AS/NZS 2210.3:2009

HOME    TECHNOLOGY    AS/NZS 2210.3:2009

Australian and New Zealand Standard

 

AS/NZS 2210.3:2009 (Part 3)

 

(ISO 20345:2004, MOD)

 

Occupational footwear Specification for Safety shoes

 

 

 

This standard is essentially the same as EN ISO 20345 with test methods given in AS/NZS

 

2210 Part 2 which is the same as EN ISO 20344.

 

 

 

Notable differences are:

 

•  Thread strength requirements are added (see next page)

 

•  Peel and shear strength requirements of Touch & Close fasteners are used (see next

 

page)

 

•  Label durability must be tested (see next page)

 

•  Non-destructive assessment of sole to upper bond strength (see next page)

 

•  Labeling is to the AS/NZS standard rather than EN ISO

 

 

 

In terms of certification, just as with EN ISO safety footwear, product must be fully tested by

 

an independent laboratory. However, there is no mandatory ‘certification scheme’ in operation.

 

 

 

There are voluntary certification schemes such as that operated by SAI Global and some customers will require this. Where this is the case, test data must be submitted with footwear

 

to SAI Global in Australia for issue of certification. In addition, the factory making the footwear must undergo an audit by SAI Global to obtain a certification license and this license number must be shown on the product under the terms of their certification scheme.

 

 

 

Certification Schemes

 

Factory must be accredited by certifying body and renewed annually.

 

All materials must be tested to comply with prescribed requirements.

 

Smallest, medium and largest sizes of product must be tested for all safety features in anapproved lab and a technical file prepared showing amongst other detail what materials and suppliers are used and what test reports demonstrate compliance with each requirement of the standard.

 

The technical file, product and supporting paperwork are then submitted to the Australian

 

Certification Body for review and issue of Certification.

 

 

 

Note: additional ‘License number’ labelling requirement and EN ISO 20345 is replaced

 

with AS/NZS 2210.3:2009.

 

 

 

Thread Strength

 

Where thread is manufactured using natural or a combination of natural and

 

synthetic material it shall be treated to make it resistant to microbiological

 

deterioration (rot resistance). All threads used shall meet the requirements in the

 

table below when tested using SATRA TM74

Label Durability

 

The label must remain legible after subjecting to a wet and dry Crockmeter rub test (10

 

cycles back and forth across the label) and a color fastness to perspiration test (staining/color bleed).

 

 

 

Non-destructive assessment of sole bond

 

When tested in accordance with SATRA TM404 the footwear must meet the requirements

 

shown below.
