EUROPEAN STANDARS ON SAFETY SHOES

Footwear for professional use according to EN ISO 20345: 2011 is marked by an "S" (from English Safety = Safety) as Safety Footwear. The so-called "basic" shoe is marked with the letters "SB" (S = Security - "B" = Base). This shoe must have the following minimum requirements: • height of the upper • tip (minimum length, minimum support base) • upper in "crust" leather, microfibre and similar • front lining • insole • sole in any type of material, can be smooth • the upper, in the lower shoe, can be opened in the heel area. In the "SB" Footwear the following requirements are never understood if not specified in detail: • anti-static • energy absorption of the heel • dynamic waterproofing of the upper • sole with dowels • back lining • water-repellent upper • foil or anti-friction fabric. The following is the meaning of the stamping that you can find on the shoe.

epa (ESD): dissipative footwear (ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE SENSITIVE DEVICE)
These shoes have been designed to allow continuous and controlled dissipation within safety values ​​of the electrostatic charges present on the operator's body in order to protect electronic devices sensitive to electrostatic phenomena. The recommended "EPA" resistance to ground is ≤ 3.5x107Ω. Considering that the measurements are made with the footwear worn by the user, the values ​​obtained can vary considerably from person to person and according to environmental conditions, since the electrical resistance of the human body is variable.

EN ISO 20346:2011

Protective footwear under EN ISO 20346: 2011 are called "Protective footwear". They are essentially identical to safety footwear. The only differences are the following:

  • Impact protection tip with 100 J energy and 10 KN compression
  • they are marked with "P" (from the English word "protective") instead of the "S" (Safety shoes).

N.B.: use in all workplaces where 100 J protection is sufficient

EN ISO 20347:2012

Work shoes under EN ISO 20347: 2012 are called "work shoes" or "professional". They are essentially identical to the footwear analyzed previously. They differ from not having a protection tip and the marking is done by replacing the letters "S" and "P" with "O" (from English "occupational" = work) and therefore identified with 01, 02, 03. The resistance to non-obligatory FO hydrocarbons must be indicated on the marking.

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF EUROPEAN STANDARDS

EN ISO 20349:2010: Small splashes of molten metal like those produced during welding operations and related processes.

EN ISO 20344:2011: Test methodology and general requirements.

EN ISO 20345:2011: Safety shoe specifications with 200 J toe resistance.

EN ISO 20346:2011: Specifications of protective footwear with 100 J toe resistance.

EN ISO 20347:2012: Specifications of "Work footwear" or "professional". No specific resistance of the tip.

UNI 11583:2015: The UNI 11583: 2015 compliant calibres meet the requirements of the UNI 11583: 2015 standard which specifies the requirements for safety, protection and work footwear for professional use for work on inclined roofs.
