Cut-resistant shoe (CR)
This test verifies the cut resistance of the entire shoe's materials. FootwearMechanical risk / PEEEN 388:2018 / EN ISO 20344 § 5.23 / EN ISO 20345 §6.2.8.3Metatarsal protection (M) - Impact resistance
This test verifies the impact resistance of toe protectors. FootwearMechanical risk / PEEEN ISO 20344 §5.20 / EN ISO 20345 §6.2.6.2Heat insulation of outsole complex (HI)
This test verifies a sole's ability to insulate from a hot environment. FootwearMechanical risk / PEEEN ISO 20344 §5.15 / EN ISO 20345 §6.2.3.1Cold insulation of outsole complex (CI)
This test verifies a sole's ability to insulate from a cold environment. FootwearMechanical risk / PEEEN ISO 20344 §5.16 / EN ISO 20345 §6.2.3.2Heel energy absorption capacity (E)
This test verifies the ability of a footing to dissipate shocks by deformation under a fixed stress. FootwearMechanical risk / PEEEN ISO 20344 §5.17 / EN ISO 20345 §6.2.4Water resistance (WR)

This test verifies protection against electrocution (moderate current) and limitation of electrostatic discharge. FootwearMechanical risk / PEEEN ISO 20344 §5.13 / EN ISO 20345 §6.2.2.2Slip resistance
This test is used to determine the slip resistance of a shoe sole on a floor/lubricant combination. FootwearMechanical risk / PEEEN ISO 20344 §5.14 / EN ISO 20344 §6.2.10 / EN ISO 20345 §5.3.5Special ergonomic features
This test assesses a product's ergonomic features. FootwearMechanical risk / PEEEN ISO 20344 §5.1 / EN ISO 20345 §5.3.4Waterproofing
This test assesses a product's watertightness. FootwearMechanical risk / PEEEN ISO 20344 §5.7 / ISO 20345 §5.3.3Behaviour of toecaps (thermal and chemical)
This test verifies impact resistance after conditioning in temperatures and chemical. FootwearMechanical risk / PEEEN ISO 20344 §5.6.2 / EN ISO 20345 §5.3.2.5Toecaps corrosion resistance
There should be no more than 3 corrosion points on the metal toecaps, none of which should be more than 2 mm long. FootwearMechanical risk / PEEEN ISO 20344 §5.6.2 / EN ISO 20345 §5.3.2.4Toe protection: impact resistance
This test verifies the impact resistance of toe protectors. FootwearMechanical risk / PEEEN ISO 20344 §5.4 / EN ISO 20345 §5.3.2.6Toe protection - Crush resistance
This test verifies the compression resistance of toe protectors. FootwearMechanical risk / PEEEN ISO 20344 §5.5 / EN ISO 20345 §5.3.2.7Upper/outsole bond strength
This test assesses the strength of bonded joints between stem and base. FootwearMechanical risk / PEEEN ISO 20344 §5.2 / EN ISO 20345 §5.3.1.2
