What is ASTM F2413?
ASTM F2413 is the standard that sets the safety requirements for protective footwear in North America. It outlines the minimum performance criteria for impact resistance, compression resistance, puncture protection, and electrical hazard safety. When boots are labeled ASTM F2413 compliant, it means they've been rigorously tested in certified labs to meet these standards. This ensures workers across industries are protected against common on-site hazards.
Do U.S. Employers Require ASTM F2413 Boots?
In many American workplaces, employers require safety footwear that meets ASTM F2413 when there is a risk of foot injuries from falling objects, compression, or electrical hazards. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) requires employers to provide appropriate protective equipment but does not certify specific boots. Instead, OSHA regulations commonly reference ASTM standards as the benchmark for protective footwear.
In practice, this means jobsite policies, contractors, and safety managers often specify ASTM F2413-compliant boots to meet OSHA requirements and maintain workplace safety standards.
Where is ASTM F2413 commonly required?
ASTM F2413 footwear is commonly required in American workplaces where there is a risk of foot injuries from heavy materials, tools, or electrical hazards. Typical environments include construction sites, manufacturing plants, warehouses, utilities, oil and gas operations, and transportation or logistics facilities.
Employers and contractors often specify ASTM-compliant boots in jobsite safety policies to meet workplace safety requirements and reduce injury risks. The exact protection ratings required, such as impact, compression, or electrical hazard (EH), usually depend on the type of work being performed.
How to Tell If a Boot Is ASTM Compliant
You can confirm ASTM compliance by checking the certification label inside the boot. Footwear tested to ASTM F2413 will include a marking that lists the standard, the year of the revision, and the protection ratings (for example, I/75, C/75, EH, or PR). These markings indicate the boot passed laboratory testing for specific performance requirements.
Manufacturers usually also state ASTM compliance on the product box or specification sheet. If the marking is missing, or only general terms like “safety toe” are used, the boot may not be certified to ASTM standards.
How to Read ASTM Boot Labels
ASTM-certified boots include a label inside the tongue or shaft that lists the certification standard and protection ratings. Start by looking for ASTM F2413, followed by the year of the standard (for example, F2413-18 or F2413-24). This confirms the boot was tested to the current U.S. safety footwear requirements.
Next, check the protection codes printed on the label. Common markings include:
- I/75 – Impact resistance
- C/75 – Compression resistance
- EH – Electrical hazard protection
- PR – Puncture-resistant plate
Some labels may also include additional codes for metatarsal protection or static-dissipative properties, depending on the model.
These markings are standardized and must match the results of laboratory testing. If a boot does not display an ASTM label with clear ratings, it should not be considered ASTM-certified, regardless of marketing claims. The image above shows a typical example of how these markings appear on a compliant boot label.
Key features behind ASTM protection
The core safety components that make up an ASTM compliant MooseLog work boot
High Rebound Insole
The insole supports weight distribution and stability inside the boot, helping you maintain control and reduce fatigue.
Full Grain Leather Upper
The leather upper maintains the boot’s structure, durability, and foot containment under demanding conditions.
EH Rated Rubber Outsole
The anti slip EH rated outsole prevents electric shock by providing insulation from live circuits.
Composite Toe Cap
The toe cap protects your toes from impact and compression forces defined under ASTM F2413 testing.
Puncture Resistant Plate
Puncture plate helps prevent sharp objects from penetrating the sole and injuring the bottom of your foot.
