In the watch industry, water resistance is generally indicated as meters, which means the static water pressure of that
depth. Polar uses this same indication system. Water resistance of Polar products is tested according to International
Standard ISO 22810 or IEC60529. Every Polar device that has water resistance indication is tested before the delivery to
stand water pressure.
Polar products are divided into four different categories according to their water resistance. Check the back of your Polar
product for the water resistance category, and compare it to the chart below. Please note that these definitions do not
necessarily apply to products of other manufacturers.
When performing any underwater activity, the dynamic pressure generated by moving in water is greater than the static
pressure. This means that moving the product under water subjects it to a greater pressure than if the product were
stationary.

REGULATORY INFORMATION
This product is compliant with Directives 2014/53/EU, 2011/65/EU and 2015/863/EU. The relevant
Declaration of Conformity and other regulatory information for each product are available at
www.polar.com/en/regulatory_information.
This crossed out wheeled bin marking shows that Polar products are electronic devices and are in the
scope of Directive 2012/19/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on waste electrical and
electronic equipment (WEEE) and batteries and accumulators used in products are in the scope of
Directive 2006/66/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 September 2006 on
batteries and accumulators and waste batteries and accumulators. These products and
batteries/accumulators inside Polar products should thus be disposed of separately in EU countries.
Polar encourages you to minimize possible effects of waste on the environment and human health
also outside the European Union by following local waste disposal regulations and, where possible,
utilize separate collection of electronic devices for products, and battery and accumulator collection
for batteries and accumulators.
