EN ISO 20345:2013 is a set of rules for safety shoes and boots worn by people who work in construction. It tells how the shoes and boots should be made and tested to protect the feet from hazards such as slips and falls, as well as how to test the shoes and boots to ensure they meet the requirements of the standard. Test results will show if the shoes and boots are good at not slipping, if they can handle water and heat, if they last a long time, and if they can protect the feet from falling objects. The goal of the standard is to make sure that the shoes and boots that construction workers wear keep their feet safe from hazards.

EN ISO 20347:2004 is a standard for occupational footwear. It defines the performance requirements and test methods for occupational footwear, including requirements for slip resistance, water penetration, and energy absorption in the heel area. It also describes the markings and labeling that should be on the footwear and the information that should be included in the user manual. Possible test results include whether the footwear meets the requirements for slip resistance, water penetration, energy absorption in the heel area and compliance with the markings, labeling and information in the user manual.

EN ISO 20347:2004/A1:2007 is an amendment to the standard for occupational footwear. It adds additional performance requirements and test methods to the original standard, including requirements for penetration resistance and energy absorption in the heel area on ceramic and steel surfaces. It also describes the markings and labeling that should be on the footwear and the information that should be included in the user manual. Possible test results include whether the footwear meets the requirements for slip resistance, water penetration, energy absorption in the heel area, penetration resistance on ceramic and steel surfaces and compliance with the markings, labeling and information in the user manual.

EN ISO 20347:2004/AC:2007 is an additional standard that supplements the EN ISO 20347:2004. It contains additional information on the marking and labeling of occupational footwear, and the information that should be included in the user manual. It also provides additional guidance on the selection and use of occupational footwear. The test results will be based on compliance of the marking and labeling of the footwear, and the content of the user manual provided.

EN ISO 20347:2012 is a standard for occupational footwear. It defines the performance requirements and test methods for occupational footwear, including requirements for slip resistance, water penetration, and energy absorption in the heel area. It also describes the markings and labeling that should be on the footwear and the information that should be included in the user manual. Possible test results include whether the footwear meets the requirements for slip resistance, water penetration, energy absorption in the heel area and compliance with the markings, labeling and information in the user manual.

EN ISO 20347:2022 is a standard for occupational footwear. It defines the performance requirements and test methods for occupational footwear, including requirements for slip resistance, water penetration, energy absorption in the heel area, penetration resistance, and static electrical dissipation. It also describes the markings and labeling that should be on the footwear and the information that should be included in the user manual. Possible test results include whether the footwear meets the requirements for slip resistance, water penetration, energy absorption in the heel area, penetration resistance, and static electrical dissipation and compliance with the markings, labeling and information in the user manual.

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.

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.
