Protective gloves - General requirements and test methods

This standard defines the general requirements and relevant test procedures for glove design and construction, resistance of glove materials to water penetration, innocuousness, comfort and efficiency, marking and information supplied by the manufacturer applicable to all protective gloves.
NOTE   It can also be applicable to arm protectors and gloves permanently incorporated in containment enclosures.
This European Standard does not address the protective properties of gloves and therefore should not be used alone but only in combination with the appropriate specific European Standard(s).
A non exhaustive list of these standards is given in the Bibliography.

Schutzhandschuhe - Allgemeine Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren

Diese Norm legt die für alle Schutzhandschuhe anzuwendenden relevanten Prüfverfahren und die allgemeinen Anforderungen zu Gestaltungsgrundsätzen, Handschuhkonfektionierung, Widerstand des Handschuhmaterials gegen Wasserdurchdringung, Unschädlichkeit, Komfort und Leistungsvermögen sowie die vom Hersteller vorzu-nehmende Kennzeichnung und vom Hersteller zu liefernden Informationen fest.
ANMERKUNG   Sie kann auch auf Armschutz und auf Handschuhe angewendet werden, die ständig in geschlossenen Behältnissen eingesetzt werden.
Diese Europäische Norm befasst sich nicht mit den schützenden Eigenschaften von Handschuhen und ist daher nie alleine, sondern nur in Kombination mit den zutreffenden spezifischen Europäischen Normen anzuwenden.
Eine nicht abschließende Liste dieser Normen enthalten die Literaturhinweise dieser Norm.

Gants de protection - Exigences générales et méthodes d'essai

La présente Norme européenne définit les exigences générales et les procédures d'essai concernant l'ergonomie et la construction du gant, la résistance des matériaux constitutifs à la pénétration de l'eau, l'innocuité, le confort et l'efficacité, le marquage et l'information fournie par le fabricant applicables à tous les gants de protection.
NOTE   Elle peut aussi s'appliquer aux protecteurs du bras et aux gants incorporés de manière permanente à des enceintes fermées.
Cette présente Norme européenne ne concerne pas les propriétés de protection des gants et ne doit donc pas être utilisée seule mais seulement en association avec le(s) Norme(s) européenne(s) spécifique(s) appropriée(s).
Une liste non exhaustive de ces normes est donnée dans la bibliographie.
