6. The Symbol of the „Open Book“ remembers the wearer to familiazize himself with the „Instructions for Use“.
7. ProSafe XP hoods are antistatically treated and offer electrostatic protection according to EN1149-1. The person wearing the electrostatic dissipative protective clothing shall be properly earthed. The resistance between the person skin and earth shall be less than 108 Ω e.g. by wearing adequate footwear on dissipative or conductive floors; Electrostatic dissipative protective clothing shall not be open or removed whilst inpresence of flammable or explosive atmospheres or while handling flammable or explosive substances; electrostatic dissipative protective clothing is intended to be worn in Zones 1, 2, 20, 21 and 22 (see EN 60079-10-1 [7] and EN 60079-10-2 [8]) in which the minimum ignition energy of any explosive atmosphere is not less than 0,016 mJ; electrostatic dissipative protective clothing shall not be used in oxygen enriched atmospheres, or in Zone 0 (see EN 60079-10-1 [7]) without prior approval of the responsible safety engineer the electrostatic dissipative performance of the electrostatic dissipative protective clothing can be affected by wear and tear, laundering and possible contamination electrostatic dissipative protective clothing shall be worn in such a way that it permanently covers all non-complying materials during normal use (including bending movements).
8. ProSafe XP hoods are tested against infective agents according to EN 14126:2003.
