Foreword
This standard was drafted in accordance with the rules given in GB/T 1.1-2009.
This standard replaces GB 12011-2009 "Foot Protective Electrical Insulating Shoes", GB 21146-2007 "Personal Protective Equipment Occupational Shoes",
GB 21147-2007 "Personal protective equipment and safety shoes" and GB 21148-2007 "Personal protective equipment and safety shoes". This standard is based on
Mainly GB 21148-2007, which integrates the contents of GB 21146-2007, GB 21147-2007 and GB 12011-2009.
Compared with GB 21148-2007, the main changes of this standard are as follows.
---Modified the scope of application (see Chapter 1, Chapter 1 of the.2007 edition);
---Modified the four terms of "safety shoes", "leather", "polymeric material" and "protection toe cap" (see 3.1, 3.2, 3.4, 3.12,.2007 edition
3.1, 3.2, 3.4, 3.12); The four terms "conductive shoes", "anti-static shoes", "electrically insulating shoes" and "fuel oil" have been deleted (see.2007
Version 3.14~3.17); Added the term "mixed shoes" (see 3.14);
---Modified the description of some shoe components (see Figure 1, Figure 2, Figure 3, Figure 1, Figure 2, Figure 3 of the.2007 edition);
---Increase and modify the protective performance marking symbol (see 4.3, Table 15 of the.2007 edition);
---The basic requirements and additional requirements of safety shoes are adjusted to basic requirements, protective performance and additional requirements (see Chapter 5, Chapter 6 and Chapter
Chapter 7, Chapter 5 and Chapter 6 of the.2007 edition);
---Added shoe seat area requirements (see 5.2.1.2);
---Modified the structural requirements for sole performance (see 5.2.2.1, 5.3.1.1 of the.2007 edition);
---Modified the ergonomics requirements (see 5.2.4, 5.3.4 of the.2007 edition);
---The slip resistance requirements have been added (see 5.2.5);
---Added the wear resistance requirements of the lining in the shoe seat area (see 5.4.2, 5.5.2 of the.2007 edition);
---Added the general requirements for toe protection (see 6.2.1, 5.3.2.1 of the.2007 edition);
---Increase and modify the puncture force and structural requirements of the anti-puncture pad (see 6.3.1.2 and 6.3.2, 6.2.1.2 of the.2007 edition), and correspondingly increase
Added Appendix B;
---Modified the electrical insulation performance requirements (see 6.4.3, 6.2.2.3 of the.2007 edition), and added Appendix C accordingly;
---Modified the thermal insulation requirements (see 6.5.1, 6.2.3.1 of the.2007 edition), and added Appendix D accordingly;
--- Deleted Appendix A (see Appendix A of the.2007 edition);
---Added "mixed shoes" related content (see 4.2 and Appendix A);
