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
