TCX footwear models bearing the CE marking are considered items of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and their conformity is assessed by a Notified EC certification Body, in accordance with the requirements of the harmonised standard EN13634. Consumers can check the product certification, thanks to a pictogram featured inside every footwear model.
This pictogram provides an indication of the level (1 or 2) achieved during the following tests:
X – impact abrasion;
X – impact cut test;
X – transverse rigidity of footwear;
To achieve certification, footwear needs to pass several compulsory laboratory tests in accordance with the harmonised standard EN13634.
