(Specification)Standard Specification for Performance Requirements for Protective (Safety) Toe Cap Footwear
Standard Specification for Performance Requirements for Protective (Safety) Toe Cap Footwear
ABSTRACT
This specification covers the minimum design, performance, testing, and classification requirements, and prescribes fit, function, and performance criteria for footwear designed to be worn to provide protection against a variety of workplace hazards that can potentially result in injury. It is not the intention of this specification to serve as a detailed manufacturing or purchasing specification, but can be referenced in purchase contracts to ensure that minimum performance requirements are met. Footwear conforming to this specification shall meet the performance requirements for the following: impact resistance for the toe area of footwear; compression resistance for the toe area of footwear; metatarsal protection that reduces the chance of injury to the metatarsal bones at the top of the foot; conductive properties which reduce hazards that may result from static electricity buildup, and reduce the possibility of ignition of explosives and volatile chemicals; electric shock resistance; static dissipative (SD) properties to reduce hazards due to excessively low footwear resistance that may exist where SD footwear is required; puncture resistance of footwear bottoms; chain saw cut resistance; and dielectric insulation.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers minimum requirements for the performance of footwear to provide protection against a variety of workplace hazards that can potentially result in injury.
1.2 This specification is not intended to serve as a detailed manufacturing or purchasing specification, but can be referenced in purchase contracts to ensure that minimum performance requirements are met.
1.3 Controlled laboratory tests used to determine compliance with the performance requirements of this specification shall not be deemed as establishing performance levels for all situations to which individuals may be exposed.
1.4 Any changes to the original components of safety toe footwear such as replacing or adding after market footbeds/inserts could cause failure to any or all parts of this standard rendering the ASTM marking invalid.
1.5 This specification is not applicable to overshoes with safety toe caps or strap on devices with safety toes.
1.6 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
1.7 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.8 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

INTRODUCTION
For more than sixty years, the predecessor to this specification, ANSI Z41, established the
performance criteria for a wide range of footwear to protect from hazards that affect the personal
safety of workers.
The value of these standards was recognized early in the history of Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA) and incorporated as a reference standard in the Code of Federal Regulations
(29 CFR Part 1910.132 and 29 CFR Part 1910.136).
The principal purpose of this standard is the certification of protective footwear. Certification must
be performed by independent third party laboratories in order for footwear to bear the ASTM marking.
The specification contains performance requirements for footwear to protect workers’ feet from the
following hazards by providing: (1) impact resistance (I) for the toe area of footwear; (2) compression
resistance (C) for the toe area of the footwear; (3) metatarsal impact protection (Mt) that reduces the
chance of injury to the metatarsal bones at the top of the foot; (4) conductive properties (Cd) which
reduce hazards that may result from static electricity buildup; and reduce the possibility of ignition of
explosives and volatile chemicals; (5) electric hazard protection (EH), to protect the wearer when
accidental contact is by stepping on live electric wires; (6) static dissipative properties (SD) to reduce
hazards due to excessively low footwear electrical resistance that may exist where SD footwear is
required; and (7) puncture resistance (PR) footwear devices.
1. Scope
1.1 This specification covers minimum requirements for the performance of footwear to provide protection against a variety of
workplace hazards that can potentially result in injury.
1.2 This specification is not intended to serve as a detailed manufacturing or purchasing specification, but can be referenced in
purchase contracts to ensure that minimum performance requirements are met.
1.3 Controlled laboratory tests used to determine compliance with the performance requirements of this specification shall not
be deemed as establishing performance levels for all situations to which individuals may be exposed.
1.4 Any changes to the original components of safety toe footwear such as replacing or adding after market footbeds/inserts
could cause failure to any or all parts of this standard rendering the ASTM marking invalid.
1.5 This specification is not applicable to overshoes with safety toe caps or strap on devices with safety toes.
1.6 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
1.7 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility
of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of
regulatory limitations prior to use.
