Safety at Josanto

Your Rain Ponchos According to the General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR)

At Josanto, we place the utmost importance on the safety and health of our customers. Our rain ponchos meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR) of the European Union to ensure that all products we offer pose no danger to consumers. This regulation requires that only safe products are placed on the market, which do not present any risk to health and safety. On this page, we provide you with an overview of potential hazards and the measures we have taken to ensure the highest safety standards.

Potential Hazards when Wearing Rain Ponchos

While rain ponchos provide protection from bad weather, they can, like any other product, pose dangers if used improperly. As part of the GPSR, we have identified the following sources of danger and taken measures to minimize them:

1. Slip Hazard When Wet
   A wet poncho can increase the risk of slipping on smooth or uneven surfaces. Especially in heavy rain or on slippery ground, it’s important to pay attention to the fit and design of the poncho to minimize the risk of falls.
2. Limited Visibility in Poor Lighting Conditions
   Especially at dusk, in darkness, or fog, limited visibility can lead to dangerous situations, particularly in road traffic. Therefore, we offer our ponchos in bright colors and equip them with reflective elements upon request to increase visibility.
3. Entanglement and Snagging
   Rain ponchos that are too long or not well-fitted can get caught on branches, fences, or other objects, which can restrict freedom of movement. We ensure that our ponchos are well-cut and easy to wear to avoid such risks.
4. Skin Irritations or Allergic Reactions
   Materials that come into contact with the skin can cause skin irritations or allergic reactions, especially with prolonged wear or moisture. We only use skin-friendly and breathable fabrics that meet the requirements of the GPSR and do not pose health risks to the wearer.

Our Safety Measures According to the General Product Safety Regulation (GPSR)

The safety of our products is ensured through comprehensive measures that comply with the requirements of the GPSR. These include:

1. Compliance with Safety Standards
   Our rain ponchos comply with EU product safety guidelines and are regularly checked for safety. All materials and designs used are chosen to pose no danger to the consumer and meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulation.
2. Use of Safe Materials
   All materials used are approved according to EU safety standards and do not contain any harmful chemicals. Particularly in terms of skin compatibility and breathability, we ensure that our products do not release any harmful substances.
3. Non-Slip Surfaces and Ergonomic Design
   Our rain ponchos are equipped with non-slip materials that reduce the risk of falls. Additionally, the ergonomic design ensures a comfortable fit that provides freedom of movement and prevents entanglement.
4. Reflective Elements for Better Visibility
   To increase safety in poor lighting conditions, our ponchos can be equipped with reflective strips that improve the wearer’s visibility and thus reduce the risk of accidents – especially in road traffic.
5. Strict Quality Controls
   Our rain ponchos undergo rigorous tests to ensure they meet the highest safety requirements. This includes tests for material quality, durability, and compliance with the safety requirements of the GPSR.

Important Notes on Product Safety According to GPSR:

• Risk Management: All our products are developed considering potential hazards and risks. Through continuous testing and adjustments, we ensure that our ponchos always comply with the latest safety regulations.
• Traceability and Transparency: As a manufacturer and importer, we ensure the traceability of our products to ensure that all safety requirements are met and that we can quickly respond to potential problems if necessary. For this purpose, we label each batch with its own number, which we can trace back and assign for at least 10 years.
