safety features to EN - 345 - 1. |
safety features not tested Similar
to the lace-up Xcap boot |
- internal steel toe-cap resists impacts of 200 joules
with a clearance of 14mm (tested size 42), and crushing forces
up to 1,500 kg. This is not a protection to the rest of the foot,
where impacts often happen
-
other safety features
- anti static: resistance when new between 01 mega ohms
and a thousand mega ohms, although this varies with wetness and
wear
- energy absorption in the heel described as above 20
joules on standard tests
- water resistant upper with no penetration during an
hour of the standard test
- penetration resistant over 1,100 newtons to the mid sole
on standard tests
- anti-slip requirements to Italian standard UNI 8615/1

- external steel toe-cap resists impacts of 200 joules
with a clearance of 14mm on a size 8 and crushing forces up to
1,500 kg. This is not a protection to the rest of the foot, where
impacts often happen
-
- The toe cap has been tested in other boots and by itself,
but not tested while attached to these boots
- other safety features
anti-static but un-tested; the materials are the same
as boots that have been tested as anti-static
anti-slip sole has an obviously tough tread and looks
identical to rubber commando soles on other tested safety boots
acrylic fur lining for cold weather and air circulation
|
|
|
not as resistant to splitting from the sole as tested
safety boots; these are a cemented construction rather than sewn-together
not resistant to the toe cap falling off the sole with
regular climbing
not as comfortable without an extra insole as safety boots
In order to sit the toe cap on something firm, there is no sponge
mid-sole and the inside doesn't mould to the shape of your feet
not tested for energy absorption in the heel |
|
not with heat resistant sole to 300 degrees
for 1 minute
not extra-insulated with temperature decrease less
than 10 degrees over a fixed period at minus 20 degrees centigrade
not with foot arch protection, resisting impacts
over 100 joules, although the sole is strong
not with water penetration area less than 3 cm
squared
not with Kevlar re-enforcement
