ISO 20345 Footwear Safety Compliance Testing in Labs

ISO 20345 Footwear Safety Compliance Testing in Labs

The ISO 20345 standard is a cornerstone of footwear safety testing, ensuring that footwear products meet stringent performance requirements designed to protect workers from hazards such as impact, compression, and electric shock. This service focuses on laboratory-based testing aimed at confirming compliance with the provisions of ISO 20345 for various types of protective footwear.

Our state-of-the-art laboratories are equipped with industry-leading test rigs and calibrated instrumentation that replicate real-world conditions under which workers in high-risk environments would be exposed to hazards. This ensures accurate and reliable testing results, thereby providing confidence in the safety of footwear products.

The testing process involves several key stages, each designed to assess a specific aspect of footwear performance:

  • Impact resistance: Ensures that the footwear can absorb and dissipate energy from falling objects without compromising the foot.
  • Compression resistance: Tests the ability of the footwear to withstand heavy loads placed on it.
  • Electric hazard protection: Checks for electrical insulation properties ensuring protection against electric shock in hazardous environments.

For each test, we follow a rigorous protocol that includes detailed specimen preparation and calibration procedures. Our team of experts ensures that every aspect of the testing process adheres to ISO 20345 specifications, guaranteeing accurate and reliable results.

The data collected during these tests is meticulously analyzed using advanced statistical methods before being reported in comprehensive test certificates. These reports are not only a testament to the compliance but also provide valuable insights for continuous improvement of product design and manufacturing processes.

Our service extends beyond mere testing; it encompasses a full suite of support services aimed at helping our clients navigate the complexities of regulatory compliance. From initial consultation on selecting appropriate test methods, through detailed reporting and certification, we are committed to providing comprehensive assistance every step of the way.

By partnering with us for ISO 20345 footwear safety compliance testing in labs, you can rest assured that your products meet the highest standards of safety, thereby enhancing worker protection and compliance with international regulations.
