MANUFACTURER’S GUIDANCE AND INSTRUCTIONS.

USE AND MAINTENANCE.

The useful life of safety footwear is directly related to the conditions of use and quality of maintenance. Therefore, the user must check regularly on its state to ensure its effectiveness. If any damage is observed during its use, it will be repaired or reformed if possible, otherwise it will be discarded.

The manufacturer recommends:

– Changing socks daily.

– Leaving shoes to air out whenever possible, preferably using two pairs of shoes to alternate, especially in cases of

important perspiration.

– Not reusing the shoes of another person.

– Regularly cleaning the upper and sole.

– Drying shoes out whenever they get wet and taking care not to expose the footwear to temperatures exceeding 50ºC.

– Storing the pair in a dry and airy place.

– Transporting it preferably in its cardboard box.

– Discarding the shoes is recommended when accentuated wear of the relief of the sole is observed.

ANTISTATIC AND CONDUCTIVE FOOTWEAR.

Antistatic footwear and boots have to be used where it is required to reduce the accumulation of electrostatic charges in order to avoid the risks of ignition due to sparks of different substances and their vapors, as well as the risk associated with the incomplete removal of the electric charges in certain machines.

Experience has shown that the discharge path through a product under normal conditions requires an impedance of less than 1.000MΩ during the service life of the product in order to fulfil the antistatic requirements.

A value of 100MΩ is considered to be the minimum impedance of a new product in order to ensure reliable protection against electric shock hazard or against ignition if a malfunction occurs in an electrical equipment carrying voltage until 250V.

However, under certain conditions the user should be aware that the protection offered by the shoes could be ineffective and that other means should be used to protect the user at all times. During the use, should not be introduced any element of insulation between the inner-footbed and the user’s foot. If an intermediate sole is placed between the sole of the foot and the sole of the shoe, the electrical properties of footwear + intermediate insole must be checked.

EXPIRATION AND GUARANTEE

Polyurethane is a chemical composition of two materials, polyol and isocyanate. These two products over the time are decomposed by the migration of the material that joins them. After three years from its manufacturing, it is possible that a deterioration of the soles of P.U. starts.

The applicable warranty for storage expiration is for PU / PU soles is 3 years, depending on storage conditions (humidity, heat, lack of light).

The applicable warranty for storage expiration for the soles of POLYURETHANE and RUBBER NITRILE is 7 years, depending on the storage conditions (humidity, heat, lack of light).

The upper materials (leathers, linings, textiles, safety elements, etc.): DO NOT EXPIRE

The durability depends on the level of use, but in any case, its use should not exceed 2 or 3 years for bi-density polyurethane soles (UNE-CEN ISO / TR 18690: 2006).

The guarantee applicable to footwear is 1 year against any manufacturing faulty and in normal use with the proper maintenance of the user.

The manufacturing date of the footwear (sole injection or manufacturing of the same) corresponds to that indicated on the watch located in the shank of the sole (in the center the year and around it the 12 months, marked with an arrow).

The manufacturing date of the upper is shown on the label sewn on the tongue (Year and Week).

The traceability of the batch is indicated by the manufacturing date (upper and sole) and the production order indicated on the label placed on the primary packaging.

This PPE is composed of materials with qualities that make it more resistant to ageing if it is properly preserved.

It is recommended to transport the PPE inside a bag or an individual box.

This PPE has been designed according to Directive 89/686 / ECC and its subsequent update in the Regulation 2016/425 EU.

The performances achieved in the technical tests are fully satisfactory based on the standards EN ISO 20344 and EN ISO 20345. These performances are guaranteed by the corresponding certificate issued by notified bodies, at European level according to ISO 17025.
