- SAFETY STANDARDS
What are the standards for
Safety shoes ?ISO STANDARDS
EN ISO 20344 : Test methods for safety shoes
Standards summarizing all the tests and test methods performed on safety shoes before they are placed on the market. This Standard is used in conjunction with EN ISO 20345 and EN ISO 20347 which define the basic and additional requirements for safety footwear
EN ISO 20345 : Specification of safety shoes for professional use
This international standard specifies the basic and additional (optional) requirements for general purpose safety footwear. The safety shoe is equipped with a safety toe resistant to impacts equivalent to 200 joules and crushing of 15 KNEN ISO 20347 : Specifications for work footwear for professional use
This footwear is different from safety footwear by the fact that these do not have toe caps against injury from falling objects or crushing impacts
SLIP RESISTANCE
SYMBOLS & TYPES OF FLOORS
SRA Hard industrial indoor floors (tile type)
SRB Hard industrial indoor or outdoor floors
(paint or resin type)
SRC SRA + SRB = SRC indoor or outdoor floors
(polyvalent type)GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
ADDITIONAL SPECIFICATIONS
In addition, there are particular markings for particular specifications :
AN : Protection of the malleolus
C : Conductive because electrical resistance does not exceed 100kW
CI : Cold insulation
CR : Upper cut resistant
ESD : Dissipative shoe
HI : Heat insulation
HRO : Heat resistant outsole up to 300°C (for 60 seconds)
M : Metatarsus protection against choc impacts
WR : Water resistant (waterproof)RECOMMENDED STORAGE CONDITIONS
We recommend storing safety shoes as follows :
- Do not compress or bend
- Do not store near steam pipes, radiators or other sources of artificial heat or expose directly sunlight, artificial light or other sources of ozone
- Storage ambient temperature must be between 10° C and 21° C. Storage temperature should not exceed 35° C

CE - EN149EN ISO 149 : Specification of respiratory protection devices (filtering half-masks):
This standard specifies the minimum characteristics to be required of filtering half-masks used as respiratory protection devices against particles. It defines three classes of filtration efficiency, namely FFP1, FFP2 and FFP3* TIL : Leaking of the ambiant atmosphere into the respiratory interface mesured in laboratory
** FPN : Nominal Protection Factor corresponds to the level of protection tested in the laboratory. The nivel of APF, Assigned Protection Factor, might be different according local regulationsWhat are the standards for
Protective Clothing (body protection) ?HIGH VISIBILITY CLOTHING
EN ISO 20471 :This standard specifies the requirements for protective clothing aiming to signal the presence of the wearer visually, so that he may be detected and seen in hazardous situations, in all conditions of daylight, and night under illumination of car headlights. There are three classes of high-visibility colthing. Each class must have minimum surfaces of visible material constituing the garnment. The higher the class, the more visible the garnment.
Marking :
X : Class of high visiblity surface (From 1 to 3)PROTECTIVE CLOTHING AGAINST RAIN
EN ISO 343 :This standard specifies the requirements and test methods applicable to the materials and seams of protective clothing against foul weather (for example precipitation in the form of rain or snow), fog and ground humidity
X : Résistance to water penetration, Wp
X : Water vapour resistance, RetWhat are the standards for
Disposable Coverall (chemical protection) ?EN ISO 13034 :
Protective clothing against liquid chemicals (splashes)
EN ISO 13982-1 :
Protective clothing for use against solid particules (dust-asbestos)
EN ISO 14605 :
Protective clothing for use against liquid chemicals (sprays-fogs)
EN ISO 1149-5 :
Protective clothing to dissipate static electricity
EN ISO 1073-2 :Protective clothing against radioactive contamination
EN ISO 14126 :Protective clothing against infective agents
What are the standards for
Safety helmets (head protection) ?
EN ISO 397 : Safety helmets for the industryMandatory Tests :
Impact * : The force transmitted to the test head must not exceed 5kN when a 5kg object falls from a height of 1m
Penetration* : The point of the test mass (3kg at 1m) must not come into contact with the skull
Flammability : The helmet must not burn for more than 5 seconds after the flame is removed
*Impact and penetration tests must be conducted at -10°C, ambient temperature, and +50°C
Optional Tests :
Extreme Temperatures : Impact and penetration tests are conducted at ambient temperature, +150°C, -20°C, or -30°C
Electrical Contact Protection : Protects against accidental short-term contact with live electrical conductors up to 440VAC
Lateral Compression Protection : The maximum deformation of the helmet must be less than or equal to 40mm
Resistance to molten metal splashEN ISO 50365 : Electrically insulating helmets for use in low voltage environments
Mandatory Tests :
Electrically Insulating Helmets for use on or near live installations not exceeding 1000VAC or 1500VDC (Electrical Class 0)
When used together with other electrically insulating protective equipment, these helmets prevent dangerous currents from passing through the body via the head
These optional electrical insulation tests are more stringent than those of the EN397 standard and complement them (marked with two triangles, Class 0)EN ISO 812 : Head protection bumper caps for the industry
Mandatory Tests :
Impact * : This PPE protects against impacts from collisions with structures or objects. It does not protect against impacts resulting from the fall of an object
The impact energy on the helmet peak at the end of the test reaches 12.25J
Penetration* : The point of the test mass (0.5kg at 0.5m) must not come into contact with the skull
*Impact and penetration tests must be conducted at -10°C, ambient temperature, and +50°C
Optional Tests :
Extreme Temperatures : Impact and penetration tests are conducted at ambient temperature, -20°C, or -30°C
Electrical Contact Protection : Protects against accidental short-term contact with live electrical conductors up to 440VAC
