  Understanding Safety Standards

  All safety footwear must meet basic requirements for a protective toe cap, which includes resistance to a 200-joule impact (equivalent to a 20 kg weight dropped from 1 meter) and a 15 kN compression force (equivalent to 1.5 tonnes resting on the toe area). 

  Footwear with these basic features and a slip-resistant sole is given an SB (Safety Basic) rating. Additional letters and numbers denote more specific properties.

  Common Safety Ratings

  Rating	Required Features	Common Work Environment
  SB	200J toe cap, slip-resistant outsole	Basic risk areas
  S1	SB + Anti-static, closed heel, heel energy absorption, fuel oil-resistant outsole	Dry, indoor environments (e.g., logistics, warehouses)
  S2	S1 + Water-resistant upper (prevents water penetration)	Wet indoor areas or light outdoor use
  S3	S2 + Puncture-resistant midsole, cleated outsole	Outdoor construction, heavy industry, environments with sharp debris and wet conditions

  The Ultima Industrial EX-309 you have includes the fundamental 200J toe cap and a durable sole, suggesting it likely meets at least the SB safety rating
