Safety Standards – Protection You Can Trust

At STITCHKRAFT, workplace safety comes first. All ELTEN safety boots and work shoes are tested and certified to internationally recognised safety standards, including DIN EN ISO 20345:2022. The Australian safety footwear standard, AS 2210.3:2019, is based on the earlier international ISO 20345:2011 standard.

These rigorous standards establish essential safety requirements, including 200-joule toe protection, impact and compression resistance, and slip resistance.

Depending on the model, ELTEN footwear offers additional protective features such as:

• Penetration-resistant midsoles
• Electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection
• Heat, oil and fuel-resistant outsoles
• Waterproof and breathable materials
• Lightweight and metal-free construction
• Durable uppers designed for demanding workplaces

Combining German engineering, certified protection, durability and all-day comfort, ELTEN delivers premium safety footwear designed to meet the demands of modern workplaces.

Watch the video below to see how ELTEN safety footwear is tested to meet international safety standards.

+ Slip resistance of soles - The shoes must pass a minimum resistance test on both steel and tiled surfaces

+ Testing of specific ergonomic features - The footwear is put through a variety of testing including walking, kneeling and crouching, climbing stairs and more. Suitability is then recorded

+ Upper and lining materials testing - Includes a recording of the thickness, tear strength, flexing, pH value, chromium V1 content and abrasion resistance of the shoe

+ The outsole of the shoe is tested on its tear strength, abrasion resistance, flexing resistance, hydrolysis and resistance to fuel oil
