  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 S1P

  The EN ISO 20345:2011 standard sets the benchmark for safety footwear designed to protect users from injuries and accidents in diverse environments. The S1P designation under this standard refers to footwear that has 200 joules toe cap, fully enclosed heel, anti-static protection, energy absorption in the heel, and penetration resistant midsole. The test for the S1P requirement involves ensuring that the footwear has a resistant toe cap tested against a 200-joule impact, electrical resistance testing under defined conditions to confirm anti-static properties, and penetration resistance, where the sole is tested against a force of at least 1100 Newtons. Moreover, the heel region of the footwear is required to absorb energy, thereby reducing impact during wear. These criteria make EN ISO 20345:2011 S1P certified footwear ideal for environments where sharp objects, electric charge, and heavy impact risks are prevalent, thereby guaranteeing a high safety standard for wearers in 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.

  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 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.
