Appendix A differentiates between 3 types of orthopaedic modifications to safety footwear:<\/p>\n<p>Type 1 \u2014 Fitted with trimmed insoles<br \/>\nType 2 \u2014 Modified safety shoes<br \/>\nType 3 \u2014 Custom-made safety shoes<\/p>\n<p>Special testing requirements have been defined for these three types, which increases the testing scope. In addition to changes to the scope of testing, the labelling requirements for safety shoes with orthopaedic fittings and orthopaedic insoles are also changing. Before the introduction of EN ISO 20345\/20347, the requirements for orthopaedic foot protection were set out in DGUV Rule 112-191. DGUV Rule 112-191 (formerly BGR 191) addresses the use of foot and knee protection. It states that every time safety footwear is orthopaedically modified, checks must be carried out to ensure that it continues to comply with the requirements of the EN ISO 20345 standard in accordance with the certificate. This check must be performed by an official test institute, which then issues an EC type examination certificate. As the cost of testing individually requested orthopaedic modifications for every single pair of shoes is not economically viable, ELTEN GmbH offers a comprehensive range of safety shoes for the most common orthopaedic problems, which have been certified for this purpose in advance.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<div  class='flex_column av-aetyc-d8c13fd833cddeafd57fa5713cb76a2f av_one_fourth  avia-builder-el-3  el_after_av_three_fourth  el_before_av_hr  flex_column_div  '     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lm0bvtv1-d17ec85101929a88bd5a2caed44c76a7\">\n@keyframes av_boxShadowEffect_av-lm0bvtv1-d17ec85101929a88bd5a2caed44c76a7 {\n0%   { box-shadow:  0 0 0 0 #000000; opacity: 1; }\n100% { box-shadow:  0 0 1px 0 #000000; opacity: 1; }\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-lm0bvtv1-d17ec85101929a88bd5a2caed44c76a7 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 #000000;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-lm0bvtv1-d17ec85101929a88bd5a2caed44c76a7 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-lm0bvtv1-d17ec85101929a88bd5a2caed44c76a7 av-styling-no-styling avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-4  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  av-img-box-shadow av-box-shadow-not-animated'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><a href=\"https:\/\/elten.com\/katalog\/en\/DGUV-112-191\/\" class='avia_image' target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-label='bk_1-en'><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-395119 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-395119 avia_image shadow-not-animated' src=\"https:\/\/elten.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/bk_1-27-212x300.jpg\" alt='Flyer Ortho' title='bk_1-en'  height=\"300\" width=\"212\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elten.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/bk_1-27-212x300.jpg 212w, https:\/\/elten.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/bk_1-27-498x705.jpg 498w, https:\/\/elten.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/bk_1-27.jpg 625w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 212px) 100vw, 212px\" \/><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-mh0mfavc-4401240bf6320264a42b05ef7576b9d4\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-mh0mfavc-4401240bf6320264a42b05ef7576b9d4{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-mh0mfavc-4401240bf6320264a42b05ef7576b9d4 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-5  el_after_av_one_fourth  el_before_av_image '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_image-e3716bf03dbd0caf7c3e9f46949a251b\">\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-e3716bf03dbd0caf7c3e9f46949a251b img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-e3716bf03dbd0caf7c3e9f46949a251b .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-av_image-e3716bf03dbd0caf7c3e9f46949a251b av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-6  el_after_av_hr  avia-builder-el-last '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><a href=\"https:\/\/elten.com\/en\/orthopaedic-concept\/\" class='avia_image'  aria-label='Zur\u00fcck_zur_Startseite_Button_EN'><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-388654 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-388654 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/elten.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Zurueck_zur_Startseite_Button_EN-300x136.png\" alt='Zur\u00fcck_zur_Startseite_Button_EN' title='Zur\u00fcck_zur_Startseite_Button_EN'  height=\"136\" width=\"300\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/elten.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Zurueck_zur_Startseite_Button_EN-300x136.png 300w, https:\/\/elten.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Zurueck_zur_Startseite_Button_EN-1030x465.png 1030w, https:\/\/elten.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Zurueck_zur_Startseite_Button_EN-768x347.png 768w, https:\/\/elten.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Zurueck_zur_Startseite_Button_EN-705x318.png 705w, https:\/\/elten.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/Zurueck_zur_Startseite_Button_EN.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":25,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":100,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[539],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-387883","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","category-ortho-en"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v21.9 (Yoast SEO v21.9.1) -
