Ideal for the automotive industry and for traditional industrial and service sectors, when there is a necessity to curb the build-up of static electricity, PERF ESD/EPA safety footwear dissipate the electrostatic charge to ground, thus protecting both wearers and sensitive electronic components.
A shoe is referred to as an ESD/EPA shoe if the contact resistance is within the recommended range of 750 KΩ e 35 MΩ.
The contact resistance of ESD/EPA shoes lies within the lower anti-static range of shoes for general industrial application. PERF ESD/ EPA footwear have to be worn when the electrostatic charge needs to be dissipated to ground.
ESD = Electro Static Discharge
EPA = ESD Protected Areas. Are the areas where the ESD protection devices are mandatory required to be worn
