Introduction
[2]
ISO 20345, ISO 20346 and ISO 20347 are related to safety, protective and occupational footwear
which define the performance and required properties of the footwear. On introducing these standards
all national standards relating to safety toecaps were withdrawn leaving the manufacturers of these
items with no means of demonstrating the performance of their products. This document has been
prepared to allow manufacturers to demonstrate the performance level of the toecaps before being
inserted into the footwear.
Non-metallic toecaps complying with the requirements of this document are suitable components of
“PPE footwear”.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents).

Introduction
ISO 20345, ISO 20346 and ISO 20347 relate to safety, protective and occupational footwear which define
the performance and required properties of the footwear. On introducing these standards all national
standards relating to safety toecaps were withdrawn leaving the manufacturers of these items with
no means of demonstrating the performance of their products. This international Standard has been
prepared to allow manufacturers to demonstrate the performance level of the toecaps before being
inserted into the footwear.
This standard is a part of a series of 4 standards dealing with toecaps and anti-perforation inserts.
— ISO 22568 part1 Foot and leg protectors — Requirements and test methods for footwear
components– metallic toecaps
— ISO 22568 part2 Foot and leg protectors — Requirements and test methods for footwear components
– non-metallic toecaps
— ISO 22568 part3 Foot and leg protectors — Requirements and test methods for footwear components
– metallic perforation resistant insert
— ISO 22568 part4 Foot and leg protectors — Requirements and test methods for footwear
components– non-metallic perforation resistant insert
Non-metallic toecap complying with the requirements of this standard are suitable components of “PPE
footwear”. They do not guarantee the suitability of the readymade footwear which must be proven to
the requirements of the relevant harmonized footwear standards.

NOTE For details, see 4.2 to 4.4.
NOTE The provisions of 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5 and 4.6 do not exclude a non-metallic toecap design incorporating
perforations.
For each of the required measurements performed in accordance with this standard, a corresponding
estimate of the uncertainty of measurement should be evaluated. One of the following approaches shall
be used:
[2]
— a statistical method, e.g. that given in ISO 5725-2 ;;
[3]
— a mathematical method, e.g. that given in ISO/IEC Guide 98-3 ;
[4]
— uncertainty and conformity assessment as given in ISO/IEC Guide 98-4

— JCGM 100:2008
4.2 Finishing
Non-metallic toecaps shall be finished so as to be free from surface marks or defects and shall be free
from burrs and sharp edges and defects of splitting or delaminating between material layers.
4.3 Dimensions
4.3.1 Internal length
When measured in accordance with the method described in 5.2.1, the internal length of non-metallic
toecaps shall be not less than the appropriate value given in Table 2.

NOTE The above numbering system for toecaps is not identical to any numbering system for footwear.
4.3.2 Width of flange
If non-metallic toecaps are formed with a flange, the inside width of the flange (e) shall be not greater
than 10 mm using the test method given in 5.2.2.
4.4 Impact resistance
When non-metallic toecaps are tested in accordance with the method described in 5.3 at an energy
level of either (100 ± 2) J (non-metallic toecaps intended for protective footwear), or (200 ± 4) J (non-
metallic toecaps intended for safety footwear), the clearance under the cap at the moment of impact
shall be not less than the appropriate value given in Table 3. In addition the non-metallic toecap shall
not develop sharp edges or any cracks passing through the material (i.e. through which light can be

intended for protective footwear) or (15 ± 0,15) kN (non-metallic toecaps intended for safety footwear)
shall not be less than the appropriate value given in Table 3. In addition the non-metallic toecap shall
not develop sharp edges or any cracks passing through the material (i.e. through which light can be
seen) or delamination. Non-metallic toecap designed with perforations does not have to follow the last
requirement.
4.6 Stability against ageing and environmental influence
When non-metallic toecaps are subject to each single one of the treatments described in 5.5 and
thereafter tested in accordance with the method described in 5.3 at an energy level of either (100 ± 2) J
