ASICS Gt-2000, Men's Gt-2000 9

Product Information

Workplaces and working areas, including those used only occasionally, and the access to them, must be designed and constructed in such a way as to prevent persons required to work or move in them from falling. Should the construction not be adequate, they must also be provided with anchorage points for personal protective equipment to prevent falls.

Opinion of the European Parliament of 6 April 1995 (OJ C 109, 1.5.1995, p. 122), confirmed on 27 October 1999 (not yet published in the Official Journal), Council common position of 28 June 1999 (OJ C 243, 27.8.1999, p. 1) and Decision of the European Parliament of 27 October 1999 (not yet published in the Official Journal). Council Decision of 16 December 1999. In the light of the committee's opinion and following consultations with the committee set up pursuant to Directive 98/34/EC in the case of harmonised European standards, the Commission shall inform the Member States whether or not it is necessary to withdraw the European specifications in question from the published information referred to in paragraph 3. The procedure for assessing safety component conformity shall be carried out at the request of the manufacturer or his authorised representative established in the Community by the notified body referred to in Article 16 and appointed by him for this purpose. The notified body must evaluate the modifications proposed and decide whether the amended quality system will still satisfy the requirements referred to in paragraph 3.2 or whether a reassessment is required. The upper has undergone some small changes in terms of material used. The GT 2000 9 has the same twin layer mesh as the 2000 8 but they have improved the fit and feel of it.A list of the relevant parts of the technical documentation must be annexed to the certificate and a copy kept by the notified body. If the notified body refuses to issue an EC-type certificate to the manufacturer, the former must provide detailed reasons for such refusal. Provision must be made for an appeals procedure. The other notified bodies may receive copies of the EC type-examination certificates and/or their additions. The Annexes to the certificates must be kept at the disposal of the other notified bodies.

Over my experiences of running in ASICS I have come to expect a balanced feeling when it comes to cushioning. This was not the case with the GT 2000 9. It was surprisingly firm.If a lot is rejected, the notified body or the competent authority must take appropriate measures to prevent the putting on the market of that lot. In the event of the frequent rejection of lots the notified body may suspend statistical verification. The manufacturer must operate an approved quality system for design, manufacture and final component inspection and testing as specified in point 3 and shall be subject to surveillance as specified in point 4.
