ISO/TC 94/SC 3 - Foot protection

This document specifies basic and additional (optional) requirements for occupational footwear used for general purpose. It includes, for example, mechanical risks, slip resistance, thermal risks, ergonomic behaviour. It also specifies requirements for occupational footwear equipped with customized insocks, customized occupational footwear or individual manufactured customized occupational footwear. This standard does not cover the property of high visibility because of interaction with the clothing (e.g. trousers cover the footwear) and work area conditions (e.g. dirt, mud). Special risks are covered by complementary job-related standards (e.g. footwear for firefighters, electrical insulating footwear, protection against chain saw injuries, protection against chemicals and against molten metal splash, protection for motorcycle riders).

Cancels and replaces the first edition (1984). Lays down requirements for two grades of resin rubber and high-hardness rubber soling materials, for soling without a heavy pattern, for use on footwear: grade 1 - men's, boys' and girls' footwear; grade 2 - women's footwear, footwear for light use, such as indoor footwear, including slippers.

Cancels and replaces the first edition (1973). Specifies requirements for lined industrial vulcanized-rubber ankle, half-knee, short-knee and knee-height boots, for men and women, and lined rubber boots of three-quarter and full-thigh height for men. Does not cover the style of boot.

Slip resistance, expressed as the coefficient of friction of the footwear, is determined by placing the footwear on the testing surface (floor), with glycerine present as lubricant, applying a given load and either moving the footwear horizontally in relation to the surface or moving the surface in relation to the footwear. The frictional forces are measured and the dynamic coefficient of friction is calculated.
