  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 S3

  The EN ISO 20345:2011 standard specifies the general safety requirements for protective footwear used in various industries. The S3 designation under this standard means the footwear has met certain criteria, including basic toe protection, anti-static properties, energy absorption of the seat region, water resistance, fully enclosed heel, cleated outsole, and penetration resistance by a steel midsole. This classification involves specific test methods like compression and impact tests on toe protection, antistatic resistance tests, energy absorption verification at the heel section, water penetration, and absorption tests to ascertain the upper material's resistance, and penetration resistance tests to ensure the protective features of the outsole and midsole. For industries requiring protective footwear that can withstand mechanical risks, moisture, and sharp objects, achieving an S3 result guarantees a high safety level, making footwear that meets this requirement suitable for environments with increased moisture and at risk of foot penetration by sharp objects.

• ISO 14001:2015

  ISO 14001:2015 is a standard that specifies requirements for an environmental management system (EMS). It includes requirements for how companies should design, implement, maintain and improve their EMS to ensure that they minimize negative impacts on the environment and comply with environmental regulations. Test results can include information on how well the EMS is functioning, how well it is being followed, and how effective it is in reducing environmental impacts. The standard also includes requirements for how the company should document and record their EMS performance and continuously improve it.

  Environmental Management Passed

  The standard ISO 14001:2015 pertains to environmental management systems (EMS). A passed test result under this standard indicates that an organization's EMS meets the stringent criteria set forth for managing environmental responsibilities systematically. This ensures sustainable development while considering environmental impacts. Specifically, ISO 14001:2015 includes requirements for a framework that an organization can follow rather than establishing environmental performance criteria. It encompasses various aspects such as compliance obligations, planning actions to address risks and opportunities, and continual improvement. The test primarily involves evaluating the effectiveness of the EMS in supporting a company to achieve its intended outcomes regarding its environmental performance. If a company has passed this evaluation, it reflects their commitment to environmental stewardship, potentially enhancing their marketability and aiding in compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements.

• EN ISO 9001:2015

  EN ISO 9001:2015 is a standard that sets out the requirements for a quality management system (QMS). It is a set of guidelines that organizations can follow to ensure that they meet customer requirements and enhance customer satisfaction. The standard is based on the plan-do-check-act model and focuses on continuous improvement. It covers the design, development, production, installation, and servicing of products. Organizations can get certified to this standard, which means that they have been independently audited and found to meet the requirements of the standard. The certification process includes regular audits to ensure that the organization continues to meet the standard's requirements.

• 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.

• 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.
