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 S5. 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. 
• S5: This is the subcategory of the EN ISO 20345: 2011 rating mentioned above. 'SBP' means that this footwear has protective toecaps, fully closed heels with energy absorption, antistatic properties, resistance to fuel oils, penetration resistance, raised/protruding anti-slip outsoles.

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.
