Penetration resistant outsole. Lowest penetration value is not less than 1100N. PL (Non-metal insert type PL) Penetration resistant outsole: Lowest penetration value is not less than 1100N and no separation of the layers occurred during tests. Tested for general risks with a nail 4.5mm in diameter. PS (Non-metal insert type PS) Penetration resistant outsole: Average penetration value is not less than 1100N. Tested for general risks with a nail 3mm in diameter (relevant for risks such as sewing needles or hypodermic needles). CI Insulation against cold WRU Water Penetration Resistant Uppers WPA Water Penetration and Absorption (water resistant and breathable) A Antistatic Range 100kΩ - 1000MΩ FO Resistance to fuel oil of outsole WR Water Resistant CR Cut Resistant Upper HI Heat Insulation of Sole Complex AN Ankle Protection LG Ladder Grip SC Scuff Cap Abrasion – tested to 1,000 abrasion cycles M Metatarsal Protection 100J Impact Energy SLIP RESISTANCE SR New 2023 rating to replace SRA, SRB & SRC. Tested on a ceramic tile surface with glycerine. The heel & forepart has also been tested, not just the flat. SRA Tested on ceramic tile contamination with Sodium Lauryl Sulphate SRB Tested on smooth steel contamination with glycerol SRC Passes both SRA and SRB Slip Tests OCCUPATIONAL FOOTWEAR OB Basic requirements for occupational footwear met (contains no protective toe cap) O1 As OB plus oil resistant sole, closed and energy absorbing seat region, and antistatic O2 As O1 plus water penetration resistance and cleated sole O3 As O2 plus penetration resistance and cleated sole O4 As OB plus oil resistant sole, energy absorbing seat region, antistatic O5 As O4 plus penetration resistance and cleated sole SAFETY STANDARDS: Safety footwear conforming to EN ISO 20345:2011 standards give 200 Joule toe protection. The EN ISO 20345 standard for safety footwear has been updated in 2022, superseding the previous 2011 update. Slip Resistance has now been considered mandatory, therefore all safety footwear passing the 2022 standards is slip resistant. There is an option for an additional slip test to be carried out, which will be marked with an SR symbol. A new Scuff Cap Abrasion test has been added to establish the capabilities of protecting the toe cap. Also a Ladder Grip test assesses the footwear on ladder rungs to a firefighter standard. Please note that the tests for Puncture Resistance has changed to differentiate between steel and non-metallic plates (See notes for P, PL and PS above). Please note that the 2011 certification is still valid, so the standards will run side by side until all safety footwear is re-tested to the new standards. No official end date has been given to the 2011 standards.
