Slip resistance is highly dependent on the test conditions, and the particular
combination of surface and contaminant. It would therefore be prudent to test
footwear, as far as is practicable, against real-life surfaces and other
challenges.
Caution should be applied when testing or using footwear on profiled floors.
Such combinations may give the impression of providing slip resistance through
friction; in many cases this impression could be misleading. Specific tread
patterns may interlock with profiled floors. This interaction can change
quickly with even a small amount of wear.
The values indicated in the table below correspond to the minimum coefficient
of friction requirement for slip resistance according to the standard EN ISO
20345:2022 and EN ISO 20347:2022.

If there are none of these additional marks, the risks described above are
not covered.
These guarantees are valid for footwear in good condition and the company
cannot be held responsible for any usage not provided for within the framework
of this current information notice. Ne ask that you read the following
carefully in order to make the best possible use of the professional footwear
you have just received.
If the footwear is supplied with a removable insock, testing was carried
out with the in sock in place.
Footwear should only be the insock in place and the ins ock shall only be
replaced by a comparable insock supplied by the original footwear man If the
footwear is supplied without an insock, testing was carried out with no insock
present. Fitting an insock can affect the protective properties of the f
If the footwear is supplied with a part of, or the whole sole unit made of
polyurethane:
We advise that the footwear should be used in the limit of 3 years following
the manufacturing date, which figures on the footwear (label or
If the footwear is supplied with a sole unit made from a material other
than polyurethane:
We advise that the footwear should be used in the limit of 5 years following
the manufacturing date, which figures on the footwear (label or In both cases,
after this time limit, certain factors such as: exposure to sunlight,
hydrometry, temperature changes, could cause a modification in the structure
of the ma terial, which would no longer maintain the same performance levels
with regards to the requirements defined in the European Regulation (EU)
2016/425. These time limits in dicated, concern only new footwear in their
original packaging, kept in a controlled stock area, not subject to rapid
changes in temperature or humidity levels.
This footwear has been designed and made taking your requirements into account and we hope that they will serve you well. If the footwear has perforation resistance:
The perforation resistance of this footwear has been measured in the laboratory using standardized nails and forces. Nails of smaller diameter and higher static or dynam ic loads will increase the risk of perforation occurring. In such circumstances, additional preventative measures should be considered. Three generic types of perforation resistant inserts are currently available in PPE footwear. These are metal types and from non-metal materials, which shall be ch osen on basis of a job-related risk assessment. All types give protection against perforation risks, but each has different additional advantages or disadvantages including the following :
If footwear has antistatic features, it is essential that the following
recommendations are observed:
“Antistatic footwear should be used if it is necessary to minimize
electrostatic build-up by dissipating electrostatic charges, thus avoiding the
risk of spark ignition of, for example, flammable substances and vapours, and
if the risk of electric shock from mains voltage equipment cannot be
completely eliminated from the workplace. Antistatic footwear introduces a
resistance between the foot and ground but may not offer complete protection.
Antistatic footwear is not suitable for work on live electrical installations.
It should be noted, however, that antistatic footwear cannot guarantee
adequate protection against electric shock from a static discharge as it only
introduces a resistance between foot and floor. If the risk of static
discharge electric shock, has not been completely eliminated, additional
measures to avoid these risks are essential. Such measures, as well as the
additional tests mentioned below, should be a routine part of the accident
prevention program at the workplace. Antistatic footwear will not provide
protection against electric shock from AC or DC voltages.
If the risk of being exposed to any AC or DC voltage exists, then electrical insulating footwear shall be used to protect from against serious injury. The electrical resistance of antistatic footwear can be changed significantly by flexing, contamination or moisture. This footwear might not perform its intended function if worn in wet conditions.
Class I footwear can absorb moisture and can become conductive if worn for prolonged periods in moist and wet conditions. Class II footwear is resistant to moist and wet conditions and should be used is if the risk of exposure exists.
If the footwear is worn in conditions where the soling material becomes
contaminated, wearers should always check the antistatic properties of the
footwear before entering a hazard area.
Where antistatic footwear is in use, the resistance of the flooring should be
such that it does not invalidate the protection provided by the footwear.”
It is recommended to use an antistatic sock.
“It is, therefore, necessary to ensure, that the combination of the footwear its wearers and their environment is capable, to fulfil the designed function of dissipating electrostatic charges, and of giving some protection during its entire life. Thus, it is recommended, that the user establish an in-house test for electrical resistance, which is carried out at regular and frequent intervals.”
If footwear has partially conductive features, it is essential that the
following recommendations are observed:
“Electrically partially conductive footwear should be used if it is necessary
to minimize electrostatic charges in the shortest possible time, e.g. when
handling explosives. Electrically partially conductive footwear should not be
used, if the risk of shock from any electrical apparatus or live parts with AC
or DC voltages has not been completely eliminated. In order to ensure that
this footwear is partially conductive, it has been specified to have an upper
limit of resistance of 100 k in its new state. During service, the electrical
resistance of footwear made from conducting material can change significantly
due to flexing and contamination, and it is necessary to ensure, that the
product is capable of fulfilling its designed function of dissipating
electrostatic charges during its entire life. Where necessary, it is therefore
recommended, that the user establish an in-house test for electrical
resistance and use it at regular intervals. This test and those mentioned
below should be a routine part of the accident prevention program at the
workplace.
If the footwear is worn in conditions where the soling material becomes contaminated with substances that can increase the electrical resistance of the footwear, wearers should always check the electrical properties of their footwear before entering a hazard area. It is recommended to use an electrical dissipative sock.
The footwear shall not be modified, except for orthopedic adaptations
according to Annex A of the standard
Orthopedic changes and adjustments of safety footwear: If the safety
footwear acquired by you is with certain restrictions orthopedically
changeable and/or adaptable. Information about the orthopedic changes which
can be made according to the undergone prototype test and the certificate can
be found in the internet on the website
www.honeywellsafety.com together with a
reference of qualified partners, which take care on these changes.
