Safety Classes

Safety classes for safety shoes and occupational shoes.

Safety standards EN ISO 20345:2022 — Safety Footwear

Our safety shoes are certified according to the European standard EN ISO 20345:2011 or EN ISO 20345:2022. The products are marked with CE.

S

Shoes marked S have protective toecaps which will withstand 200 J of impact energy and 15 kN of pressure.

SC

Scuff cap resistant to abrasion

Class I

Footwear made from leather and other materials, excluding all-rubber or all-polymeric footwear.

SR

Slip resistant on ceramic tiles with glycerine

Class II
