This document is not an official reproduction of the standard; refer to the standards issued by AFNOR www.afnor.fr

Standard EN ISO 20347 defines the basic and additional requirements relating to work 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 in class II.

Main basic requirements  

	Classification	Requirements
Whole shoe	II	Watertightness
		Ergonomic characteristics
Upper	II	Minimum thickness
		Tensile resistance
		Bending resistance
Sole	II	Minimum thickness
		Abrasion resistance
		Bending resistance

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

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

Marking:
