ESD sandal ARIZONA Birko-Flor, blue, narrow width, cork latex footbed - Birkenstock 89438

Anyone who spends eight hours on their feet in semiconductor production or electronics assembly needs a shoe that drains static charge and still stays comfortable. The two-strap ARIZONA ESD sandal carries the wearer charge away through a cork latex footbed in ESD design and a cushioning EVA outsole. BIRKENSTOCK tests every ESD model to DIN EN 61340. An ESD workplace to DIN EN 61340-5-1 requires the person, shoe and floor system to stay below 100 MOhm, so that no component is damaged by a discharge on the way to the machine.

What this model delivers

• Dissipation as a system. Footbed and outsole are both built in ESD design and the ESD protection is tested to EN 61340. The shoe covers its share of the DIN EN 61340-5-1 requirement of less than 100 MOhm for person, shoe and floor combined.
• Original cork latex footbed, anatomically shaped. It spreads body weight across the whole sole area instead of loading heel and ball. That is what counts when a shift is spent mostly standing.
• Two adjustable metal pin buckles. Each strap can be set separately, so the fit follows the instep and holds all day.
• Narrow width. The model is built on two lasts, narrow and regular. This version is the narrow last, which lets a whole department be fitted properly instead of through one universal width.
• Suede leather cover sole. The open-pored surface breathes and takes up moisture, keeping the foot climate comfortable during physical work.
• Low weight. 715 g net weight as stated by the manufacturer, and every gram saved pays off over a full shift.
• Clearly defined: no toe cap. The datasheet lists no toe cap and no protection class to EN ISO 20345. The shoe belongs at workplaces where the risk assessment does not call for toe protection.

Technical data

Applications

Semiconductor production and cleanroom environments, electronics assembly and repair, test and measurement benches, order picking inside EPA zones and laboratories. Wherever an EPA to DIN EN 61340-5-1 is operated and no toe or midsole protection is prescribed.

Standards and conformity

ESD protection tested to EN 61340, the ESD standard given in the supplier datasheet is DIN EN 61340. The shoe has no toe cap and is therefore not a safety shoe to EN ISO 20345, no protection class is stated. The manufacturer is BIRKENSTOCK Global Sales GmbH in Linz am Rhein, Germany.
