To simplify the definitions of the footwear and make it easier for the user to choose the right footwear the abbreviations have been gathered under the following designations:  

S1 = SB – A – E	Closed heel area
S2 = SB – A – E – WRU	Closed heel area
S3 = SB – A – E – WRU – P	Closed heel area
S1P = SB – A – E	As S1 with protective midsole
S4 = SB – A- E – WRU	Only apply to boots
S5 = SB – A – E – WRU – P	Only apply to boots

  
Footwear certified to EN-ISO 20347 is without toe cap. The footwear is for occupational use and developed for the protection of the user against injuries which can occur on the working place. The footwear is marked after the same regulations as footwear certified to EN-ISO 20345, where S is replaced by O.

	OB = Basic requirements
	O1 = Basic requirements + A + E
	O2 = Basic requirements + A + E + WRU

Products which have been certified before 01.07.2007, are certified in accordance with EN 345 or EN 347.

Products produced after this date are and will be certified in accordance with EN-ISO 20345 or EN-ISO 20347.
