FORESTRY SAFETY FOOTWEAR: UNDERSTANDING STANDARDS AND THEIR EVOLUTION

EN ISO 20345:2022 — What has changed?

Safety footwear standards evolve to better define performance requirements and make protective features easier to identify.

Slip resistance, penetration resistance, water resistance, new S6 and S7 categories… The revision of EN ISO 20345 introduced several important changes to safety requirements and footwear markings.

For forestry professionals, it is also essential to distinguish between general safety footwear requirements and those relating specifically to protection against cuts from hand-held chainsaws.

FRANCITAL provides an illustrated guide to help you understand these changes and interpret the markings on your protective footwear.
