Compliant slip resistant footwear

A claim of slip resistance on a footwear product classifies this as an item of PPE under the directive and these products require testing, CE marking and certification from a European Notified body laboratory before placing on the European market.

Anvil Traction, a UK market leader in slip resistant footwear, has representation on the CEN TC161 & ISO TC94 Safety Standards Committee and is always fully aware and knowledgeable of the latest European and International standards. It is a commitment that they take very seriously which is reflected in the investment made in developing their own in-house testing facility. It includes a range of testing options such as impact testing, electrical resistance testing of antistatic and conductive footwear and DIN outsole abrasion resistance testing. 

All of Anvil Traction's products hold the correct CE Markings and are fully compliant with the latest European Standards, giving site managers peace of mind that when they purchase from Anvil Traction they are completely compliant with the relevant EU legislation using the latest harmonized standards EN ISO 20345:2011 for safety footwear and EN ISO 20347:2012 for occupational footwear where there is no mechanical risks to the toes.
