This European Standard specifies requirements and test methods relating to properties of footwear for professional use additional to those specified in EN 344:1992 (1) and to be used with it in conjunction with EN 345-2, EN 346-2 or EN 347-2, as appropriate. Further work is still being undertaken with respect to slip resistance properties, protection against chemical hazards and the development of a mechanical method for the determination of water resistance. A separate European Standard for insulating footwear is also being prepared.
