1、Designation: F2413 11Standard Specification forPerformance Requirements for Protective (Safety) Toe CapFootwear1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F2413; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of
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.INTRODUCTIONFor more than sixty years, the predecessor to this specification, ANSI Z41, established theperformance criteria for a
3、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 incorporated as a reference standard in the Code of Federal Regulations(29 CFR Part 191
4、0.132 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 bear theASTM marking.The specification contains performance requirements for footwear to
5、 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 (Mt) that reduces thechance of injury to the metatarsal bones at the top of the foot;
6、 (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), to protect the wearer whenaccidental contact is by stepping on live electric wires; (6
7、) 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 This specification covers minimum requirements for theperformance of footwear to prov
8、ide 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-enced in purchase contracts to ensure that minimum perfor-mance requirements are met.1.3
9、 Controlled laboratory tests used to determine compli-ance with the performance requirements of this specificationshall not be deemed as establishing performance levels for allsituations to which individuals may be exposed.1.4 Any changes to the original components of safety toefootwear such as repl
10、acing or adding after market footbeds/inserts could cause failure to any or all parts of this standardrendering the ASTM marking invalid.1.5 This specification is not applicable to overshoes withsafety toe caps or strap on devices with safety toes.1.6 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded
11、 as thestandard. The values given in parentheses are for informationonly.1.7 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine
12、the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F13 onPedestrian/Walkway Safety and Footwear and is the direct responsibility ofSubcommittee F13.30 on Footwear.Current edition approved July 1, 2011.
