Personal protective equipment. Test methods for footwear
Specifies methods for testing footwear designed as personal protective equipment.
There are 3 categories of shoes for professional use:
>> EN ISO 20345
Personal protective equipment. Safety footwear
Toe protection against shocks equivalent to a level of energy equal to 200J and the risks of flattening under a maximal weight of 1500 daN
>> EN ISO 20346
Personal protective equipment. Protective footwear
Toe protection against shocks equivalent to a level of energy equal to 100J and the risks of flattening under a maximal weight of 1000 daN
>> EN ISO 20347
Personal protective equipment. Occupational footwear
No specification about toe protection.
>> EN ISO 20344
Personal protective equipment. Test methods for footwear
Besides of the general requirements, the shoes may comply with additional facultative requirements.
