  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 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.

  Specified Requirements Type B

• 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 Bacteria & Fungi

  EN 374-5:2016 specifies the requirements and test methods for protective gloves intended to protect against bacteria and fungi. The designation 'Bacteria & Fungi' indicates that the gloves have been tested and verified to provide effective barrier protection against microbial agents. The testing involves evaluating the glove's material and seams for their impermeability to microorganisms under conditions that simulate real-world use, ensuring no penetration occurs through the glove material or at the seams. Gloves certified under this standard are crucial for use in environments such as healthcare, laboratory settings, and any applications where preventing the transmission of infectious agents is essential. They help ensure the safety and hygiene of workers by providing reliable protection against the risks of bacterial and fungal contamination.

  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 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.

• 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.
