footwear which includes several important features. Specifically, a footwear labeled as S1 has 200 joules toe cap, fully enclosed heel, anti-static protection, and energy absorption in the heel. The testing method to confirm the S1 classification generally involves specific conditions and apparatus to measure the effectiveness of the footwear under these criteria. For instance, the heel energy absorption is often tested by dropping a weight onto the heel and measuring the force transmitted through the footwear to simulate real-world impacts during usage. Meeting the S1 requirement implies that the footwear can adequately protect users in environments where static electricity, basic impacts, and exposure to fuel-related chemicals are a concern. This tag therefore allows safety managers and procurement professionals to match footwear to known workplace hazards, ensuring a suitable level of protection for employees in varied industrial settings.

  General Requirements P

  EN ISO 20345:2011 specifies safety requirements for footwear used in a range of industries to protect wearers from mechanical risks and other workplace hazards. The 'P' designation indicates that the footwear has been tested for penetration resistance, which means it can withstand a force of up to 1100 Newtons from sharp objects like nails. This test is conducted by applying a specified force to a nail or similar sharp object against the sole of the footwear to ensure it cannot penetrate through to the foot. Footwear meeting this requirement is essential for industries where workers are at risk of stepping on sharp objects, such as construction or manufacturing, providing a critical level of protection to the wearer's feet.

• CE Marking

  CE Marking is a label that shows a product meets certain safety and environmental standards set by the European Union. To get the CE Marking, a company must test and certify their product meets these standards. CE Marking is required for many products sold in the EU, including electronics, machinery, toys and medical devices. It helps ensure that products are safe for consumers and the environment, and allows for easy trade within the EU.
