CE and CSA certification capability
Alvion works with a partner factory that carries CE and CSA certification resources for higher-compliance footwear orders. Certificate numbers, notified body and validity are confirmed with the factory before quotation.
CE / EU EEA
CE and EN ISO 20345
For EU/EEA placement, safety footwear is regulated as PPE. The common standard framework for protective footwear is EN ISO 20345, with the current harmonised reference version EN ISO 20345:2022; buyers usually request CE marking, EU-type examination, DoC, test reports and the related model documentation.
Our partner factory can run CE-compliant programmes for applicable models, commonly referenced as S1P and S3 for industrial safety shoes and boots.
Reference date: 2026-11-06 (user-built market research). Always verify the current official standard version, notified body requirements and market-entry rules with a qualified compliance advisor.
