These are used to designate conductive (Cd) properties, electrical hazard resistance properties (EH), footwear designed to reduce the accumulation of excess static electricity (SD), and puncture resistance (PR). Line 3 is used to identify footwear made to protect against the specific hazards described in the standard Cd, EH, SD, PR, Mt. It also identifies the existence of impact resistance (I), the impact resistance rating (75, 50 or 30 foot-pounds), compression resistance (C), and the compression resistance rating (75, 50, or 30, which correlate to 2500 pounds, 1750 pounds, and 1000 pounds of compression respectively). This line identifies the applicable gender for which the footwear is intended. It indicates that the protective footwear meets the performance requirements of ASTM F2413, issued in 2011. The following is an example of an ASTM F2413-11 marking on protective footwear: Each metatarsal and puncture-resistant device must be marked with the manufacturer’s name, trademark or logo, and device number or identification in a conspicuous location. The cap number or identification, toecap size, and R (right)/L (left) designation must be permanently stamped or marked in a conspicuous location. Line four is used only when more than three sections of the standard apply to the footwear.Įach protective toecap must be marked with the manufacturer’s name and trademark or logo. The marking must be enclosed in a rectangular border a four-line format is recommended. One shoe of each pair must be clearly and legibly marked (e.g., stitched in, stamped on, pressure sensitive label, etc.) on either the surface of the tongue, gusset, shaft, or quarter lining. Following these assessments, the requirements of additional sections-such as metatarsal protection, conductive protection, electric hazard resistance, static dissipative protection, and protection against punctures-can be met.Īll footwear manufactured to the ASTM specification must be marked with the specific portion of the standard with which it complies. The purpose of this standard is to summarize the requirements for certifying protective footwear by independent, third party laboratories.įootwear certified as meeting ASTM F2413-11 must first meet the requirements of Section 5.1: Impact Resistant Footwear and Section 5.2: Compression Resistant Footwear. Footwear conforming to this specification must meet the performance requirements for the following: impact resistance for the toe area compression resistance for the toe area metatarsal protection that reduces the chance of injury to the metatarsal bones at the top of the foot conductive properties that reduce hazards resulting from static electricity build-up and reduce the possibility of igniting explosives and volatile chemicals electric shock resistance static dissipative (SD) properties to reduce hazards caused by exceedingly low footwear resistance that may exist where SD footwear is required puncture resistance of footwear bottoms chainsaw cut resistance and dielectric insulation. Instead, this specification can be referenced in purchase contracts to ensure that minimum performance requirements are met. It is not the intention of this specification to serve as a detailed manufacturing or purchasing specification. This specification covers the minimum design, performance, testing, and classification requirements, and prescribes fit, function, and performance criteria for footwear designed to protect against a variety of workplace hazards.
ASTM F2413-11: Standard specification for performance requirements for protective (safety) toecap footwear.ĪSTM F2413-11 Standard specification for performance requirements for protective (safety) toecap footwear replaces the former ANSI Z41 standard, which was withdrawn in 2005.
