What Do These Standards Mean?

EN Standards can be difficult to understand, especially if you're not within the industry. For more information on these boots and what these safety standards mean, keep reading the information below. For a more detailed breakdown of EN standards, including specific variations and codes, check out our handy guide to EN standards for footwear.

These safety boots have the EN safety standard rating: EN ISO 20345: 2011 SBP HRO. Let's break down what this means:

• EN ISO 20345 2011: This is the overarching standard at which the safety requirements needed for all work footwear are met. This standard is then divided into several different classes which are rated and determined from a series of risk assessments that are conducted for different parts of the footwear. 
• SBP: This is the subcategory of the EN ISO 20345: 2011 rating mentioned above. 'SBP' means that this footwear has protective toecaps and penetration resistance.
• HRO: This rating stands for 'Heat Resistant Outsole', meaning this footwear is resistant to exposure to hot temperatures. In this particular case, these boots have heat resistance of up to 300°C.

What Other Footwear of the Same Standard Is There?

Where Else Can These Safety Boots Be Worn?

Safety boots are typically worn in industries or occupations where there is a risk of foot injuries from falling objects, sharp objects, electrical hazards, slippery surfaces, or other potential workplace hazards. Here are some common areas where safety boots are worn:

• Construction Sites: Safety boots are essential in construction sites where workers are exposed to falling objects, heavy machinery, uneven terrain, and other construction-related hazards.
• Manufacturing and Industrial Facilities: Workers in manufacturing and industrial facilities, including factories, warehouses, and production lines, often wear safety boots to protect against potential foot injuries from heavy equipment, moving parts, falling objects, and industrial hazards.
• Warehouses and Logistics: In warehouses and logistics environments, where material handling, loading and unloading, and storage activities take place, safety boots are worn to protect against foot injuries from heavy objects, pallets, forklifts, and potential slips and falls.
• Mining and Extraction: Mining operations involve rugged terrains, heavy machinery, and various hazards such as falling rocks, sharp objects, and chemical exposure. Safety boots are crucial for miners to protect their feet in such challenging environments.
• Oil and Gas Industry: Workers in the oil and gas industry, (such as drilling, refining, and pipeline operations) face a range of hazards including heavy equipment, slippery surfaces, chemical exposure, and potential impact injuries. Safety boots are worn to mitigate these risks.

• Emergency Services: Firefighters, paramedics, and other emergency service personnel often wear safety boots as part of their protective gear to ensure foot safety during rescue operations and hazardous incidents.

Why Are Steel Toecaps and Midsoles Important?

Steel toecaps and midsoles play an essential part in foot protection. This is for the following reasons:

  • They ensure compliance with the relevant safety rules and regulations
  • They prevent foot fatigue for enhanced comfort of the wearer
  • They protect against 200 joules of pressure (for protection against falling objects)
  • They prevent injury caused by compression, (for example between hard surfaces or machinery)
  • They prevent puncture and piercing injuries (for example caused by stepping on nails or other sharp objects)
• Steel Midsoles: 
  • They ensure compliance with the relevant safety rules and regulations
  • They prevent foot fatigue for enhanced comfort of the wearer
  • They prevent puncture and piercing injuries (for example caused by stepping on nails or other sharp objects)
