  General Requirements SB

  The SB result in the EN ISO 20345:2011 standard for general requirements refers to basic safety requirements for footwear, indicating a basic level of protection. This result means that the footwear meets essential safety performance standards, including a toe protection against a 200-joule impact. The testing method involves subjecting the toe area of the footwear to impacts and compression at specified energy levels to ensure it can protect the wearer's toes against potential workplace accidents properly. The practical implication of an SB result for footwear under this standard is that it is suitable for work environments where toe protection is necessary, but where there may not be special requirements for additional resistance against water penetration, or heat, which are covered by other codes in the standard (like S1, S3, etc.). This classification helps procurement professionals select the appropriate safety footwear based on the specific hazards present in the workplace environment.

• 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.
