The product complies with the European Directive 89/686, notably regarding ergonomics, innocuousness, comfort and with standards :
PIGMENTED SPLIT LEATHER BOOTS – S3 SRC ESD
SAULT S3 SRC ESD
Upper: Pigmented split leather, S3 water resistant treatment. Lining: Polyamide. Insole: Removable preformed – Polyamide on EVA. Outsole: Injected – Dual-density PU with bump cap.
RISK OF ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD *)
The static electricity on the operators must be controlled in the following application areas, because it can:
- generate electrostatic sparks that can ignite explosive atmospheres: plastic industry, mining, oil and gas industry, chemical industry ...
- damage sensitive equipment against electric shock: various electronic industries ...
- generate particles that may be deposited on the painting: car industry, house appliances ...
* Electrostatic Discharge
What does the regulation say ?
Areas with potentially explosive atmospheres called ATEX and the protection of workers against the risks of explosion are regulated by 1999/92/EC Directive. The use of (picto ESD), qualified footwear dissipating electrostatic charges, is recommended in these areas as part of a comprehensive system of prevention of explosion risk.
Requirements for the design, implementation of systems controlling electrostatic discharge (ESD) that can damage electronic components are defined by the EN61340-5-1 standard. The device said ESD must offer resistance between 105 Ω and 3.5 107 Ω.To be used in an ESD system, a shoe must at least be qualified according to EN61340-4-3 standard and offer resistance less than 108 Ω and greater than 105 Ω, it is then dissipative.
SAULT ESD and VIAGI ESD perform particularly well because they have not only reached a maximum resistance between 105 Ω and 3.5 107 Ω, but these tests were conducted under severe restraints: the climatic environment class number 1 (high drought: 15% humidity rate).
Due to their low resistance level, SAULT ESD and VIAGI ESD are a particularly efficient part of global grounding system (gloves, clothing, carpet, seat, etc ...).
Thus, their performances help this system to achieve the level of resistance required for (picto ESD) compliance.
