Overview
EN ISO 22568-1:2019/A1:2025 (CEN) is an amendment to ISO 22568-1:2019 - Part 1: Metallic toecaps, updating the requirements and test methods for metallic toecaps used in foot and leg protection. The amendment clarifies the design and operation of the impact test apparatus used to verify toecap performance. The document has been circulated as a draft for comment (ISO/TC 94/SC 3) and is subject to final approval.
Key Topics and Requirements
- Scope: Focused on metallic toecaps as components of safety footwear and the test methods that demonstrate their protective performance.
- Impact apparatus specification (A.4.1.1): The amendment replaces A.4.1.1 to specify detailed apparatus requirements:
- Flat steel striker with a mass of (1 ± 0,01) kg.
- Striker arranged to fall freely on a vertical guide from a predetermined height (H) sufficient to produce an impact speed of (2,7 ± 0,2) m/s.
- Base construction: rigid design, avoiding elastic structures as far as possible to ensure consistent test conditions.
- Setup: apparatus must be free-standing on a flat, level surface that is large and rigid enough to support the test equipment.
- Figure clarification: amendment updates Figure A.1 key to label point 2 as height of fall H - clarifying how fall height relates to the required impact speed.
- Draft status: currently circulated for comments and approval; recipients are invited to report relevant patent rights and submit comments.
Applications and Users
This amendment and the underlying standard are directly relevant for:
- Safety footwear manufacturers specifying and validating metallic toecap designs.
- Test laboratories and quality control teams that perform impact testing and type/production tests on toecaps and footwear components.
- Certification and conformity assessment bodies that assess footwear compliance with PPE requirements.
- Procurement officers and safety managers who need assurance that supplied footwear meets standardized test methods.
- Design engineers seeking to ensure repeatable, reproducible impact testing during product development.
Practical applications include design validation, type approval, batch testing, and supporting product claims about toecap impact resistance in industrial and construction PPE.
