If the boots have been damaged, not
cleaned properly or their shape has
altered, their protective function can
no longer be guaranteed. The boots
should be replaced immediately to
ensure that the wearer continues to
benefit from optimum protection.
The boots are marked with:
manufacturer, notified body,
applicable standard, category, size of
boots, month and year of
manufacture, manufacturer’s model
designation, CE mark.
Meaning of categories
Specification of categories of safety
footwear (extract from
EN ISO 20345:2011, Table 20)
– SB: Basic requirements as per the
standard (e.g. protective toe cap)
– S1: Same as SB, plus closed heel
area, antistatic, energy
absorbing capability in heel area,
fuel resistance
– S2: Same as S1, with additional
requirement concerning water
penetration and water absorption
by the upper part of the shoe
– S3: Same as S2, plus penetration
inhibition/resistance, treaded sole
Meaning of additional requirements
(symbols) - (extract from
EN ISO 17249:2013, Table 1 and
EN ISO 20345:2011, Table 18)
– P: penetration resistance
– C: electrical resistance, conductive
footwear
– A:. electrical resistance, antistatic
footwear
– I: electrically insulating footwear
– HI: insulating against heat
– CI: insulating against cold
– E: energy absorbing capability in
the heel area
– WR: waterproof footwear
– M: mid-foot protection
– AN: ankle protection
– WRU: resistance of the upper part
of the shoe to water penetration
and water absorption
– CR: cut resistance (not against
chain saw cuts)
– HRO: outsole resistance to hot
contact
– FO: fuel resistance of outsole
– SRA: slip resistance on ceramic
tiles / soap
– SRB: slip resistance on steel plate
/ glycerin
– SRC: slip resistance on ceramic
tiles / soap and steel plate /
glycerin
Penetration resistance - Caution!
Please note that the penetration
resistance of these boots has been
determined in the laboratory using a
standardized test nail with a diameter
of 4.5 mm and applying a force of
1100 N. Greater forces or thinner
nails can increase the risk of
penetration. Alternative preventive
measures should be considered in
such cases.
