  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.

  Physical Properties Tested

  EN 455-2:2009 is a European Standard specifically designed for determining the physical properties of medical gloves. The result showing that gloves have been tested under EN 455-2:2009 indicates that the gloves meet the criteria for physical performance as prescribed by this standard. The testing method, as laid out in EN 455-2:2009, includes assessments of the gloves’ tensile strength and elongation before and after aging, force at break, and dimensions, among other properties. This rigorous testing ensures that the medical gloves will perform reliably under typical conditions of use. Compliance with this standard is critical for gloves used in medical settings, as it confirms the product's capability to withstand practical use without failure, ensuring safety and effectiveness for both healthcare providers and patients.

• EN 455-1:2020+A1:2022

  EN 455-1:2020+A1:2022 is a European standard for disposable medical gloves. It sets out the definition, performance requirements and test methods for this type of gloves. The standard includes requirements for freedom from holes, tensile strength, elongation, packaging, freedom from powder, freedom from protein, freedom from endotoxins, and freedom from pyrogens. Test results can include measurements of the gloves' freedom from holes, tensile strength, elongation, packaging, freedom from powder, freedom from protein, freedom from endotoxins and freedom from pyrogens. This version of the standard includes some changes and updates from the 2020 version.

  Tightness AQL #,##

  EN 455-1:2020+A1:2022 sets the standards for medical gloves for single use, focusing on freedom from holes and ensuring glove integrity. The 'Tightness' test result, indicated by an Acceptable Quality Level (AQL) value, measures the quality level acceptable for the pinhole rate in glove batches. A lower AQL value, such as 1.5, typically used in medical settings, signifies a higher level of quality control where fewer gloves with defects are allowed. The testing for this standard involves randomly selecting gloves from a batch and filling them with water to check for leaks. Gloves that pass this test at a certain AQL value are deemed safe for use in medical and surgical procedures, where maintaining a sterile environment is crucial to prevent contamination and infection. This certification ensures that users can rely on the protective barrier of the gloves against pathogens and other contaminants.

• 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.

  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.

• 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.
