Personal protective equipment - Safety footwear
Also Known As:
The DIN EN ISO 20345 standard sets out the requirements for safety footwear used in general purposes. The standard encompasses both basic and additional (optional) requirements, ensuring that the footwear offers protection against various risks such as mechanical hazards, slip resistance, thermal risks, and ergonomic behavior.
It is important to note that while this standard covers a wide range of risks, there are specific job-related standards for certain industries or professions. These complementary standards address specialized risks and requirements, such as footwear for firefighters, electrical insulating footwear, protection against chainsaw cutting, protection against chemicals, protection against molten metal splash, and footwear for motorcyclists.
