Identify the exact product before requesting evidence
Provide enough information to distinguish the selected footwear from a similar style or regional variant. A product-family name or image alone can lead to the wrong record.
| Request field | Include | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Product identity | Model name, SKU, product link, colour and configuration. | Matches the response to the exact item. |
| Destination | Country or market where the footwear will be used. | Separates regional standards and markings. |
| Workplace need | Required standard, edition, protection category or buyer specification. | Focuses the evidence review. |
| Document needed | Marking explanation, specification sheet, test information or purchasing support. | Routes the request to the correct record. |
| Decision date | Trial, tender or rollout deadline. | Helps prioritize the response. |
Read every claim at the model level
Toe, metatarsal, puncture, electrical, static-control, slip and water information answer different questions. State each required category separately and compare the response with the permanent marking on the exact pair.
Check the document before approval
- Confirm the product name, SKU, colour and configuration match.
- Record the standard designation and edition.
- Compare every required category with the permanent marking.
- Read test conditions, limitations and exclusions.
- Resolve any missing or conflicting information before purchase.
- Keep the accepted record with the workplace approval and purchasing decision.
Know what one document cannot prove
- A toe-cap material does not establish the complete footwear rating.
- A document for one variant does not automatically cover another colour or configuration.
- A regional marking does not automatically satisfy a different jurisdiction.
- Laboratory information does not remove the need for hazard assessment, fit, inspection and workplace procedures.
