1. EN ISO 20345:2022 ‒ safety footwear
It means that model you have selected is has been designed for professional using. The marking guarantie that the footwear has toe cap for providing protection against impact when tested at an energy level of 200J and crushing hazards by maximum loads 1500 daN or 15kN
2.EN ISO 20346:2022 ‒ protection footwear
It means that model you have selected is has been designed for professional use. The marking guarantie that the footwear has toe cap for providing protection against impact when tested at an energy level of 200J and crushing hazards by maximum loads 1000 daN or 10kN
3. EN ISO 20347:2022 ‒ occupational footwear

The footwear you choose is EN 61340-5-1:2016 personnel grounding, ESD control‒footwear,Testing method is EN61340-4-3:2018,Pre-conditioning 40±3°C, Conditioning 23±3°C,12±3%RH for 72 hours,Measurement 23.0°C,12.0%RH,Test voltage 100V,Elapsed time 15seconds, Electrical resistance ‒ Max. Values 100MΩ. ![]() ESD footwear should be used if it is necessary to minimize electrostatic build-up by dissipating electrostatic charges, thus avoiding the risk of spark ignition of, for example, flammable substances and vapours,and if the risk of electric |
shock from any electrical apparatus or live parts has not been completely eliminated. It should be noted, however, that antistatic footwear cannot guarantee adequate protection against electric shock as it only introduces a resistance between foot and floor. If the risk of electric shock has not been completely eliminated, additional measures to avoid this risk are essential. Such measures, as well as the additional tests mentioned below, should be a routine part of the accident prevention programme at the workplace. |
the event of any electrical apparatus becoming defective when operating at voltages of up to 250 V. However, under certain conditions, users should be aware that the footwear might give inadequate protection and additional provisions to protect the wearer should be taken at all times.
