This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.Designation:F2413-17NTERNATIONALStandard Specification forPerformance Requirements for Protective(Safety)Toe CapFootwearThis 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 last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon(e)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 predecessor 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 incorporated 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 bear the ASTM marking.The specification contains performance requirements for footwear to protect workersfeet 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;(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)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.Scope1.4 Any changes to the original components of safety toe1.1 This specification covers minimum requirements for thefootwear such as replacing or adding after
