The [[International Organization for Standardization]] provides the [[European Committee for Standardization|European standard]] for safety footwear. The current one is '''ISO 20345:2011''' - previously '''ISO 20345:2004'''.

The codes applicable to European safety footwear are:

There is also Previous EN ISO 20346:2004 and Now the latest one is EN ISO 20346:2021<ref>{{cite web |last=Masand |first=Dev |date=2024-08-26 |title=EN ISO 20346:2021 |url=https://safaripro.in/categories/en-iso-20346/ |access-date=2024-08-26 |website=www.safaripro.in}}</ref> for protective footwear (must comply to basic safety requirements but toe cap impact resistance requirement is lower - 100 Joules) & EN ISO 20347:2004 for Occupational Footwear (must comply to basic safety requirements with antistatic or slip-resistant properties. This standard does not require a protective toe cap)
