  Test results

  General Requirements S5

  The General Requirements S5 result in the EN ISO 20345:2011 standard identifies that the product has met specific safety criteria defined under category S5. This includes all the requirements for safety footwear made from ruber or polymeric that include, among other factors, the footwear having 200 joules toe cap, fully enclosed heel, antistatic protection, energy absorption of seat region, penetration resistant midsole, and having cleated outsoles. The S5 specification in this standard confirms adherence to rigorous testing protocols that assess these features. The test method involves subjecting the footwear to simulated conditions that evaluate their resistance to water penetration and absorption, along with measuring the performance of outsoles on various surfaces to ensure they meet the minimum requirements for safety in different working environments. The practical implication of this result is that the footwear is suitable for environments where contact with water is frequent and where enhanced grip and durability are necessary, thereby assuring the safety and comfort of the wearer in challenging conditions.

  General Requirements FO

  The standard EN ISO 20345:2011, specifically its General Requirement FO, pertains to footwear containing fuel oil-resistant outsoles. When footwear under this specification successfully meets the FO requirement, it implies that the footwear's outsole has been tested and confirmed to resist degradation due to contact with fuel oil. The test involves exposing the outsole material to fuel oil for a determined period, typically 22 hours, at a controlled temperature of 22°C. This test assesses the change in volume and properties of the outsole following fuel oil exposure by measuring its tensile strength and elongation before and after the exposure. For procurement professionals, a positive FO result indicates that the footwear's outsole will maintain its mechanical performance and integrity when in contact with fuel oil, making it suitable for industries where oil exposure is frequent, providing durability and reliable performance under such conditions.

• 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.
