Introduction
ISO 20345, ISO 20346 and ISO 20347 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national standards relating to perforation resistant inserts were withdrawn leaving the manufacturers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 20345, ISO 20346 and ISO 20347 should
be taken into account (for example abrasion resistance, water absorption).

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.

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.
Table 2 — Minimum requirements for the perforation force
Types Test method Requirements
Perforation test (see A.4)
Type Y See 5.1.1
the four results reported shall be “pass”
Perforation force (B.4)
Type X See 5.1.2
the average value reported shall be greater or equal to 1 100 N
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 X offers more appropriate
protection from smaller diameter and sharper objects than type Y.
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
6
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 an antistatic or conductive footwear (ISO 20345:2011, 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 resistant inserts
5.1 Determination of perforation resistance
5.1.1 Method Y: with conical nail
The test method described in Annex A shall be used.
5.1.2 Method X: with pyramidal nail
The test method described in Annex B shall be used.
5.2 Determination of flexing resistance
5.2.1 Apparatus
Flexing apparatus, comprising a suitable flexing guide (e.g. a pair of bars) to move the free end of the
non-metallic perforation resistant insert through a specified distance at a defined rate and a clamping
device consisting of two elastic interlayers approximately 4 mm thick and of Shore A hardness 75 ± 5
with two metal clamping plates at least 130 mm wide.
In the zero position, the guide acts at a distance of (70 ± 1) mm from the clamping plates (see Figure 1).

In case of ready-shaped non-metallic perforation resistant inserts, samples of two different sizes shall
be tested. For unshaped material cut out two suitable test pieces, giving them a shape similar to a
typical insole of approximate size 41 − 42 (Paris Point).
5.2.2.2 Determination of the flexing line
Lay the non-metallic perforation resistant insert with its inner edge against a straight line in such a
way that this line is at a tangent to the insert in the joint and heel regions. At the tangent to the joint
construct a perpendicular. This line is the flexing line at which the insert is clamped (see Figure 2).

If necessary, cut off the heel part of the non-metallic perforation resistant insert at a distance of at least
90 mm from the flexing line (see Figure 2 and 5.2.2.2).
5.2.3 Test procedure

For ready-shaped non-metallic perforation resistant inserts, the two results for the two different sizes
shall be reported.
In case of unshaped material, the 2 results shall be reported.
5.2.5 Test report
The test report shall include the following information:
