Footwear Safety Classifications
Safety footwear standard EN345 is being superseded by EN ISO 20345. Any footwear that has been tested to EN345 can continue to be sold, however any new designs will have to be tested to the new standard.
Which standard your footwear is tested to is identified on the product information label, this is found within the boot or shoe. Highest protection, toe-caps are tested to 200 Joules. Classification S.
SB Safety basic 200 Joule protection.
S1 200 Joule toe-cap protection. Closed seat region (fully enclosed heel). Antistatic properties. Energy absorption of seat region.
S2 200 Joule toe-cap protection. Closed seat region (fully enclosed heel). Antistatic properties. Energy absorption of seat region. Water penetration and water absorption resistance.
S3 200 Joule toe-cap protection. Closed seat region (fully enclosed heel). Antistatic properties. Energy absorption of seat region. Water penetration and water absorption resistance. Plus penetration resistance. Cleated outsole.
S4 200 Joule toe-cap protection. All rubber or all polymeric footwear with antistatic properties. Energy absorption of seat region.
S5 200 Joule toe-cap protection. All rubber or all polymeric footwear with antistatic properties. Energy absorption of seat region. Plus penetration resistance. Cleated outsole.
Additional Safety Features
Should these products offer some extra protective features then the appropriate symbol will be added. i.e. A product that provides 200 Joule impact protection, is antistatic and has a heat resistant outsole will be marked SB A HRO.
P - Penetration resistance offered by a steel midsole.
C - Conductive footwear.
A - Antistatic footwear.
HI - Insulation against heat.
CI - Insulation against cold.
E - Energy absorption of seat region.
WRU -Water penetration and water absorption resistance.
HRO - Resistance to hot contact up to 300°C.
SRA - Footwear is resistant to slippage on a ceramic tiled floor with sodium Laurel sulphate lubricant.
SRB - Footwear is resistant to slippage on steel with Glycerol lubricant.
SRC - Footwear is resistant to slippage on steel with Glycerol lubricant and ceramic tiled floor with sodium Laurel sulphate lubricant.
