On introducing these standards all national standards relating to safety toe caps and penetration resistant inserts were withdrawn leaving the manufacturers of these items with no means of demonstrating the performance of their products. This European Standard has b
27、een prepared to allow manufacturers to demonstrate the performance level of the toe caps and penetration resistant inserts before being inserted into the footwear.
