The safety footwear standard is referred to as EN ISO 20345. The EN ISO 20345 standard sets out the minimum requirements that safety footwear must be successfully tested against.
All safety footwear in this standard is at least SB which means it has toe protection against a 200 Joule impact. Safety footwear can also be tested for extra protective features, which are displayed below:
- SBP (Penetration Resistant)
- S1 (Antistatic, Fuel Oil Resistant, Energy Absorption)
- S1P (Antistatic, Fuel Oil Resistant, Energy Absorption, Penetration Resistant)
- S2 (Antistatic, Fuel Oil Resistant, Energy Absorption, Water Resistant)
|
- S3 (Antistatic, Fuel Oil Resistant, Energy Absorption, Penetration Resistant, Water Resistant)
- S4 (Antistatic, Fuel Oil Resistant, Energy Absorption, Waterproof)
- S5 (Antistatic, Fuel Oil Resistant, Energy Absorption, Penetration Resistant, Waterproof)
