What is Puncture Resistant Reinforcement and Why is it Important?
Puncture resistant reinforcement is a component used to protect the sole of a shoe against puncture. Placing this reinforcement in the correct dimensions and in accordance with the standards is critical for the shoe to provide the highest level of protection to the wearer. In the USB Certification laboratory, we test the dimensions of the puncture-resistant reinforcement in accordance with the TS EN ISO 20344:2021 standard.
What is TS EN ISO 20344:2021 Standard?
The TS EN ISO 20344: 2021 standard is a test method for measuring the dimensions of puncture-resistant reinforcement of personal protective equipment, especially footwear. This standard evaluates the dimensions of the reinforcement and whether it is placed to provide puncture protection. In our laboratory, we conduct tests in accordance with this standard, ensuring that your footwear complies with safety standards.
The Importance of Testing the Dimensions of Puncture Resistant Reinforcement
The dimensions of the puncture resistant reinforcement are a critical factor to ensure the safety of the shoe. These tests are necessary to determine that the reinforcement is the correct size and that the shoe provides adequate protection against puncture. These tests are of great importance in CE certification processes.
Importance in terms of Environment and Area of Use
Puncture resistant reinforcements are vital to ensure the safety of workers in a variety of industrial and harsh working environments. Determining the reinforcement dimensions of your products ensures that they can be used safely and effectively in a variety of industrial applications.
Puncture Resistant Reinforcement Dimensions Testing Process in Our Laboratory
In our laboratory, the determination of puncture-resistant reinforcement dimensions is carried out using precision measuring instruments such as rulers and calipers to measure the dimensions of the reinforcement and its placement in the sole. These measurements determine whether the reinforcement is placed in such a way that the shoe provides the necessary protection against puncture.
Puncture Resistant Reinforcement Dimensions Testing Process in Our Laboratory
The testing process starts with sample preparation. Samples are cut to the appropriate size and evaluated according to specific test protocols. The dimensions of the reinforcement are measured using precision measuring instruments and the results are reported to evaluate the performance of the product.
