  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 374-4:2013

  EN 374-4:2013 is a European standard for gloves that protect against microorganisms. It sets rules for how the gloves should protect against microorganisms and how to test if they meet the standards. Gloves that pass the tests can have a label that says they meet the standard. The test results can be pass or fail for each test that checks the gloves resistance to microorganisms.

  Degradation Tested

  The standard EN 374-4:2013 pertains to the determination of degradation by chemicals for protective gloves. Degradation is assessed based on the change in physical properties of the glove material after contact with a chemical. Specifically, a result indicating degradation provides a measure of the glove's deterioration in terms of features like tensile strength and elongation when exposed to specific chemicals, gauged through physical tests such as elongation and tensile tests. The test method involves exposing the glove material to the chemical over a determined period, followed by mechanical testing to compare the pre and post-exposure properties. This result is crucial in determining the glove's suitability for use with specific chemicals, as degradation can significantly reduce its protective effectiveness, potentially endangering the user. Hence, understanding and adhering to this standard helps in the selection of appropriate protective gloves for specific chemical exposure scenarios, ensuring user safety and compliance with health and safety regulations.

• EN ISO 374-1:2016

  EN ISO 374-1:2016 is a standard that defines the performance requirements for gloves that protect against chemicals and microorganisms. The standard specifies the design, materials, and testing requirements for gloves to protect against chemicals and microorganisms. Possible test results include measurements of the gloves' permeation resistance, degradation, and penetration. It also includes the safety and functionality requirements for gloves.

• EN 374-5:2016

  EN 374-5:2016 is a European standard for gloves that protect against microorganisms, specifically gloves that are used for medical and dental procedures. It sets rules for how the gloves should protect against microorganisms and how to test if they meet the standards. Gloves that pass the tests can have a label that says they meet the standard. The test results can be pass or fail for each test that checks the gloves resistance to microorganisms.

  Micro-organisms Virus

  EN 374-5:2016 is a standard that outlines the requirements and testing methods for protective gloves designed to protect against viruses. The designation 'Virus' indicates that the gloves have passed specific tests confirming their barrier effectiveness against viruses. These tests involve assessing the glove material's resistance to penetration by blood-borne pathogens and other virus-containing fluids, using a bacteriophage as a surrogate virus due to its small size and resistance. Gloves that meet this standard are vital in healthcare settings, laboratories, and any environment where there is a risk of exposure to viral infections. They are crucial for preventing the transmission of diseases, ensuring that workers are protected when handling potentially infectious materials, thus enhancing safety and health protocols in workplaces with biological hazards.

• EN 420:1994

  EN 420:1994 is a European standard that specifies general requirements for protective gloves. It sets rules for the design, construction, and testing of gloves to ensure they are safe for the user and others nearby. Testing includes measurements of mechanical properties, such as abrasion resistance, cut resistance and tear resistance, as well as for harmful substances, such as phthalates. The standard also includes requirements for labeling and instructions for use. It's intended to ensure that the gloves provide appropriate level of protection, comfort, and ergonomics and to help the users to choose suitable gloves for their specific application.

• 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.
