In what cases should antistatic safety shoes be used?

  • if you don’t need insulating safety footwear (which is the opposite)
  • If you need to reduce the amount of static electricity on your body when you’re working

What standards do they comply with?

S1, S2, S3, S4 and S5 safety shoes must be antistatic, as described in the standard UNI EN ISO 20345. Indeed, most workers wear antistatic shoes. Only shoes belonging to the SB category don’t have to be antistatic compulsorily. Non-antistatic footwear, such as conductive or insulating safety shoes, have the corresponding marking (C, I).

Antistatic safety shoes are subject to a specific test to measure their electrical resistance. In dry and humid atmosphere, it is between 0,1 MΩ and 1000 MΩ (from 100 kΩ to 1000 MΩ). Of course, antistatic safety shoes don’t guarantee any protection against potential electric shocks: for that you will need insulating safety shoes, which, as their name suggests, insulate the feet from electricity.
