ASTM F2413 Test for Protective Toe Shoe

EUROLAB laboratory provides testing and compliance services within the scope of ASTM F2413 standard. This standard describes the requirements and test methods for foot protection.

The specification described in this standard includes minimum design, performance, testing and classification requirements, and sets out the suitability, function and performance criteria for shoes designed to protect against a variety of potential workplace hazards.

Shoes produced in accordance with this specification must meet performance requirements in the following areas:

• Impact resistance for the toe area of ​​the shoe
• Compression resistance for the toe area of ​​the shoes
• Metatarsal protection that reduces the possibility of injury to the bones in the upper part of the foot
• Conductive properties that reduce hazards from static electricity build-up and reduce the likelihood of igniting explosive and volatile chemicals
• Electric shock resistance
• Static energy consuming features to reduce the dangers arising from extreme low shoe resistance in places where shoes are used.
• Puncture resistance of shoe soles
• Chainsaw cut resistance
• Dielectric insulation

The ASTM F2413 standard covers minimum requirements for the performance of footwear to protect against a variety of work environment hazards that could potentially cause injury.

Controlled laboratory tests used to determine compliance with the performance requirements of this specification are not considered to establish performance levels for all hazards to which persons are exposed. In addition, this specification is not intended as a detailed production or purchasing specification. That's why it's only referenced in contracts to ensure that minimum performance requirements are met.
