  Specified Requirements Type B

  The standard EN ISO 374-1:2016/A1:2018 specifies that a Type B glove must pass performance requirements for permeation resistance against at least three specified dangerous chemicals. The results listed under Type B indicate the glove's ability to prevent the permeation of specific chemicals. This test determines if the material of the glove can resist permeation for a minimum of 30 minutes against at least three tested chemicals from a list that includes several dozen potentially hazardous chemicals. The practical implication of this result for protective gloves is significant, as it ensures that the gloves are suitable for use in environments where exposure to these specific chemicals is likely. Compliance with Type B standards assures users that the gloves provide an adequate barrier against chemical hazards, making them essential for ensuring safety in chemical handling, laboratory work, and various industrial applications.

  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.

• EN 421:2010

  EN 421:2010 is a European standard that specifies requirements and test methods for gloves to protect against ionizing radiation and radioactive contamination. The standard is applicable to gloves offering protection to the hand and various parts of the arm and shoulder. It applies also to gloves to be mounted in permanent containment enclosures.

  Radiation & Contamination Tested

  EN 421:2010 is a European standard designed to address radiation protection for protective clothing. Its purpose is to ensure that protective clothing worn in environments where there is a risk of radiation exposure provides adequate protection to the wearer. One of the critical aspects tested under this standard is the resistance of the protective clothing to penetration by radioactive contamination. This test result signifies the ability of the clothing to prevent radioactive particles from reaching the wearer's skin, thereby minimizing the risk of contamination and radiation exposure. The test method involves exposing the protective clothing to a specific level of radioactive contamination and then assessing whether any penetration occurs. Practical implications of this result for the product category include ensuring that protective clothing meets stringent safety standards, thereby safeguarding the health and well-being of individuals working in radiation-prone environments such as nuclear facilities or medical facilities handling radioactive materials.

• EN ISO 374-5:2016

  EN ISO 374-5:2016 is a standard that sets rules for testing gloves against chemicals. The standard outlines the performance requirements for gloves to protect against specific chemicals. The test results will show if the gloves meet these requirements or not. Possible test results include information on the gloves' resistance against different chemicals and the duration of protection.

• 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.

• 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.

• MD Label

  MD stands for "Medical Device." It refers to any instruments, apparatus, machines, implants, or other similar or related articles that are intended to be used for human beings for the purpose of diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment or alleviation of disease, injury or disability. In Europe, a MD Label is a special label that must be on all Medical Devices that are sold or used in the European Union (EU). The label must include information about the product, such as the name of the manufacturer, the intended use of the product and CE mark. To be able to sell or use a Medical Device in the EU, the device must meet certain standards and requirements set by the European Union and notified body.

• 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.
