目前欧洲的专业鞋类标准要求安全防护鞋的外底是耐油的。由于这一强制性要求，非耐油材料不能用作专业鞋类的外底，即使有些材料在冬季条件下比耐油材料更防滑。专业鞋类在冬季条件下的防滑性能应该得到改善，因为它们在冰面上的抓地力不足。本研究的目的是确定耐油和非耐油外底之间是否存在显著差异，因此，需要改变有关耐油的EN标准，以改善专业鞋类提供的抓地力。采用FIOH便携式防滑模拟器对不同外底材料在模拟冬季和标准测试条件下的防滑性能进行了测试。发现耐油外底的防滑性能比非耐油外底差，并且由于寒冷也会显着硬化。基于这些结果。结论是，目前的欧洲专业鞋类标准应该改变，使耐油性成为一个额外的要求，这样，在滑倒的风险大于油污染造成的风险的情况下，可以使用非耐油材料。(c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd版权所有。
The current European standards for professional footwear require that the outsoles of safety and protective footwear are oil resistant. Because of this obligatory requirement, non-oil resistant materials cannot be used as outsoles in professional footwear even if some of them have been found to be more slip resistant in winter conditions than oil resistant materials. The slip resistance properties of professional footwear in winter conditions should be improved since they have been found to provide an inadequate grip on icy surfaces. The aim of this study was to establish whether there is a significant difference between oil resistant and non-oil resistant outsoles and, therefore, a need to change the EN standards regarding oil resistance to improve the grip provided by professional footwear. The Portable Slip Simulator of FIOH was used to measure the slip resistance of various outsole materials both in simulated winter conditions and in standard test conditions. Oil resistant outsoles were found to have poorer slip resistance characteristics than non-oil resistant ones, and the), also hardened significantly due to cold. Based on these results. it is concluded that the current European standards on professional footwear should be altered to make oil resistance an additional requirement, so that non-oil resistant materials could be used in cases where the risk of slipping outweighs that caused by oil contamination.
