This is the European standard relating to safety footwear used for general purposes.
There are a host of specific tests conducted as part of EN ISO 20345, including tests for: Impact Resistance, Compression Resistance, and Anti-Penetration Insert.
Impact Resistance Test:
A steel weight of 20kg is adapted to fall freely on top of the footwear sample in order to assess the strength of the toe cap. After impact the distance between the toe cap and the insole must range between 12.5 –15mm.
Compression Resistance Test:
The footwear sample is subjected to a force of 15kN between two steel plates. Upon completion of the test the distance between the toe cap and the insole must range between 12.5 –15mm.
Anti-Penetration Insert Test:
A force of at least 1100N is applied to a test nail. In order to meet the standard, the tip of the nail must not protrude through the midsole of the footwear sample. A visual inspection is carried out to verify this.
