- S1 = closed heel area, anti-electrostatic properties, energy absorption in the heel,
- S2 = S1 + resistance to permeability and water absorption,
- S3 = S2 + puncture resistance of the sole and thickness of the sole relief,
Explanation of codes indicating the degree of protection of safety shoes:
Finished footwear:- §P - puncture resistance with a force of 1100N,
- §C - conductive footwear,
- §A - anti-electrostatic footwear,
- §I - electro-insulating footwear,
- §HI - insulation from heat,
- §CI - insulation from cold,
- §E - energy absorption in the heel area,
- §WR - water resistance,
- §M - midfoot resistance.
- §WRU - top of footwear impermeable to water,
- §CR - cut resistance.
- §HRO - resistance to contact with hot ground up to 300 ℃.
