Bekina Boots recently attained the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) F3445-21 slip resistance certification for its line of safety boots in the U.S.

ASTM F3445-21 is a newly updated standard that establishes the latest benchmark in measuring slip resistance for safety footwear. Surpassing its predecessor, ASTM F3445-18, the new ASTM F3445-21 certification incorporates improved testing methodologies that closely mimic real-world conditions, thereby offering a more accurate and comprehensive assessment of a boot's traction capabilities.

Bekina Boots' achievement in securing the ASTM F3445-21 certification is relevant to workers in industries dealing with slip-related hazards, such as agriculture and food processing.
