ESD safety low shoe SL 940 BOA blue 2.0 S1 SR, SportLine textile, width 10, black/royal blue - Atlas 61700

Anyone entering and leaving the EPA several times a shift wants the shoe tight or open within seconds. The SL 940 BOA blue 2.0 solves that with the BOA dial and remains a full S1 low shoe under EN ISO 20345:2022 with the additional requirement SR. ESD compliant to DIN EN 61340-5-1 with a resistance below 100 megohms, alu-tec cap rated for 200 joules and 15 kN. SportLine textile upper, standard width 10, EU 36 to 49.

What this model delivers on the floor

• The wearer's static charge drains in a controlled way through lining, sole and floor instead of discharging into a component. For its ESD models ATLAS states a resistance below 100 megohms, measured by the person-shoe-floor method of DIN EN 61340-5-1. The footwear standard EN ISO 20345 only requires antistatic shoes to sit between 100 kilohms and 1000 megohms, and that wide band is not enough for an EPA. In daily use the tighter figure means no assembly lost because someone walked from the test bench to the machine.
• S1 in plain words: closed heel area, antistatic build, 20 joules of energy absorption in the heel and a fuel-resistant outsole. Since the 2022 edition the additional requirement SR stands for the passed slip test on ceramic tile with glycerine.
• The toe cap is aluminium rather than steel. The alu-tec cap passes the same EN ISO 20345 test at 200 joules of impact energy and 15 kN of compression, weighs noticeably less and moves the centre of gravity towards the middle of the foot, which makes trips caused by imbalance rarer. Aluminium behaves thermally neutral and forms no cold bridge inside the shoe.
• The BOA Fit System replaces lacing with a finely adjustable dial, hard-wearing lace cords and low-friction guides. A few turns and the shoe sits evenly across the instep, it can be readjusted with gloves on and it opens completely at the push of a button. Loose laces that catch in a conveyor are gone.
• The SportLine upper is a textile fabric that is particularly air permeable and makes the shoe noticeably lighter than a leather build. On top of that the clima-stream concept balances the moisture inside the shoe and regulates the temperature, so the foot climate stays bearable even in a heated hall. Cushioning for eight hours on your feet. The MPU INNOFLEX outsole guides the force along the INNOFLEX LINE from heel to toe, and the MPU REBOUND SYSTEM takes the energy up in large tread areas and returns it into the next step. Behind it works the aktiv-X functional lining, which moves moisture away, does not stain and stays abrasion resistant.
• Width 10 is the ATLAS standard width and already cut wider than a common safety shoe last. It fits most of a workforce, which keeps procurement for a whole department simple. Anyone who needs more volume in the forefoot gets the same model as article 61712 in the extra wide width 12.

Areas of use

Electronics production and EPA workstations, test field and final assembly, order picking and indoor transport, shift work with frequent moves between zones. For workplaces with a penetration risk choose a version with an XP insert instead.

Standards and conformity

EN ISO 20345:2022, protection class S1 with the additional requirement SR. The 2022 edition replaced the former markings SRA, SRB and SRC. Slip resistance on tile with detergent has become a basic requirement, and SR denotes the additionally passed test on tile with glycerine. ESD compliant in the sense of DIN EN 61340-5-1, the standard for the electrostatic protected area, with a resistance below 100 megohms by the person-shoe-floor method. Personal protective equipment of risk category II under Regulation (EU) 2016/425, CE marked, the EU declaration of conformity is available from the manufacturer. Approved for orthopaedic insoles under DGUV rule 112-191, where the marking inside the shoe is what counts. The manufacturer is the ATLAS shoe factory in Dortmund.
