Product standard for safety shoes

The product standards for safety shoes involve a number of aspects designed to ensure that safety shoes provide adequate protection for the wearer in different work environments. Here is an overview of some of the main safety shoe product standards and their contents:

First, international product standards

EN ISO 20345

Overview: International safety footwear standards jointly developed by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) and the Technical committee ISO/TC94.

Protection performance requirements:

Impact resistance: Safety shoes must be able to withstand at least 200 joules of impact energy.

Compression resistance: Safety shoes must be able to withstand a compression force of 15 kilontons (KN).

Puncture resistance: The middle soles of safety shoes need to have good resistance to penetration of sharp objects.

Anti-slip: In a wet or greasy working environment, safety shoes need to have good anti-slip performance.

Additional testing: including conductivity testing, antistatic testing, heat insulation testing, etc., to meet the special needs of different working environments.

Other international standards

Such AS AS/NZS, DIN, JIS and other standard systems have also formulated corresponding safety shoe product standards, which have legal effect in their respective countries or regions.

Second, domestic product standards

GB 21148-2020 "Foot Protection Safety Shoes" (or similar latest version)

Basic requirements: including the structure, material, comfort and other basic properties of shoes to ensure the basic performance of shoes in daily use.

Protection performance requirements:

Impact resistance: Test the impact resistance of the shoe head to ensure the protection effect of the inner head on the toe.

Puncture resistance: Evaluate the strength of the sole's puncture pad to prevent penetration by sharp objects.

Electrical insulation performance: Test whether the shoe can effectively isolate the current, suitable for electrical work environment.

Skid resistance: Evaluate skid resistance under different surface conditions through SRA, SRB or SRC tests.

Thermal insulation: Check the thermal insulation capacity of the sole and lining to prevent heat conduction damage.

Chemical protection: such as the detection of hexavalent chromium content of the shoe tongue to ensure that the material is harmless to the skin.

Other requirements:

Physical performance test: including the tear strength, binding strength, folding resistance of the upper and outsole.

Identification and marking: Safety shoes should be clearly marked with protection level, manufacturer information, production date, etc.

Maintenance specifications: Provide maintenance methods and precautions for safety shoes to extend the service life.

User information: Provide guidelines and precautions for the wearer to understand the use of safety shoes.

Third, the importance of product standards

Safety: Product standards ensure that safety shoes provide adequate protection for wearers in different work environments and reduce the risk of occupational injury.

Standardize the market: Unified product standards help standardize the market order, prevent inferior products from entering the market, and protect the rights and interests of consumers.

Promote technological progress: The continuous update and improvement of product standards have promoted the continuous progress and innovation of safety shoe technology.

Fourth, precautions

Standard update: Safety shoe product standards will be updated with the development of time and technology, so in practical applications should pay attention to the latest version of the standard.

Applicability: Different industries and working environments may have different protective performance requirements for safety shoes, so the choice of safety shoes should be made according to actual needs.

Quality testing: When purchasing safety shoes, you should choose regular channels and brands, and pay attention to the quality testing report and certification of the product.

In summary, the product standards of safety shoes are multi-faceted, covering many aspects such as protective performance, physical properties, identification and marking. In practical applications, relevant standards should be strictly observed to ensure that the quality and performance of safety shoes meet the requirements.
