A factual look at how Safmar's IS 15298 certified safety footwear compares — for buyers evaluating options beyond a single distributor-sold brand.
Bata Industrials, the industrial safety division of Bata, offers footwear certified to IS 15298 (Part 2) and ISO 20345 at S1 protection level, backed by broad retail availability.
If you're comparing options before a bulk or tender order, here's how Safmar stacks up — factory-direct, on the same core standard.
Quick answer: Bata Industrials and Safmar are both certified to IS 15298 (Part 2) / ISO 20345 at S1 protection level, rated for similar impact and compression protection. The main practical difference is sales channel — Bata Industrials is backed by broad retail availability, while Safmar sells factory-direct as a registered GeM OEM manufacturer, which typically means lower bulk pricing, faster tender turnaround and direct after-sales support.
