What is the EN standard for gloves?
The results from this kind of test are divided into three performance levels, which are noted next to the pictogram. In terms of protection from chemicals, the time needed for a chemical to penetrate (permeate) the glove material is measured….DIN EN 374 – Protection from chemical risks.

What is EN511?
EN 511 is the European test used to assess Thermal gloves offering protection against Cold hazards. 3 tests are performed to assess how a glove performs in cold conditions, the results are shown as numbers under the symbol EN511:2006.
What is EN420?
EN420 is a European PPE glove standard that all types of safety gloves must earn before they can earn any other standard. Many of the requirements needed to make the grade are the reason why the glove has made it to the market.
What are cryogenic gloves?
Cryogenic gloves protect hands when handling extremely cold materials down to -300°F. The exterior of the glove repels liquids. These gloves are worn when processing frozen food, working in blood banks and labs, and when handling liquid nitrogen and dry ice.
Is EN 420 still valid?
From a standardization point of view and for the CEN, EN 420 will be deleted after September 30th, 2020. Therefore, we highly recommend you to apply EN ISO 21420:2020 for all your coming certification requests.
What is ASTM d6978?
Title. “Standard Practice for Assessment of Resistance of Medical Gloves to Permeation by Chemotherapy Drugs” Description. This practice covers a protocol for the assessment of resistance of medical glove materials to permeation by potentially hazardous cancer chemotherapy drugs under conditions of continuous contact.
What is the EN 388 cut resistance rating?
New Testing Methods and Scores The EN 388, similar to ANSI/ISEA 105, is the European standard used to evaluate mechanical risks for hand protection. Gloves with a EN 388 rating are third party tested, and rated for abrasion, cut, tear, and puncture resistance. Cut resistance is rated 1-5, while all other physical performance factors are rated 1-4.
Which is the old version of EN 388?
EN 388:2003 This is the old version of the standard against mechanical risks. The differences compared to the 2016 version are the paper grid in the abrasion test and how to perform testing of cut resistant fibers. Also not applicable to test impact protection.
How are protective gloves rated in EN 388?
In order to help users and safety managers determine the protection level of a pair of gloves, EN 388:2016 uses index values to rate the performance of a glove when protecting against various mechanical risks. These include abrasion, blade cut, tear, puncture and impact.
What’s the difference between EN 388 and ISO 13997?
The new EN 388 2016 standard uses both the “Coup Test” and the “TDM-100 Test” to measure cut resistance for a more accurate score. Also included in the updated standard is a new Impact Protection test. As discussed above, the most significant change to the EN 388 2016 standard is the formal inclusion of the ISO 13997 cut test method.
