  Test results

  General Requirements WR

  The standard EN ISO 20345:2011 includes various general requirements for safety footwear, among which the WR test result indicates that the footwear has been certified as water-resistant. This test result specifically means that the footwear has successfully passed evaluations confirming its capability to prevent water penetration under specified conditions. The test method involves the footwear being subject to a dynamic water test, where it is exposed to mechanical action in the presence of water for a certain period to simulate wearing conditions in wet environments. The practical implication of this result for safety footwear is significant as it ensures that the footwear provides adequate protection against water ingress, which is vital for individuals working in environments where exposure to water or dampness is frequent. This certification lends reassurance that the footwear will maintain its performance and comfort in challenging wet conditions, thereby improving wearer safety and job performance.

  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.

• 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.
