"O"

CSN ISO EN 20347

The standard specifies work shoes for professional use, which are designated by the letter "O". The basic parameter of work shoes is that they do not have a built-in steel toe cap.

We further divide work shoes into the following categories:

O

the footwear meets only the basic requirements

O1

antistatic properties, sole resistance to fuels, energy absorption of the heel part

O2

same as O1 + water penetration and absorption

O3

same as O2 + puncture resistance

"P"

CSN ISO EN 20346

The standard specifies protective footwear for professional use, which is designated by the letter "P". The basic parameter of protective footwear is a built-in steel toecap resistant to 100J impact.

We further divide protective footwear into the following categories:

PB

the footwear meets only the basic requirements

P1

antistatic properties, sole resistance to fuels, energy absorption of the heel part

P2

same as P1 + water penetration and absorption

P3

same as P2 + puncture resistance

"WITH"

CSN ISO EN 20345

It specifies safety footwear for professional use, which is designated by the letter "S". The basic parameter of safety footwear is a built-in steel toecap resistant to 200J impact.

We further divide safety footwear into the following categories:

SB

the footwear meets only the basic requirements

S1

antistatic properties, sole resistance to fuels, energy absorption of the heel part

S2

same as S1 + water penetration and absorption

S3

same as S2 + puncture resistance

S4

as with S2 for footwear, they consist exclusively of rubber (vulcanized) or polymers (sprayed)

S5

as with S3 for footwear, they consist exclusively of rubber (vulcanized) or polymers (sprayed)

AND

Antistatic shoes

E

Energy absorption in the heel

P

Puncture resistance

WHOSE

Cold resistance

HI

CR

Shoe upper cut protection

M

Instep protection against impact
