Testing innocuousness of safety footwear

Notified Body and Approved Body requirements for type-approval of safety footwear include evidence that harmful substances are not present in the components or materials.

EN ISO 20345:2022+A1:2024 – ‘Personal protective equipment – safety footwear’ specifies basic and optional requirements for general-purpose safety footwear. These are known as ‘innocuousness requirements’ and are a reference to the innocuousness clause in the PPE Regulation (EU) 2016/425.
