  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.

• EN ISO 20344:2011

  EN ISO 20344:2011 is a standard that covers performance requirements and test methods for personal protective equipment (PPE) worn by workers in the construction industry. It specifies the requirements for PPE used to protect against foot hazards such as safety shoes and boots. The standard covers the design, construction, and testing of PPE, including items such as slip resistance, water absorption, and wear resistance. Test results will include information such as the PPE's grip and slip resistance, its durability, and comfort. The standard aims to ensure that PPE used in the construction industry provides adequate protection for workers from foot hazards.

• 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.
