If necessary, users can try on the apron in order to determine the correct size needed.
If users’ measurements are smaller than the minimum size, they can still wear the apron
if it is guaranteed that it fits correctly.
Tailor-made aprons can be produced any time at short notice if users cannot find the
right one from the standard sizes shown in this chart. In such cases, please contact your
local
EUROFLEX

specialist dealer.
The European Standard 13998: 2003 allows for 2 different categories of protection:

tection against cutting but not permitted for protection against stabbing. Test

How to wear your protective apron
Once you have taken the apron out of the packaging, attach the straps ensuring that the
strap hooks are on the outside and the strap adjuster can be reached from the outside.
The badge on the protective apron must be readable.
Adjust the length of the straps to ensure unhindered movement, the
EUROFLEX
®
pro-
tective apron should however be fitted tightly to the body.

Bolero aprons with one arm are supplied with the left arm, this can howe-
ver be changed to the right arm by turning the apron inside out. The cuff tape at the end
of the sleeve must be in close contact with the arm, and it should be covered for at least
10 cm by a metal ring woven-material glove with a turned-up cuff. The same applies, in
the case of Boleros with two sleeves, to the hand which is feeding the product or object.
The leg straps on the
EUROFLEX
®
protective leg guard are to be positioned in such a
way that the protective fabric covers the crotch area and that all vulnerable areas are
covered to protect them during all possible moves.
