Full title and description

GOST ISO 2023-2013 — "Footwear rubber industrial lined. Specification" (Russian adoption of ISO 2023:1994). The document sets technical requirements and product specification for lined industrial vulcanized‑rubber boots intended for industrial and occupational use.

Abstract

This standard is the Russian (GOST) adoption of ISO 2023:1994 and specifies construction, materials, dimensional and performance-related requirements for lined industrial vulcanized‑rubber footwear (ankle, half‑knee, short‑knee and knee‑height boots). It was prepared as a national/interstate standard to provide common technical requirements for protective/rubber working boots.

General information

• Status: National (GOST) adoption in force since introduction; originally introduced for voluntary application in the Russian Federation (first introduced as a GOST in 2015).
• Publication date: Designated as GOST ISO 2023-2013 and put into effect 1 January 2015 (order issued 28 August 2013).
• Publisher: Adopted and published for application in the Russian Federation by the Federal Agency on Technical Regulation and Metrology (Rosstandart) as a GOST (interstate) adoption; based on an authentic translation of the ISO original.
• ICS / categories: Footwear and personal protective equipment (commonly catalogued under footwear/protective footwear ICS classes such as 13.340.50 and related rubber products classifications).
• Edition / version: GOST ISO 2023-2013 (national designation indicates 2013 technical content; introduced into force 2015).
• Number of pages: Approximately 15 pages (published translations/priced copies list 15–16 pages depending on format).

Scope

The standard applies to lined industrial vulcanized‑rubber boots for occupational use and specifies essential requirements to ensure interchangeability of sizes, minimum construction and material properties, marking and basic performance characteristics relevant to industrial working boots. It does not cover styling; it is intended to provide a common technical specification for producers, purchasers and conformity assessors. The GOST text is identical to the ISO 2023:1994 base document as adopted nationally.

Key topics and requirements

• Definitions and classification of lined industrial vulcanized‑rubber boots (types and heights — ankle, half‑knee, short‑knee, knee‑height).
• Materials and lining requirements (suitable rubber compounds and specified linings for industrial use).
• Dimensional and construction features (size designation, heel and sole construction, reinforcement where applicable).
• Basic performance and safety characteristics (resistance to typical workplace hazards addressed by design and material selection).
• Marking, labeling and documentation requirements for manufacturers and suppliers.
• Reference to test methods and related footwear test standards (note: test methods later consolidated under the ISO 20344 series).

Typical use and users

Manufacturers of protective rubber footwear, quality and compliance engineers, procurement specialists in industry and construction, conformity assessment bodies and laboratories performing footwear verification and testing. The standard is used to specify minimum product characteristics for industrial lined rubber boots supplied for occupational protection.

Related standards

ISO 2023:1994 (original international specification) and later footwear test and PPE standards that consolidate test methods, notably the ISO 20344 series (Personal protective equipment — Test methods for footwear, later editions and amendments). National GOST/EN adoptions of ISO 20344 and its amendments are commonly referenced for test procedures.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: GOST ISO 2023-2013 is the Russian (GOST) adoption of ISO 2023:1994 titled "Footwear rubber industrial lined. Specification" — a technical specification for lined industrial vulcanized‑rubber boots intended for occupational use.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers definitions, construction and material requirements, sizing and marking, and basic performance characteristics for lined industrial rubber boots; it provides a product specification rather than detailed modern test methods.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Footwear manufacturers, procurement and safety officers, conformity assessment bodies, testing labs and standards specialists who need a national specification for lined industrial rubber boots.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The ISO base (ISO 2023:1994) has been withdrawn at the international level and its footwear testing and related requirements have been consolidated into the ISO 20344 series and subsequent updates; the GOST adoption (GOST ISO 2023-2013) remained the national/interstate specification introduced for application in Russia (effective 1 Jan 2015). Users should check current national registers for any later GOSTs that formally replace or update this adoption (some catalogues/vendors indicate newer GOST adoptions aligned to ISO 20344 series).

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: It is related to the broader family of footwear and PPE standards — ISO 2023 (the original specification) and the ISO 20344 series (test methods for footwear) and other ISO/EN/GOST footwear standards that together define performance, testing and product requirements for protective footwear.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Rubber footwear; lined industrial boots; vulcanized rubber; protective footwear; specification; GOST ISO 2023; footwear test methods; occupational boots.
