<strong>INDUSTRIAL</strong> EQUIPMENT GLOBAL TEST STANDARDS<br />
Cat Footwear manufactures premium, safety footwear symbolizing Caterpillar’s 100-year connection to tough, honest work. Our safety<br />
footwear collection includes a variety of comfort, durability, safety and technology features intended to keep workers protected and<br />
comfortable in the harshest of conditions.<br />
ASTM<br />
Our safety footwear is tested to meet and exceed strict ASTM 2413-05 and ASTM F 2412-05 testing methods and performance standards<br />
for ‘Personal Protective Footwear’ sold in the United States. All ASTM 2413-05 certified footwear must provide impact and compression<br />
resistance; our safety footwear is rated I/75, C75 – the highest available strength for impact and compression. Additional protection may be<br />
provided within the footwear as noted below.<br />
Advance Alloy Safety Toe<br />
Cat ® footwear with Advance Alloy Safety Toes are rated ASTM F2413-05 EH<br />
and are 50% lighter than traditional steel toe footwear while still protecting toes<br />
from impact and compression.<br />
Composite Safety Toe<br />
Cat ® footwear with Composite Safety Toes are rated ASTM F2413-05 and are<br />
non-metallic and undetectable in electronic security environments.<br />
Electrical Hazard<br />
Cat ® Electrical Hazard footwear is rated ASTM F2413-05 1/75 EH.<br />
Special EH construction protects the wearer against open circuits up to 14,000<br />
volts in dry conditions.<br />
Electro Static Dissipating<br />
Cat ® footwear Electro Static Dissipating boots and shoes are rated ESD Type 1<br />
to protect you from the hazards of static buildup in the workplace.<br />
Note: Do not use static dissipating footwear where conductive or electrical hazard features are required.<br />
Insulated<br />
Our Insulated footwear features a patented thermal technology that insulates<br />
against the cold, keeping your foot warm and comfortable while tackling<br />
extreme conditions. Available in 200g and 400g.<br />
Metatarsal Guard<br />
Cat ® footwear with a Metatarsal Guard protects the foot from impact and<br />
compression while resisting chemicals and heat.<br />
Slip Resistant<br />
Cat ® footwear with Slip Resistant soles reduces the risk of slips and falls—the<br />
hazard of low traction surfaces.<br />
Static Dissipating<br />
Shoes labeled SD meet or exceed the ASTM F2413-05 standard for Static Dissipative<br />
Type 1 footwear. These shoes are designed to minimize the buildup of static electricity<br />
while maintaining high enough resistance to help protect against live electrical circuits.<br />
Steel Toe<br />
Cat ® Steel Toe boots are rated ASTM F2413-05 I/75 C/75—the highest<br />
available strength for impact and compression.<br />
TechniFlex ®<br />
TechniFlex ® provides superior comfort in a traditional welted work boot by<br />
allowing the boot to bend and flex in key areas of the foot and by significantly<br />
reducing the weight traditionally associated with welted footwear.<br />
Waterproof<br />
Cat ® Waterproof footwear keeps the wet out with waterproof leathers and using<br />
seam sealing or waterproof liners.<br />
Extended Wear Compound<br />
Cat ® footwear outsoles, reinforced with our Extended Wear Compound, wear<br />
longer for performance in extreme environments.<br />
Puncture Resistant<br />
Cat ® Puncture Resistant footwear meets ASTM F2413-05 PR standards with a<br />
steel mid-plate designed to prevent objects from puncturing the sole.<br />
CSA<br />
Our safety footwear is tested to meet and exceed strict CAN/CSA Z195-02 testing methods and performance footwear standards for<br />
‘Protective Footwear’ sold in Canada. All CSA footwear must have fitted protective toecaps, with the exception of conductive and static<br />
dissipative footwear. The protective toecap must be made of a material that meets the requirements for impact resistance and must meet<br />
Grade 1 (Toe Impact of 125 Joules @.56 Meters) and Grade 2 (Toe Impact of 90 Joules @ .40 Meters) testing.<br />
EN<br />
Our safety footwear is tested to meet and exceed strict EU standards from authorized testing facilities such as SATRA and receives<br />
certification in one of the following categories:<br />
EN ISO 20345:2004 Safety Footwear Classification<br />
Footwear conforms to EN ISO 20345:2011 where applicable<br />
SB Footwear includes an internal steel toecap tested to 200-joule compression<br />
S1 Footwear includes an internal steel toecap tested to 200-joule compression and anti-static properties of electrical resistance no<br />
greater than 100k Mega ohms<br />
S1P Footwear includes an internal steel toecap tested to 200-joule compression and anti-static properties of electrical resistance no<br />
greater than 100k Mega ohms and steel midsole plate for nail penetration resistance of sole at no less than 1100 N<br />
S2 Footwear includes an internal steel toecap tested to 200-joule compression and water resistant leather<br />
S3 Footwear includes an internal steel toecap tested to 200-joule compression, water resistant leather and steel midsole plate for<br />
nail penetration resistance of sole at no less than 1100 N<br />
SBP Footwear includes an internal steel toecap tested to 200-joule compression and steel midsole plate for nail penetration<br />
resistance of sole at not less then 1100 N<br />
