Certification
Employers run the risk of damage claims if safety footwear does not meet European directives. This also applies to adjusted safety shoes and replacing inlays, even when the adjustments have been made by an orthopaedist.
Because Neskrid wants everyone to be able to work safely and healthily, we have two types of certification for our products:
Medical devices(MDR)
Neskrid also values sustainability and quality. That is why our company also has two separate certifications: ISO:9001 for quality management and ISO:14001 for environmental management.

To ensure that our products always meet the most recent certification requirements, Neskrid works closely together with NEN, the Netherlands Standardization Institute, which is responsible for issuing certificates. Our colleague Jan Dirksen is a member of the standards committee. Would you like to know more about NEN or Jan's role in this committee? Read his interview here.

Replacing (semi-)orthopaedic
insoles in protective footwear
Did you know that replacing (semi-)orthopaedic insoles in work or safety footwear (protective footwear) is not allowed just like that? In this case, the combination of the footwear and the insole no longer meets the legal health and safety requirements. In order to ensure that the combination of (semi-)orthopaedic insoles with protective footwear does meet the requirements, it must comply with European Regulation EU/2016/425 for safety aspects and European Regulation EU/2017/745 for health aspects.
Would you like to know more about the specifics of these regulations and how 4Allbrands (semi-)orthopaedic insoles comply with them when used in all brands and models of work and safety footwear? MAAK lawyers have drafted a document explaining how this legislation and the use of (semi-)orthopaedic insoles in protective footwear is permitted.
The 4Allbrands (semi-)orthopaedic insoles have been tested and approved by the Dutch Labour Inspectorate and the German Bavarian Trade Inspection, would you like to know more?
