What EN Safety Standards Do These Steel Toecap Waders Comply With?
The Portwest FW71 Waders have an EN ISO 20345: 2011 S5 certification. Please read below to understand what these mean in more detail:
- EN ISO 20345: 2011 S5 refers to a specific safety footwear standard that outlines the requirements and specifications for a particular type of safety boots. The "S" stands for "Safety" and indicates that the footwear provides basic toe protection, and the "5" indicates the level of safety features provided by the footwear. The S5 designation for safety footwear means that the footwear meets the following requirements:
- Toe Protection: The footwear must have a protective toe cap that can withstand an impact energy of 200 joules. This protects the toes from falling objects or compression hazards.
- Closed Heel Area: The footwear must have a closed and energy-absorbing heel area for additional support and protection.
- Anti-static Properties: The footwear must have antistatic properties, reducing the risk of electrostatic discharge.
- Energy Absorption: The footwear must have energy-absorbing properties in the heel area, which helps to reduce the impact on the wearer's feet and joints.
- Penetration Resistance: The footwear must have a puncture-resistant sole to protect against sharp objects penetrating the sole.
- Water-Resistance: The footwear must have water-resistant properties to some extent, providing protection against water and moisture.
