  Service Reliability Passed

  EN ISO 9001:2015 is a globally recognized standard that specifies requirements for a quality management system (QMS), focusing on numerous aspects of quality management in organizations, aiming to enhance customer satisfaction through the effective application of the system. The 'Service Reliability' with a 'Passed' designation indicates that an organization has successfully demonstrated its ability to consistently provide services that meet customer and regulatory requirements while aiming for continual improvement. This assessment involves evaluating various elements of the QMS including service planning, execution, and monitoring, to ensure reliability and performance consistency. The practical implications for organizations that pass this aspect of the standard are significant; it establishes them as reliable providers in their industry, enhancing customer trust and satisfaction, and potentially leading to increased business and a competitive advantage.

  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 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.

• PPE Category 2

  PPE stands for "personal protective equipment." PPE Category 2 refers to equipment that is more complex, and has a higher level of risk. Examples of PPE Category 2 include safety helmets, ear protection, and fall arrest equipment. In Europe, PPE Category 2 must meet certain safety standards set by the European Union, which means that it must be designed and manufactured to protect the user without causing harm. Companies that make or sell PPE must prove that it meets these standards. They also must have a quality management system in place and have to be audited regularly by a notified body.

• 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.
