Ahead of the game
EN ISO 20345:2011 contains updated requirements and new tests on anti-puncture mid-soles and was developed because of concerns related to the previous 2004 and 2007 Standards.

Although the European Commission is allowing non-compliant products already on the market to continue to be sold, U-Power says that buyers of its footwear can be sure that the latest Standard is being fully met.
The necessary tests specified by the EC posed no problem for U-Power. Its safety footwear did not need to be redesigned, since it already complies with, and exceeds, the requirements of the legislation.
U-Power has just opened a new base in the UK, with fully stocked warehouse facilities offering a 24h turnaround service and a choice of 130 different styles.
