Bergmann Safety Boots- Size 45/11

Dutch Marine Bergmann S2 Model 03

S2 is a safety boots rating standard created by the European Standardisation Committee (CEN) in 2001.

The S2 safety shoes is defined as follows:

S2 safety footwear provides protection against low energy, shock hazards, and is designed to prevent foot injuries such as lacerations and abrasions. The protective function of these shoes is not limited to the foot but extends to the ankle and lower leg.

The S2 standard requires footwear to provide protection against lacerations due to falling objects and related abrasion by sharp edges, which could occur during handling of materials or tools with sharp edges, e.g., knives or sheets of glass or metal. It also requires protection against impact from falling objects greater than 0.5 joules.

The S2-rating does not cover electrical hazards such as electric shock or electrocution; however, additional protection may be provided by insulating soles if necessary.
