Supplemental Information for US Safety Shoes Testing: ASTM F2413
The main US standard for safety footwear, ASTM F2413, only covers testing related to protective properties. These are listed in the following table.
| ASTM F2413 requirements |
| Impact resistance of protective toe |
| Compression resistance of protective toe |
| Impact resistance of metatarsal impact guard* |
| Conductive protective footwear* |
| Electrical hazard resistant footwear* |
| Static dissipative footwear* |
| Puncture resistance* |
* indicates the test is applicable only if the property is claimed
Notably, slip resistance is not included in the above. However, in 2021 a separate standard has been published to address this: ASTM F3445 Performance Requirements when Evaluating Slip Resistance of Protective (Safety) Footwear.
