ESD safety low shoe FLASH 5405 XP S3, SportLine textile, width 10, black/blue - Atlas 20900

Anyone walking from the bench to the machine in electronics production builds up static charge on the way. The FLASH 5405 XP drains that charge through sole and floor, which makes it built for EPA use to DIN EN 61340-5-1. At the same time it is a full S3 shoe to EN ISO 20345: the alu-tec toe cap withstands 200 joules of impact energy and 15 kN of compression, and the metal-free XP insert sits underneath against nails and wire. This version is built in width 10 (standard).

What this model delivers on the floor

• Charge is drained instead of discharged. The shoe is ESD compliant to DIN EN 61340-5-1. That standard requires the person, footwear and floor system inside an EPA to stay below 100 MΩ, and the antistatic level of EN ISO 20345 sits between 0.1 and 1000 MΩ. In practice: no component killed by a discharge on the way from the bench to the machine.
• S3 in plain words: closed heel, antistatic, 20 joules of energy absorption in the heel area, plus a water-repellent upper, penetration resistance and a cleated outsole. That is the level asked for on shop floors with swarf, wire and wet patches.
• Aluminium toe cap instead of steel. The alu-tec cap passes the same EN ISO 20345 test at 200 joules of impact energy and 15 kN of compression, weighs less and forms no cold bridge inside the shoe.
• Metal-free penetration resistance. The XP aramid textile insert withstands the 1100 newton test nail, stays flexible and leaves the foot its natural torsion. Metal-free also means no cold bridge and no alarm at a metal detector.
• Cushioning where the impact lands. The MPU INNOFLEX outsole guides force along the INNOFLEX LINE from heel to toe, the CLOUDZONE in the heel absorbs the shock and the flex grooves let the foot roll naturally. Built for shifts spent mostly walking and standing.
• SportLine textile upper instead of leather: air-permeable and hydrophobic, so water-repellent and quick-drying. Inside, the aktiv-X functional lining regulates moisture, does not stain and resists abrasion.
• Width 10 is the standard width of this range and fits most of a workforce, which keeps procurement for a whole department simple.

Technical data

Areas of use

Electronics production and PCB assembly inside the EPA, test and rework benches, cleanroom ante-rooms, assembly and order picking with long walking distances, and storage areas where nails, swarf or strapping remnants call for penetration resistance.

Standards and conformity

EN ISO 20345, protection class S3, slip resistance SRC. SRC means the shoe passed both the ceramic tile test with detergent and the steel floor test with glycerine, a marking that belongs to the EN ISO 20345:2011 edition. ESD compliant in the sense of DIN EN 61340-5-1. Personal protective equipment of risk category II under Regulation (EU) 2016/425, CE marked. Approved for orthopaedic insoles under DGUV rule 112-191. The marking inside the shoe is what counts. Made by the ATLAS shoe factory in Dortmund.
