  General Requirements Guide

  EN ISO 21420:2020 is a standard that outlines general requirements and guidelines for protective gloves, aiming to ensure their quality, performance, and suitability for various applications. When a product meets the requirements outlined in the General Requirements section of EN ISO 21420:2020, it signifies that the gloves comply with fundamental quality and performance criteria, including factors such as size, fit, ergonomics, and dexterity. The practical implications of this compliance are significant, as it assures users of the gloves' basic functionality and suitability for general hand protection purposes across a range of industries and applications. The test method involves evaluating various aspects of the gloves, including dimensions, construction, materials, and labeling, to ensure conformity with the specified requirements. Compliance with these general requirements enhances user confidence in the protective gloves' reliability and effectiveness, promoting workplace safety and facilitating compliance with regulatory standards.

  Micro-organisms Bacteria & Fungi

  EN ISO 374-5:2016 is a standard that defines the requirements for gloves to protect against dangerous chemicals and micro-organisms, including bacteria and fungi. The test results indicating protection against Bacteria & Fungi confirm that the gloves have effectively passed the necessary evaluations to guard against these types of micro-organisms. The test method used assesses the glove's resistance to penetration and permeation by micro-organisms. The glove material undergoes specific challenges designed to ensure that pathogens such as bacteria and fungi cannot penetrate or permeate through the material under standard testing conditions. Practical implications of these results include assurance that gloves certified under this standard provide health professionals and others exposed to biohazards with a reliable barrier against potential infections caused by bacteria and fungi, which is crucial for both healthcare settings and lab environments.

  Specified Requirements Type A

  The standard EN ISO 374-1:2016/A1:2018 specifies requirements for protective gloves designed to protect the user against dangerous chemicals and micro-organisms. The Type A classification's result indicates that the gloves have undergone specific tests and met requirements for permeation resistance against a minimum of 6 test chemicals. This classification ensures that the gloves provide a high level of protection against the ingress of chemicals. For the Type A classification, the test method involves assessing the gloves' resistance to permeation by chemicals according to predefined conditions. The test involves exposing the glove material to the chemical and measuring the time it takes for the chemical to break through at a molecular level, without any visible leakage. This breakthrough time is crucial as it defines the glove's effectiveness in providing protection over a specified period when exposed to certain chemicals. The practical implication for procurement professionals is that selecting gloves with a Type A classification under EN ISO 374-1:2016/A1:2018 ensures a high level of chemical protection, making them suitable for environments where exposure to multiple and more hazardous chemicals is expected. This classification aids businesses in ensuring user safety and compliance with health and safety regulations concerning protective equipment.

• CE Marking

  CE Marking is a label that shows a product meets certain safety and environmental standards set by the European Union. To get the CE Marking, a company must test and certify their product meets these standards. CE Marking is required for many products sold in the EU, including electronics, machinery, toys and medical devices. It helps ensure that products are safe for consumers and the environment, and allows for easy trade within the EU.

• Food Safe

  Food safe refers to the safety of food products that are used or consumed by people. In Europe, food safety is regulated by the European Union (EU) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). These organizations set standards and requirements for food products to ensure they are safe to eat. To be considered "food safe" in Europe, a product must meet these standards and be free of harmful substances. This includes being free of harmful bacteria, pesticides, and other contaminants. Food products that do not meet these standards cannot be sold or used in the EU.

• PPE Category 3

  PPE stands for "personal protective equipment." PPE Category 3 refers to equipment that is complex and provide the highest level of protection such as powered respirators, SCBA, and full body suits. In Europe, PPE Category 3 must meet certain safety standards set by the European Union, which means that it must be designed and manufactured to protect the user without causing harm. Companies that make or sell PPE must prove that it meets these standards. They also must have a quality management system in place, have to be audited regularly by a notified body and have to have a technical documentation.
