4、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 theASTM marking
5、.The specification contains performance requirements for footwear to protect workers feet 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 o
