In reference to standard EN ISO 20344, this European standard defines the basic and the additional
(optional) requirements for safety footwear for the workplace, marked «S». The safety shoe is
equipped with safety toe caps designed to withstand a maximum impact of 200 joules and crushing
up to 15 kN.

This standard defines the test methods for safety footwear, protective footwear, and occupational
shoes. It may be used only in conjunction with standards EN ISO 20345 and EN ISO 20347, which
specify the requirements for the shoes as a function of specific levels of risk involved.

Fall arrester with self-locking device and a self-retractable system for the lanyard. An energy reducer (absorber) can be built-in in the equipment.

Taking into account the level of risk covered, the Regulation defines the PPE categories and determines the various manufacturer’s obligations:
• PPE category 1: Protection against minor risks.
• PPE category 2: All PPE that are not category 1 or 3.
• PPE category 3: Protection against disability or fatality

It contains laboratory tests to check the conformity with resistance to impacts, to temperature, to humidity and corrosive atmospheres, and with mechanical and respiratory resistance.

It contains laboratory tests and practical performance tests to check the conformity with resistance to temperature, to impacts, to flame, to thermal radiation, to traction,
resistance to cleansers and disinfectants. Furthermore, the visual inspection must concern the marking and the manufacturers’ information guide.

89/391: Identify and assess the risk, take preventive and protective measures, inform and train the workers.

2004/37: Risks related to exposure to carcinogens or mutagens at work: hazard identifi cation, «limit values», respiratory protection.

89/656: Select and use the appropriate and compliant PPE, inform and train people, check and replace the PPE when necessary.

It contains laboratory tests and practical performance tests to check the conformity with resistance to impacts, to cleaners and disinfectants, to temperature, to flame and respiratory resistance.

This standard is specific to the standard connection system of the cartridge for full face masks.

It contains laboratory tests to check the conformity with resistance to handling and wear, to impacts, to flame and with respiratory resistance.

It contains laboratory tests to check the conformity with resistance to impacts, to temperature, to humidity and corrosive atmospheres and with mechanical and respiratory resistance.

It contains laboratory tests to check the conformity with resistance to impacts, to cleansers and disinfectants, to temperature, to fl ame and with respiratory resistance.

Its objective is to develop test methods and requirements in the form of standards defining the technical specifications of products. Some of them, mostly requirements standards, are harmonised with EU Regulation 2016/425. Compliance with these harmonised standards gives an assurance of compliance with the requirements of EU Regulation 2016/425

Mandatory

Impact*: force transmitted to the headform must not exceed 5 kN at the fall of an object of 5 kg from a 1 m height. The impact energy of the helmet at
the end of the test is 49 J.
Penetration*: the tip of the mass used in the test (3 kg over 1 m) must not come into contact with the skull.
Flammability: the helmet should not burn with fl ame emission more than 5 seconds after removal of the fl ame.
* The impact and penetration tests are performed at room temperature, at 50°C and at -10°C.

Optional

In extreme temperatures: impact and penetration tests are conducted at room temperature at 150°C, at -20°C or -30°C.
Protects against accidental short-term contact with a live electrical conductor up to 440 VAC.
Protects against lateral compression. The maximum deformation of the helmet should be ≤ 40 mm.
Resistance to molten metal splashes.
