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 document 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).
ISO draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). ISO takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent
rights in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, ISO had not received notice of (a)
patent(s) which may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that
this may not represent the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at
www.iso.org/patents. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the World Trade
Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see www.iso.org/iso/foreword.html.
This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 94, Personal safety — Personal protective
equipment, Subcommittee SC 3, Foot protection, in collaboration with the European Committee for
Standardization (CEN) Technical Committee CEN/TC 161, Foot and leg protectors, in accordance with the
Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement).
Any feedback or questions on this document should be directed to the user’s national standards body. A

AMENDMENT 1
Clause 2 Normative references
Update the reference to “ISO 20344:2021” with “ISO 20344:2021+Amd.1:2024” and update the references
throughout the document accordingly.
Clause 2 Normative references
Change the title of EN 13832-3:2018 to read as follows:
“Footwear protecting against chemicals — Part 3: Requirements for prolonged contact with chemicals”
5.1, Table 2
In the section “Upper”, add an “X” in the last two cells of the row “Tear strength” to read as follows:
Tear strength 5.4.3 X X X
In the section “Upper”, add an “X” in the last two cells of the row “Water vapour permeability and coefficient”,
to read as follows:
Water vapour permeabili- 5.4.6 X X X
ty and coefficient
5.3.2.5
Replace the subclause with the following:
“When non-metallic toecaps are tested according to ISO 20344:2021+Amd.1:2024, 5.6.2 at an impact
energy of (200 ± 4) J, the clearance under the toecap, at the moment of impact, shall not be less than
the appropriate value given in ISO 22568-2:2019, 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).
During the assessment of the non-metallic toecap designed with perforations the criteria whether light
can be seen shall not be applied to the perforation.”
nd
5.3.2.6, 2 sentence
Delete the words “delamination or” to read as follows:
“In addition, the toecap shall not develop any cracks, which go through the material, i.e. through which

5.3.6, 3 paragraph
Replace the paragraph with the following:
“For each leather part tested in accordance with ISO 20344:2021+Amd.1:2024, 6.11, the chromium VI
content shall be less than 3,0 mg/kg.”
nd
5.4.1.1, 2 sentence
Add the wording “, except for water vapour permeability and water vapour coefficient (see 5.4.6).” to the end of
the sentence, to read as follows:
“Any materials in the upper below the height defined in Table 8 shall meet the requirements of the upper
(see Table 2), except for water vapour permeability (WVP) and water vapour coefficient (WVC) (see
5.4.6).”
5.4.1.2
Replace the text above Figure 6 with the following:
“Hybrid footwear (3.19) consists of two classes of materials: foot section, Area A, class II material and
extended section, area B, class I material.
The Area A, shall be measured as H, between the lowest point of the top of the visible polymer (or rubber)
part and the ground (see Figure 6) and shall have a minimum height corresponding to the values given
in Table 8 for design B. All material extensions above belong to area B.
All materials shall meet the requirements of the upper depending on the class of material (see Table 2).”
