Did you know...that the EN ISO 20345 standard has changed since 2022?
Slip resistance
EN ISO 20345:2011
-
Slip resistance had three different ratings: SRA, SRB and SRC. SRA outsoles were tested on a ceramic floor wetted with a soap solution. SRB outsoles were tested on a steel surface wetted with an oily solution (glycerin).
-
SRC outsoles passed both the SRA + SRB test.
EN ISO 20345:2022
The slip-resistance test on a ceramic floor with a soap solution is from now on a basic requirement for all safety shoes, so no marking will be added. An extra slip-resistant test on a ceramic floor with glycerin (an oily solution) can be carried out as an additional requirement and will be marked SR.
EN ISO 20345:2022
-
The P marking is now used only for metallic midsoles. Shoes with non-metallic midsoles (fabric or nonwoven midsoles) are now marked PL or L / PS or S, depending on the type of nail. PL or L = puncture test passed with a nail of 4.5mm
-
PS or S = puncture test passed with a nail of 3mm
Fuel & oil resistance
This is no longer a mandatory requirement. If the outsole is fuel & oil resistant, it is marked FO.
WRU becomes WPA
Shoes with a water-resistant upper are now marked as WPA. WPA refers to the water penetration and absorption tests that are performed to determine the water resistance of the upper.
