EN ISO 20345
Safety shoes and boots are a critical part of your workwear, and they need to help keep you safe as best possible should an accident occur. MASCOT's safety footwear certified under EN ISO 20345 protects your feet from abrasion, pressure and impact throughout the day. The standard is divided into four safety classes, which indicate the protection offered by the footwear.
EN ISO 20345:2022
EN ISO 20345: 2022 is the latest update to the EN ISO 20345 European standard. All of MASCOT’s safety footwear will gradually be re-certified according to this standard.
The standard is divided into different safety classes, specifying the requirements for protection. However, apart from the safety class, the safety footwear will also be certified in accordance with a number of other properties. MASCOT’s safety footwear certified according to this standard is not better than our safety footwear certified in accordance with EN ISO 20345:2011. It is just another way to certify the shoes and to indicate their properties.
Safety classes S1PL and S3S are the most common safety classes at MASCOT. Learn more about what each safety class covers:

EN ISO 20345:2011
Safety footwear that is certified according to EN ISO 20345:2011 will continue to have this certification until the certificate expires and the shoes need to be re-certified.
