Antistatic footwear should be used when it is necessary to minimize the electrostatic build-up through the propagation of electrostatic charges so that, for example, it is possible to avoid the risk of ignition of flammable substances and vapors by sparks and the risk of shock from any electrical apparatus or live parts cannot be completely eliminated. However, it should be noted that anti-static footwear cannot guarantee adequate protection against electric shock simply because it provides resistance between the foot and the ground. If the risk of electric shock has not been completely eliminated, additional measures are necessary to avoid this risk. Such measures, as well as the additional testing mentioned below, should be a routine part of the workplace accident prevention program.

Boots are antistatic if the measured contact resistance is in the range of 100 KiloOhm (10⁵ohm) to 1 GigaOhm (10⁹ohm). According to the standard, if the contact resistance falls below this value, they are conductive, a higher value means they are electrically insulating. The electrical resistance of antistatic products varies considerably under bending, smearing, humidity and pollution conditions. Boots used in wet conditions cannot provide their electrical functions. The user must take additional precautions/protections to protect himself. Before entering the dangerous area, the electrical resistance of the boot should be retested at regular and frequent intervals due to the risk of contamination and dirt on the sole of the boot.

Important Notice

• Antistatic Footwear does not guarantee equivalent protection against electric shock simply because it provides resistance between the floor and the foot.
• The Footwear Tests were made without Fuspet sole. If the fuspet is placed, it may affect the protective properties of the footwear.
• Under the terms of the User's Manual, the life of this harness is 1 year.

Boot Usage, Maintenance and Storage Conditions
Any kind of residue (dirt, mud, fertilizer, chemical, etc.) that may occur on your boots after using them with water, soap and a clean cloth or brush. should be cleaned. Chemical cleaners should not be used. After the boot is used in every busy working environment, it must be cleaned. The boots should not be exposed to heat that can be found in the working or storage environment. It should be stored in a dry and cool place away from moisture and sun.
