ISO standards for occupational footwear
There are two ISO standards for occupational and safety footwear, EN ISO 20344 and EN ISO 20345. The 20344 standard describes the means by which footwear must be tested. These are therefore the test procedures for safety, protective and occupational footwear. The definition of the basic requirements and additional requirements for safety footwear is standardised in 20345.
