  Test results

  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.

  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.

• EN 61340-5-1:2016

  EN 61340-5-1:2016 is a European standard that defines the requirements and test methods for measuring the performance of ESD (electrostatic discharge) protective clothing. This standard covers the performance of clothing, including material, design and construction, that is intended to protect the human body against electrostatic discharges, which are a type of electrical shock caused by the build-up of static electricity on the body or clothing. The standard also includes test methods to evaluate the clothing's performance, including tests for electric strength, charge decay, and resistance to penetration of electrostatic charges. Test results must show that the clothing meets or exceeds the required performance levels and other requirements specified in the standard.

  Electrostatic Discharge Antistatic

  The standard EN 61340-5-1:2016 specifies requirements and test methods for materials and products that control electrostatic discharge to prevent damage or malfunction of electronic/components in sensitive environments. When a product is labeled as Antistatic under this standard, it signifies that the material or protective equipment has properties that prevent the build-up of static electricity by allowing it to dissipate. This result generally implies a surface resistance in a specific range or contains materials that dissipate electrostatic charges. Testing for antistatic properties typically includes measuring the resistance of the material or product by applying a voltage across it and determining its resistance using tools such as an electrostatic voltmeter or a surface resistance meter. This test is essential in environments such as electronic assembly or explosive atmospheres, where static discharge can be harmful. Properly marked materials under EN 61340-5-1:2016 ensure that the products are safe for use in settings where electrostatic discharge could pose a risk, thereby safeguarding sensitive equipment or environments from electrostatic damage.

• 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.
