What does DOSH–SIRIM approved safety footwear mean in Malaysia?+
DOSH–SIRIM approval is the common market term for Malaysia's PPE approval pathway involving SIRIM product certification and approval by the Department of Occupational Safety and Health, also known as DOSH or JKKP. Buyers may also search for SIRIM–DOSH approval, SIRIM approved safety shoes or JKKP approved safety shoes. Approval is model-specific, so verify the exact model and current approval number against the DOSH foot-protection list.
Which safety footwear standard should my team use?+
The right standard and protection class depend on your workplace hazard assessment, industry and local regulatory requirements. RHINO SHOE models are available for standards including EN ISO 20345, Malaysia's SIRIM/DOSH requirements, Singapore SS 513, TIS 523 and PNS ISO 20345 requirements. Ask our team to confirm the exact certification for the model you are evaluating.
What is the difference between steel and fibreglass toe caps?+
Both can be engineered to meet the required impact and compression tests. Fibreglass is metal-free and can reduce weight, while steel remains a proven option for many industrial applications. The best choice depends on the workplace and required product certification.
