  Specified Requirements Type A

• 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 455-3:1999

  EN 455-3:1999 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 physical properties, dimensions, packaging, freedom from holes and freedom from powder. Test results can include measurements of the gloves' physical properties, dimensions, packaging, freedom from holes and freedom from powder.

  Biological Evaluation Tested

  The EN 455-3:1999 standard evaluates the biological safety of medical gloves for single use. It focuses on tests that determine acceptable levels of endotoxins, protein content to minimize allergic reactions, and leachable substances which could have harmful effects. Essentially, the test results from EN 455-3:1999 determine if the tested gloves release any potential allergens or toxic chemicals that could harm users, ensuring product safety in regards to biological factors.

• EN 455-2:1995

  EN 455-2:1995 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 physical properties, dimensions, and packaging. Test results can include measurements of the gloves' physical properties, dimensions, and packaging.

  Physical Properties Tested

  The European standard EN 455-2:1995 deals with the requirements and testing for physical properties of medical gloves. This test evaluates the physical strength and durability of gloves to ensure they are safe for use in medical settings. The specified test result from EN 455-2:1995, such as tensile strength and elongation, indicates how much force a glove can withstand before breaking and how much it can stretch, respectively. The test methods typically involve applying a force to a glove material to measure its tensile strength and elongation. These measured properties help classify gloves' suitability for various medical tasks, providing critical information for users regarding the gloves' resilience and flexibility. Thus, manufacturers and procurement professionals can use this metric to assess the quality and appropriateness of medical gloves for specific applications, ensuring safety and compliance with EU regulations in medical environments.

• EN 455-1:1993

  EN 455-1:1993 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, and packaging. Test results can include measurements of the gloves' freedom from holes, tensile strength, elongation and packaging.

  Tightness AQL #,##

  EN 455-1:1993 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 455-4:2009

  EN 455-4:2009 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, dimensions, packaging, freedom from powder, freedom from protein and freedom from endotoxins. Test results can include measurements of the gloves' freedom from holes, dimensions, packaging, freedom from powder, freedom from protein and freedom from endotoxins.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.
