"O"

CSN ISO EN 20347

The standard specifies work shoes for professional use, which is indicated by the letter "O". The basic parameter of work shoes is that it does not have a steel must built in.

We then divide work shoes into the following categories:

O

footwear meets only the essential requirements

O1

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

O2

as with O1 + water penetration and absorption

O3

as with O2 + puncture resistance

"P"

CSN ISO EN 20346

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

Protective footwear is then further divided into the following categories:

Pb

footwear meets only the essential requirements

P1

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

P2

as with P1 + water penetration and absorption

P3

as with P2 + puncture resistance

"S"

CSN ISO EN 20345

Specifies safety footwear for professional use, which is indicated by the letter "S". The basic parameter of safety footwear is the built-in steel rubber resisting impact 200J.

Safety shoes are then further divided into the following categories:

Coll

footwear meets only the essential requirements

S1

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

S2

as with S1 + water penetration and absorption

S3

as with S2 + puncture resistance

S4

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

S5

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