June 09 15:04 2025

TIANJIN, CHINA – June 9, 2025 – Litai Shoes, a specialized manufacturer renowned for its commitment to safety and innovation in protective footwear, today proudly announces a milestone achievement that further cements its leadership in the global safety footwear market. The company has successfully secured an extensive and prestigious array of international certifications, including the advanced CE S4 and S5 safety levels for its safety rain boots, alongside ASTM F2413 (USA), CSA Z195 (Canada), and the UKCA certification for Great Britain.

This achievement represents a historic first for Litai Shoes, reflecting the company’s unwavering dedication to producing high-quality protective footwear that meets and surpasses the most rigorous safety standards worldwide. These certifications significantly enhance the company’s ability to serve diverse markets and industries while delivering unparalleled protection, comfort, and reliability to workers across the globe.

A New Benchmark in Protective Footwear Standards

The newly acquired CE S4 and S5 certifications mark a significant elevation in Litai Shoes’ product safety profile. These European safety standards are well-respected benchmarks, symbolizing advanced performance features essential for protective work environments.

  • CE S4 Certification ensures that footwear is fully waterproof, features antistatic properties, and includes energy-absorbing heels and fuel/oil resistant soles. This makes it ideal for environments where workers face wet conditions or slippery surfaces.
  • CE S5 Certification builds upon the S4 standard by adding midsole penetration resistance and a cleated outsole that provides superior traction on challenging terrains. This certification is especially valuable for industries where foot injury risks are high due to sharp objects and unstable ground.

By achieving these certifications, Litai Shoes demonstrates that its safety rain boots are not only durable but also engineered to offer comprehensive protection against multiple hazards, setting a new industry benchmark for safety rain footwear.

Broad International Compliance

Beyond the CE standards, Litai Shoes’ portfolio now includes key certifications that facilitate market entry and regulatory compliance in major global regions:

  • ASTM F2413 (USA): This certification defines the performance requirements for protective toe cap footwear sold in the United States. It covers impact and compression resistance as well as electrical hazard protection, ensuring that Litai Shoes’ products meet the demands of North American safety regulations.
  • CSA Z195 (Canada): This Canadian standard requires protective footwear to demonstrate toe impact resistance and sole puncture protection, vital for safeguarding workers in industries such as construction, manufacturing, and mining.
  • UKCA (United Kingdom Conformity Assessed): As the UK’s post-Brexit safety conformity mark, UKCA certification confirms that Litai Shoes complies with UK health and safety regulations, enabling uninterrupted access to the British market.

These certifications collectively provide Litai Shoes’ B2B partners—ranging from OEMs and ODMs to distributors and retailers—with unmatched confidence in product safety and regulatory compliance, streamlining their supply chains and facilitating international trade.

Empowering Partners and Protecting Workers

“This achievement is a testament to Litai Shoes’ commitment to ‘innovation, striving for perfection, safety, comfort, and health,’” said Mr. Zhu, Founder of Litai Shoes. “Our goal has always been to lead the industry by protecting workers worldwide with footwear they can trust. Securing this comprehensive suite of certifications not only validates the quality of our products but also empowers our partners with the assurance of compliance and reliability. Together, we can set higher standards for workplace safety globally.”

Litai Shoes’ extensive certification portfolio offers multiple advantages to its B2B partners, including:

Ethical and Operational Excellence

Litai Shoes’ commitment to quality and safety extends beyond product design to encompass its operational and ethical frameworks. The company maintains strict adherence to internationally recognized management systems and social responsibility standards, reinforcing its reputation as a trusted partner.
