What Do These Standards Mean?
- EN ISO 20345:2022 S3S refers to a specific safety standard that guarantees the following:
- Toe protection capable of withstanding 200 joules (equivalent to a 20kg weight dropping from a height of 10.2m)
- Additional foot protection in the form of a closed heel
- Anti static protection to reduced electrostatic build up and the risks associated with it (eg sparks)
- Energy absorption in the heel to provide support and reduce foot fatigue
- A waterproof exterior to prevent water penetration
- Midsole penetration resistance to prevent sharp objects from penetrating the footwear
The EN ISO 20345:2022 S3S signifies that the footwear meets the European safety standards for general use.
- IEC 61340-5-1:2016 refers to footwear that provide effective protection for wearers against harmful exposure to static electricity. Static electricity can build up if PPE is not conductive enough, resulting in a sudden electrostatic discharge (ESD). This standard indicates that the product minimises the risk of ESD-related damage as a result of a strong, sudden discharge of built-up electrostatic charge.
