2、last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S. Department of Defense.INTRODUCTIONFor more than sixty years, the p

3、redecessor to this specification, ANSI Z41, established theperformance criteria for a wide range of footwear to protect from hazards that affect the personalsafety of workers.The value of these standards was recognized early in the history of Occupational Safety and HealthAdministration (OSHA) and i

4、ncorporated as a reference standard in the Code of Federal Regulations(29 CFR Part 1910.132 and 29 CFR Part 1910.136).The principal purpose of this standard is the certification of protective footwear. Certification mustbe performed by independent third party laboratories in order for footwear to be

5、ar theASTM marking.The specification contains performance requirements for footwear to protect workers feet from thefollowing hazards by providing: (1) impact resistance (I) for the toe area of footwear; (2) compressionresistance (C) for the toe area of the footwear; (3) metatarsal impact protection

6、 (Mt) that reduces thechance of injury to the metatarsal bones at the top of the foot; (4) conductive properties (Cd) whichreduce hazards that may result from static electricity buildup; and reduce the possibility of ignition ofexplosives and volatile chemicals; (5) electric hazard protection (EH),

7、to protect the wearer whenaccidental contact is by stepping on live electric wires; (6) static dissipative properties (SD) to reducehazards due to excessively low footwear electrical resistance that may exist where SD footwear isrequired; and (7) puncture resistance (PR) footwear devices.1. Scope1.1

8、 This specification covers minimum requirements for theperformance of footwear to provide protection against a varietyof workplace hazards that can potentially result in injury.1.2 This specification is not intended to serve as a detailedmanufacturing or purchasing specification, but can be refer-en
