Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards

bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out

through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical

committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International

organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.

ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of

electrotechnical standardization.

The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are

described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the

different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the

editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of

patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of

any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 22568-4: 2019), which has been

technically revised.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:

• Table 2, changes in the type names from X and Y to PL and PS, new requirements (“tent effect” and

minimum value of 950N)
• New nail see Figure B.1 (conical shape instead of pyramidal)

Introduction

ISO DIS 20345:2020, ISO DIS 20346:2021 and ISO DIS 20347:2021 are related to safety, protective

and occupational footwear which define the performance and required properties of the footwear.

On introducing these standards all national standards relating to perforation resistant inserts were

withdrawn leaving the manufacturers of these items with no means of demonstrating the performance

of their products. This document has been prepared to allow manufacturers to demonstrate the type of

the perforation resistant inserts before being inserted into the footwear.

Non-metallic perforation resistant inserts and materials complying with the requirements of this

document are suitable components of “PPE footwear”.

4 Requirements for non-metallic perforation resistant inserts
4.1 General

Depending on the footwear construction, the non-metallic perforation resistant inserts could be in

contact with the wearer foot, therefore the requirements of ISO DIS 20345:2020, ISO DIS 20346:2020

and ISO DIS 20347:2020 should be taken into account (for example abrasion resistance, water

absorption, innocuousness).

Perforation resistant material can be tested in accordance with this document, even in an unshaped

status, if it is intended to be cut and/or shaped by the footwear or sole manufacturer. When shaped

non-metallic perforation resistant inserts are tested in accordance with this document, their suitability

to fit into footwear is not assured, because the dimensional conformity to the footwear depends on the

individual shape of each model of footwear.
Table 1 — Summary of requirements and number of samples
Property Subclause Number of samples Status
Non-metallic material: 1 sample
Resistance to nail
4.2 mandatory
perforation
Ready –shaped inserts: 1 sample
Non-metallic material: 1 sample
Flexing resistance 4.3 mandatory
Ready – shaped inserts: 2 different
sizes
Non-metallic material: 1 sample for
Stability against ageing
each test
and environmental 4.4 mandatory
Ready –shaped inserts: 1 sample for
influence
each test
Electrical resistance 4.5 Non-metallic material: 1 sample optional
NOTE For details, see 4.2 to 4.5.

For each of the required measurements performed in accordance with this standard, a corresponding

estimate of the uncertainty of measurement should be evaluated. One of the following approaches shall

be used:
[2]
— a statistical method, e.g. that given in ISO 5725-2 ;
[4]
— a mathematical method, e.g. that given in ISO/IEC Guide 98-3 ;
[5]
— uncertainty and conformity assessment as given in ISO/IEC Guide 98-4 ;
[6]
— JCGM 100:2008 .
4.2 Resistance to nail perforation

When the non-metallic perforation resistant inserts are tested in accordance with the applicable

methods described in 5.1, they shall meet one of the two types given in Table 2.

---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
oSIST prEN ISO 22568-4:2021
ISO/DIS 22568-4:2021(E)
Table 2 — Minimum requirements for the perforation force
Types Test method Requirements
Perforation test (see A.4); the four results reported shall be
“pass” with a force of 1100N
Type PL See 5.1.1
No ”tent effect” shall occur
Perforation force (B.4)

Type PS See 5.1.2 the average value reported shall be greater or equal to 1 100 N

No single value shall be lower than 950N

NOTE This property has two types in term of the protection afforded. This covers the degree of risk or hazard that a user

will face in terms of the type of working places. Type PS offers more appropriate protection from smaller diameter and

sharper objects than type PL
4.3 Flexing resistance

When tested in accordance with the method described in 5.2, the non-metallic perforation resistant

insert shall exhibit no visible signs of cracking, disintegration or delamination after having been

subjected to 1 × 10 (one million) flexion cycles.
4.4 Stability against ageing and environmental influence

When subjected to each single one of the 4 treatments described in 5.3 and tested in accordance

with the method described in 5.1, the non-metallic perforation resistant insert shall conform to the

requirements of 4.2.
4.5 Electrical resistance

This property is optional and frequently requested when the non-metallic perforation resistant inserts

are supposed to be used in a footwear with electrical properties (ISO DIS 20345:2020, 6.2.2.1 and

6.2.2.2).

The results of this test, see 5.4, is given as an information, this document does not fix requirements.

5 Test methods for the non-metallic perforation tests
5.1 Determination of perforation resistance
5.1.1 Method PL: with conical nail 4,5 mm diameter
The test method described in Annex A shall be used.
5.1.2 Method PS: with conical nail 3.0 mm diameter
