Footwear Safety Standards Explained

All safety footwear must meet the minimum safety standards are set out by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The current standard for Safety Footwear across Britain (BS) and Europe (EN) is BS EN ISO 20345:2022, which is identical to ISO 20345:2021. It supersedes BS EN ISO 20345:2011, which will be withdrawn on 31 March 2023. Despite EN ISO 20345:2022 being the most recent standard, most of our products are still only certified under EN ISO 20345:2011.

Do You Need Flame Retardant (FR) Workwear?

Flame retardant workwear refers to any garment that is specifically designed to be less likely to catch fire and to protect the wearer from flames and thermal injury. When exposed to fire, a lot of fabrics will ignite and continue to burn, or even melt onto skin. Flame retardant workwear is specially designed so that if it does ignite, it won’t continue to burn once the heat source is removed. This gives the wearer valuable time to minimize injuries. Workwear that is flame retardant is generally also designed so that it doesn’t break open when heated, which would expose the skin to further hazard and result in a potential increase to the severity of injuries.
