STANDARD EN ISO 20345: PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT SAFETY FOOTWEAR

This document is not an official reproduction of the standard; refer to the standards issued by AFNORwww.afnor.org 

Standard EN ISO 20345 defines the basic and additional requirements relating to safety shoes.

Standard EN ISO 20344 defines the test methods for the shoes.Classification :

Description code	Classification
I	Footwear made from leather and or other materials, excludingall rubber and all polymeric footwear
II	Shoes made entirely of rubber or polymer

All models manufactured by ETCHE SECURITE are class II.

Main basic requirements :

	Classification	Requirements
Whole shoe	II	impact resistance 200J*
		compression 15kN*
		Watertightness
		Ergonomic characteristics
Upper	II	Minimum thickness
		Tensile resistance
		Bending resistance
Sole	II	Minimum thickness
		Abrasion resistance
		Bending resistance

*Standard EN 12568 defines the requirements and test methods for toe-caps and midsoles.

Standard EN 13287 defines the test methods for determining the slip resistance of footwear.

The coefficients measured are greater than :

Surface	Lubricant	Position		Symbol
		Flat	Heel
Ceramic	Detergent	0.32	0.28	SRA	SRC
Steel	Glycerine	0.18	0.13	SRB

Additional requirements : 

	Classification	Requirements	Symbol
Whole shoe	II	Perforation resistance	P
		Antistatic shoes	A
		Heel energy absorption capacity	E
		Ankle protection	AN
		Electrically Insulating shoes	I
Upper	II	Cut resistance	CR
Outsole	II	Heat resistance (direct contact for 60 seconds at 300°C)	HRO
		Resistance to fuel oil	FO

Marking :

Symbol	Classification	Requirements
SB	II	Basic requirements
S4	II	SB + antistatic properties + heel energy absorption + resistance to fuel oil
S5	II	S4 + Perforation resistance + Studded soles
