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 с 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 Устойчивость к износу between 105 ? and 3.5 107 ?.To be used in an ESD system, a shoe must at least be qualified according to EN61340-4-3 standard and offer Устойчивость к износу less than 108 ? and greater than 105 ?, it is then dissipative. SAULT ESD and VIAGI ESD perform particularly well because they have not only reached a maximum Устойчивость к износу between 105 ? and 3.5 107 ?, but these tests were conducted under severe restraints: the climatic environment class number 1 (high drought: 15% humidity rate). Due to their low Устойчивость к износу 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 Устойчивость к износу required for (picto ESD) compliance.
