MTS M-ESD
IN COMPLETE SAFETY
This range has been fully designed to comply with the EN 61340-4-3:2001 ESD standard (Electro-Static Discharge), by means of a special ESD anti-static treatment applied to the sole and insole lining to achieve electrical resistance between 0.75 and 35 ohms
Shoes in the M-ESD range not only protect equipment but also maintain the health and safety of workers:
ATEX Directive (ATmospheres EXplosives) 1999/92/EC
This directive was adopted to control the risk of explosion and so protect workers likely to be exposed to the risk of explosive atmospheres (ATEX zones). Always a safety pioneer, MTS has had its M-ESD range tested by INERIS, a notified body in the European Community for application of the ATEX Directive.
The INERIS Study Report No DRA-10-107959-04889A dated 20/04/2010 certifies that the materials used are antistatic, presenting no risk of ignition, and that shoes in the M-ESD range are therefore acceptable for use in ATEX flammable gas/vapour zones 0, 1 and 2, and dust zones 20, 21, 22. It is recommended that these shoes should also be worn on floors that dissipate electrostatic charges.
