Portwest Safety Work Boots EN Standards

Innovation, quality components and expert construction define the Portwest Steelite footwear collection.

The toe cap protects the wearer's toes against risk of injury from falling objects and crushing when worn in work environments where potential hazards may occur. The midsole protects agains the foot being pierced by underfoot objects.

SAFETY FOOTWEAR CAN BE RECOGNISED BY THE FOLLOWING STANDARD:
EN ISO 20345: 2004

THE CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM USED TO IDENTIFY THE PROTECTION PROVIDED BY PORTWEST STEELITE FOOTWEAR IS LISTED BELOW:

SB    The presence of a safety toecap providing protection against impact injury to the toes caused by
          falling objects. Level of protection is 200 Joules.  Prevention  of compression injury to the
          toes if trapped under a heavy object. Level of protection is 15kN.

SBP   As SB standard plus penetration resistance.

S1      As SB plus closed seat region. Anti static properties and energy absorption of seat region.

S1P   As S1 standard plus penetration resistance.

S2     As S1 standard plus water penetration and water absorption resistance.

S3     As S2 standard plus cleated outsole and penetration resistance.

S4     200 Joule toecap protection. All rubber or all polymeric footwear with anti static properties.
          Energey absorption of seat region.

S5     As S4 standard plus cleated outsole and penetration resistance.

 

Portwest Safety Work Boots - Slip Resistance

EN13289
This European Sandard specifies a method of test for the slip resistance of conventionally soled safety, protective and occupational footwear. It is not applicable to a special purpose footwear containing spikes, metal studs or similar.

The item of footwear to be tested is put on a surface, subjected to a given normal force and moved horizontally relative to the surface. The frictional force is measured and the dynamic coefficient of friction is calculated. If the outsole passes both the ceramic tile test (SRA) and the steel floor test (SRB) it is marked as SRC.

 

 The above standards apply to all Portwest safety work boots and shoes.
