RISKS AGAINST WHICH THE PRODUCT IS DESIGNED TO PROTECT:
This garment only provides partial body protection and is intended to protect the arms and the front part of the body
exposed to risk. It is designed to oer chemical protection and protection against heat and ame based on the specic uses in accordance with requirements of the standards and the classes for which the apron is certied.
The standards and classes are displayed in the CE-label in the apron. It must be used in combination with a heat and ame protective suit that covers the upper and lower torso, neck, arms and legs. It is designed to oer
limitedprotectionagainst shortame contact, small, certainformsof heat transfer,moltenmetalsplash, thermal risk fromelectricarcand as anescapegarmenttopotentially reduceskin burns or increasesurvivalprobability
in the event of a ash re if worn in combination with a heat and ame protective suit (conform to EN ISO 11612:2015). It is typically used, depending on toxicity and exposure conditions, for protection against certain organic
and inorganic liquids. Fabric used for this garment has passed all tests of EN 14126:2003. Under the exposure conditions, as dened in EN 14126:2003 and mentioned in the above table, the obtained results conclude that
the material oers a barrier against infective agents.
LIMITATIONS OF USE
:
This garment is not intended for re-ghting activities, and is designed to provide specic level of protection against certain chemicals, and if worn in combination with a heat and ame protective
suit also against short ame contact, molten metals, electrical arc or thermal radiation based on the standards and classes met by this garment as displayed in the above tables and on the CE-label in the garment.The garment does
not protect against all kind of electric arcs. Deviations from the parameters in this document may result in more severe conditions. This garment is not intended to be used as electrical insulating protective clothing and does not
provide protection against electrical shock. It is designed and tested to help reduce injury during escape from a re. It is intended to help reduce the potential for injury, but no protective apparel alone, can eliminate all risks of injury
or death. Protective apparel must be used in conjunction with general safety practices by trained personal. In the event of a molten metal splash the user shall leave the working area immediately and take o the garment. In the
eventofa molten metalsplash,the garment, if wornnextto the skin,willnot eliminate all risksofburn injury.No garmentssuchas shirts,pants,undergarmentsor underwearwhich melt underheat,ameand arc exposures shall be
worn underneath this garment.The use of Nomex® or non-melting undergarments is recommended. The air trapped between layers of material plays an important part in providing heat insulation.The protection is reduced in areas
whicharetighttting or compressed by belt or straps.Theaproncanonly provideprotectionif interfaces betweenthisapronwithother garments at the neck,wristsand ankles is adequate.Thefabricusedin this garment isinherently
antistatic on the inside surface only and this garment meets the surface requirements of EN 1149-5:2018 when measured according to EN 1149-3:2004. This shall be taken into consideration if the apron is grounded.The electrostatic
dissipativeperformance of both theapronandthe wearerneeds to be continuously achieved insucha wayas the resistance betweenthepersonwearingthe electrostatic dissipative protectiveclothing and theearth shall be lessthan
108 Ohm e.g. by wearing adequate footwear/ooring system, use of a grounding cable, or by any other suitable means. Always verify correct grounding via a test with a monitoring device. Electrostatic dissipative clothing shall not
be opened or removed whilst in presence of ammable or explosive atmospheres or while handling ammable 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 0.016mJ. Electrostatic dissipative clothing shall not be used in oxygen enriched atmospheres, or in
Zone 0 (see EN 60079-10-1 [7]) without prior approval of the safety engineer.The electrostatic dissipative performance of the electrostatic dissipative protective clothing can be aected by wear and tear and possible contamination.
Electrostatic dissipative protective clothing shall permanently cover all non-complying materials during normal use (including bending and movements). In situations where static dissipation level is a critical performance
property,endusers shouldevaluatethe performanceoftheirentireensembleaswornincluding outergarments,inner garments,footwear andother PPE.Furtherinformationongroundingcanbeprovidedby DuPont. According to the
current European standard (EN 14605:2005 + A1 2009; Type PB [3-B] for Chemical Protective Clothing Category III, this garment oers partial body protection and has not been tested according to the whole Jet test ( EN ISO 17491-3).
Exposure to certain very ne particles, intensive liquid sprays or splashes of hazardous substances may require garments of higher mechanical strength and/or barrier properties than those oered by this garment. The user must
ensure garment barrier compatibility to all chemical exposure risks before use. For enhanced protection in certain applications, whole suit chemical protective garments underneath with taping of cus, ankles and hood may be
considered.Taping of the garment may negatively impact protective properties against heat and ame, thermal radiation, electric arc and metal splash. If tape is used, the wearer shall use a ame resistant/high temperature tape.
Tape must not negatively impact dong process in case of an emergency.This fabric oers little or no thermal insulation to protect the wearer’s skin from prolonged exposure to hot or cold. The temperature range for the fabric and
seams it well beyond the temperatures that the human skin can withstand without injury.The user shall perform a risk analysis, including a verication of the barrier properties against the chemicals of concern, upon which he shall
basehis choice ofPPE.He shall be thesolejudge regarding the combination ofthepartial bodyprotectiveapronwithancillary equipment(boots,gloves, respiratoryprotectiveequipment,undergarmentsetc.)and for howlong athis
garment can be worn on a specic job with respect to its protective performance, wearing comfort and heat stress. DuPont shall not accept any responsibility for improper use of its products.
