The ALPRO antistatic-clogs Optimal protection against electrostatic discharges in operating theatres When walking on different surfaces, people gradually build up an electric charge. Given that even the smallest electrostatic discharge can lead to serious complications in operating theatres or intensive care wards, effective countermeasures must be taken. Antistatic clogs made of ALPRO -foam protect intensive care patients and sensitive operating theatre technology from such hazardous discharges. Charges are gently dissipated and larger electrostatic pulses are prevented. All A 650 and A 650 Air operating theatre clogs are equipped with replaceable antistatic footbeds. The A 470 AS clogs have an integrated, preformed footbed that, like the entire clog, is made of a fl exible, antistatic foam mixture. 1. 4. 2. 5. 3. 6. 60 Note: All articles on this doublepage are cleanable up to 60 C. 10

Double tested for unbeatable protection! The ISO standards are valid worldwide for protective and professional footwear The DIN EN ISO standards Ten years ago, a series of pan-european regulations were established for protective, professional and safety footwear. Based on the following regulations, TÜV Rheinland (German Technical Inspection Agency) tests and approves ALPRO models. DIN EN ISO 20344: Requirements and test methods DIN EN ISO 20345: Safety footwear specifi cations DIN EN ISO 20346: Protective footwear specifi cations DIN EN ISO 20347: Occupational footwear specifi cations Professional footwear refers to all shoes that have slip-resistant, antistatic or similar qualities. Generally speaking, occupational shoes are not equipped with any special toe protection. Models with toe protection are grouped in the categories of protective footwear (e.g. plastic caps, test energy up to 100 joules) or safety footwear (steel toe caps, test energy up to 200 joules). Classifi cation of standards SB: Standard (refers to general basic requirements; open-heel models can also be part of this classifi cation); S1: Standard safety footwear = SB + antistatic + energy absorption in heel area; S2: Standard safety footwear for wet areas; S3: Standard safety footwear for wet areas with puncture-resistant, profi led sole and closed-heel area ALPRO models certified in accordance with DIN EN ISO-standards The majority of ALPRO models meet one of the DIN EN ISO professional footwear standards. The ALPRO PU-clog without steel toecap complies with the DIN EN ISO 20347:2007, SRC, E, OB standard. The soles of our ALPRO models have been tested by TÜV Rheinland in accordance with DIN EN ISO 13287:2007. This regulation specifi es that at least one of the following three categories must be fulfi lled: SRA Slip resistance on ceramic tiles with cleaning agent SRB Slip resistance on steel fl oor with glycerol SRC Slip resistance on ceramic tiles with cleaning agent and on steel fl oors with glycerol ALPRO sandals and clogs with soft footbed and super-grip sole and ALPRO PU-clogs have passed the SRC category.

Made in Germany Quality, tradition and craftsmanship in shoes The cork-latex footbeds licensed by Birkenstock are, just like the super-grip sole, the fruit of German inventors. Decades of experience in shoe production coupled with cutting-edge engineering expertise more than qualify the super-grip clogs for daily use at work and at home: they have a slip-resistant effect, are resistant to oil and grease and offer unique and unbeatable comfort. 1. 2. Made in Germany more than just a certifi cate of origin All over the world, products that are made in Germany are considered to be of excellent quality. Nowadays, therefore, the original Made in Germany certifi cate of origin stands for much more: a commitment to quality that customers and trade partners all over the world have come to rely upon and trust. Not least for this reason, ALPRO regards Made in Germany as both an obligation and a mark of distinction. Since the foundation of our company, all of our sandals and clogs have been produced exclusively in Germany. Marketing, product development and sales activities are also organised here. This is an indispensable part of our company philosophy, and will never change. This also represents an added benefi t: we are present on site to carry out quality controls, whilst being able to collaborate with partners on the constant development of our shoes and ensure the high levels of quality you have come to expect from ALPRO! Concerning production activities in Germany, we take advantage of the latest technological developments and German engineering expertise to ensure we are always at the forefront. Thanks to this, many of our processes have been streamlined in the past few years to enhance effi ciency. One example is the doubling of press processes, which has led to improved quality and compliance with the latest environmental standards. 16

Well protected against electrostatic discharge The DIN EN ISO standards for ESD shoes Danger: electrostatic discharges ESD is the international abbreviation for electrostatic discharge. When two objects with different charges attract, a charge equalisation occurs often in the form of a visible spark or electric shock within the timeframe of a microsecond. For humans, this discharge can only be felt when it exceeds 3,000 volts. Nevertheless, 30 volts are enough to damage electronic components, and charges as low as fi ve volts can cause serious damage or even destroy sensitive high-frequency and semiconductor products such as microchips and PCBs. As a result of this, anyone who works with such sensitive components and/or wants to protect themselves and others from unpleasant shocks requires professional equipment to protect products and others from hazardous discharges and to prevent components from being destroyed. Protection: footwear with ESD resistance In accordance with DIN EN ISO 61340, ESD shoes provide reliable protection against the aforementioned danger of electrostatic discharge in the recommended contact resistance range between 10 5 and 3.4 10 7 ohm. In order to ensure that ESD shoes are effective, special conductive fl ooring must be fi tted correctly. The following factors should also be considered concerning electrostatic dissipation: interaction between various ground types and different sole materials (PU, EVA), clothing, type of touch and climate. ALPRO ESD models are certifi ed in accordance with DIN EN ISO ALPRO ESD sandals and clogs have been tested by TÜV Rheinland. All ALPRO ESD models fully comply with DIN EN ISO 61340 in the recommended contact resistance range between 10 5 and 3.4 10 7 ohm. Electrical contact resistance ESD shoes as a primary measure in the shoe / floor system The ALPRO ESD function All ESD models by ALPRO meet the specifi cations for professional ESD environments from 10 5 to 3.4 10 7 ohm in accordance with DIN EN ISO 61340.

Environmental protection on all levels Sustainable and environmentally friendly production methods Following nature s example Every ALPRO model takes its inspiration from nature. Nevertheless, our sandals and clogs are not only developed and produced based on anatomical considerations. During the entire production process, we work in close compliance with the latest environmental standards. And have been doing so since well before the topic became so prolifi c. Sustainable production Since the company was founded in 1993, we select our suppliers and producers based on a range of measures to protect the environment, including resource-friendly, CFC-free production methods, low-energy buildings, and warm-water generation from photovoltaic systems. Responsible catalogue production Our commitment to the environment is not only limited to direct production methods. The ALPRO catalogue is also printed on environmentally friendly FSC paper. Paper with FSC certifi cation is produced in complete harmony with the environment its components are yielded exclusively from sources of responsible forestry. In such practices, the sensitive forest ecosystem is encroached upon as little as possible. Nature is given enough time to regenerate and the forestry industry intervenes only when completely necessary. All of this has helped us to reduce our energy consumption by over 95% in the last 15 years our suppliers and production plants included. Modern recycling All surplus ALPRO foam and ALPRO cell materials left over from sole production are reused for instance, in the construction of children s play parks or sports centres, or as fl ooring or insulating material for noise protection. All of our cardboard boxes and packaging materials are completely recycled, too. In order to achieve this along with all of our customers and stockists, we have signed a waste disposal contract with Interseroh. This guarantees the correct and sustainable disposal of all ALPRO delivery and packaging materials. The ALPRO guarantee We guarantee that our activities on all levels fully comply with the latest European environmental standards incidentally, the most demanding in the world. We are able to do this because our production processes are carried out with the fi nest partners exclusively in Germany. Only those who meet our high requirements can collaborate with us in the production of ALPRO shoes. This is something you can rely on in the future, too! Selecting the correct length is just as important as choosing the proper width. You should have a few millimeters of space in the heel and toe areas. Your toes and heel should not touch the footbed rim. 38
