Description
Non-Sparking Ice Cleats Certified for Classified Areas on a Low Profile Mid-Sole Platform | K1 Series
Product Overview
Ice does not care that the area is classified. The K1 Series Mid-Sole Intrinsic Low Profile is certified to prevent sparking caused by electrical and thermal energy, on the same rotating mid-sole platform as the standard models. One size, hi-viz adjustable strap, ice-penetrating spikes.
The certification covers the cleat. K1 states the intrinsic models must be worn with appropriate ESD footwear, because non-sparking ice cleats work as part of a system rather than as one item. Part of the K1 Series line from SureWerx.
Key Features
- Certified, not just made of something softer: K1's position is that soft metal studs such as brass are simply not enough around hazardous, flammable materials, which is why the intrinsic models are developed to an internationally maintained standard instead. Non-sparking ice cleats certified that way are a different proposition from a cleat that has swapped one metal for another.
- What the certification does not do: K1 specifies appropriate ESD footwear alongside the intrinsic models, because the equipment works as a system. ESD footwear and ice cleats are ordered together for a classified area, or the classified area is not covered.
- Low profile, for the boot most plant crews wear: Shorter studs on a narrower pad, made for footwear with shallow tread and little heel rather than a lugged boot. Most plant and treatment work happens in a safety shoe, which is why low profile intrinsic ice cleats are the version that fits.
- Rotates without coming off: The pad turns around the strap to the top of the foot, so a worker moving between a classified area and a control room stops for nothing. A cleat that comes off at every door is a cleat that ends up left behind.

Applications
Oil and gas, chemical, wastewater and agriculture are the four industries the manufacturer points to. Ice cleats for classified areas turn up wherever any of them overlap with winter.
- Digester buildings and wet wells at treatment plants
- Chemical storage and dosing areas
- Fuel handling and tank farms
- Grain handling and feed mills
- Refinery and pipeline yards through winter
Ice cleats for wastewater plants belong on the same order as gas monitors and ventilation, because the same crews use all three in the same places. For work outside the classified area the standard low profile model is the same platform without the certification. Low profile intrinsic ice cleats and the standard low profile share everything except that, and the rest of the K1 Series range covers the other profiles.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are ice cleats allowed in a hazardous area?
Only certified ones. A standard cleat is not certified for it, because its studs are chosen for grip rather than for spark prevention. Non-sparking ice cleats carry an intrinsic safety certification, and ESD footwear and ice cleats are specified together rather than separately. Check the site classification before ordering either.
Is brass enough for non-sparking equipment?
K1 says no. Their stated position is that soft metal studs such as brass are simply not enough around hazardous, flammable materials, which is why the intrinsic models are developed to an internationally maintained standard instead. That is a certification argument rather than a material one.
Can you wear intrinsic ice cleats outside a classified area?
Yes. Nothing in the certification limits the cleat to classified areas, and the platform, strap, one size fit and rotation are the same as the standard model. A crew crossing in and out of a classified area through a shift wears one pair rather than carrying two.
What counts as a classified area?
An area where the atmosphere could ignite. K1 describes it as environments with concentrations of flammable gases, dust or fibres, so grain and feed dust counts alongside gas. The site's hazardous area classification drawing is the authority on where those areas begin and end, not a product page.
How do you know if an ice cleat is certified?
Check the product name. K1 marks the certified models Intrinsic and the standard models carry no such marking. The K1 Series Mid-Sole Intrinsic Low Profile and the standard low profile look alike in a box, which is why intrinsically safe mid-sole ice cleats are worth confirming by product number rather than by sight.
