ISO 20347:2021: foot protection needs separate requirements and evidence, not a uniform-bundle label

ISO lists ISO 20347:2021, Personal protective equipment — Occupational footwear. Workwear projects often bundle footwear with garments, but foot hazards, sizing, ground conditions, and care cycles should be reviewed separately.

Source-backed points

• The ISO page shows the edition was published on 17 December 2021.
• Its title concerns occupational footwear within personal protective equipment.
• A specific project needs to determine risk, appropriate product type, and local requirements; a bundle name is not enough.

Editorial context

Footwear is often placed on the last line of a garment project, leaving trials, replacement, sole conditions, and cleaning responsibility unclear. Making foot protection a separate requirement line surfaces supply, fit, and care issues that differ from garments earlier.

Use boundary and next step

• Record foot hazards, sizing strategy, ground condition, and replacement triggers separately.
• Before any compliance or protection conclusion, confirm applicable standards and requirements in the project location.
