In case of different single results obtained with the same test on equal samples, the worst value shall be stated as test result ("worst case principle" to be applied). 4.2 Requirements for all types of toe caps 4.2.1 Finishing Toe caps 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. 4.2.2 Dimensions 4.2.2.1 Internal length When measured in accordance with the method described in 5.2.1, the internal length of toe caps shall be not less than the appropriate value given in Table 2.

4.2.3 Impact resistance When toe caps are tested in accordance with the method described in 5.2.2 at an energy level of either (100 ± 2) J (toe caps intended for protective footwear), or (200 ± 4) J (toe caps 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 toe cap shall not develop sharp edges or any cracks passing through the material (i.e. through which light can be seen). 4.2.4 Compression resistance When toe caps are tested in accordance with the method described in 5.2.3, the clearance under the toe cap at a compression load of either (10 ± 0,1) kN (toe caps intended for protective footwear) or (15 ± 0,15) kN (toe caps intended for safety footwear) shall not be less than the appropriate value given in Table 3. In addition the toe cap shall not develop sharp edges or any cracks passing through the material (i.e. through which light can be seen). NOTE The provisions of 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 do not exclude a toe cap design incorporating perforations. SIST EN 12568:2010

4.3 Special requirements for metal toe caps − Corrosion resistance
Both before and after testing metal toe caps in accordance with the method described in 5.3, they shall exhibit not more than three areas of corrosion, none of which shall measure more than 2 mm in any direction. 4.4 Special requirements for non-metal toe caps − Stability against ageing and environmental influence When non-metal toe caps are subject to each single one of the treatments described in 5.4 and thereafter tested in accordance with the method described in 5.2.2 at an energy level of either (100 ± 2) J (caps intended for protective footwear) or (200 ± 4) J (caps 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 toe cap shall not develop sharp edges or any cracks passing through the material (i.e. through which light can be seen). 5 Test methods for toe caps 5.1 General One pair of samples of each size shall be tested. Exceptions are made for some properties, as specified in Table 1. Where repetitions lead to different results on equal samples, the worst value shall be reported as test result. If samples of only one size are available, two pairs shall be tested.
Each one of the environmental treatments of 5.4 shall be applied to new samples. 5.2 Test methods for all types of toe caps 5.2.1 Determination of internal toe cap length 5.2.1.1 Determination of the test axis Position the left toe cap with its rear edge in line with a base line and draw its outline. Repeat the exercise with the right toe cap of the pair, positioning it at the same base line in such a manner that the outlines at the toe end of the toe caps coincide (see Figure 2). SIST EN 12568:2010

intersect on the base line
Figure 2 — Determination of test axis (schematic illustration) Mark the four points A, B, C and D where the outlines of the right and left toe caps intersect on the base line. Construct the perpendicular from the base line at the mid point of AB or CD. This constitutes the test axis of both toe caps. 5.2.1.2 Procedure Place the toe cap, open side down, on a flat surface. With an appropriate gauge, measure the internal length l, along the test axis from the front inside to the vertical projection of the back edge between 3 mm and 10 mm above and parallel to the surface upon which the toe cap rests, taking the longest distance as the length l (see Figure 3).
