What is Puncture Resistance and Why is it Important?
Puncture resistance is a critical test that measures the resistance of protective footwear to puncture in contact with hazardous substances. This test is of great importance for occupational safety and is especially necessary to ensure the safety of people working in industrial environments. In the USB Certification laboratory, we perform this test in accordance with TS EN ISO 20344:2021.
What is TS EN ISO 20344:2021 Standard?
The TS EN ISO 20344: 2021 standard is a test method for measuring the puncture resistance of personal protective equipment, especially footwear. This standard measures the puncture of the shoe sole at a certain applied speed and force and evaluates whether the product complies with safety standards. By conducting tests in our laboratory in accordance with this standard, you can be sure that your footwear meets safety standards.
Importance of Puncture Resistance Tests
Puncture resistance tests determine how durable your footwear is to ensure safety in harsh working conditions. These tests help you ensure that your products meet the requirements of CE certification processes and also give your products a competitive advantage in the market.
Importance of Puncture Resistance Tests
Puncture resistant footwear is vital to ensure the safety of workers in a variety of industrial environments. Determining the puncture resistance of your products ensures they can be used safely and effectively in a variety of industrial applications.
Puncture Resistance Test Process in Our Laboratory
Puncture resistance determination in our laboratory is based on the principle of piercing the shoe sole with a steel nail at a certain speed. The test is performed at different points on the sole and the lowest puncture resistance value is reported as the result.
Sample Preparation and Test Process
The testing process starts with sample preparation. Samples are cut to appropriate sizes and evaluated according to specific test protocols. Puncture resistance tests are performed at various points on the sole and the results are reported and the performance of the shoe is evaluated.
