Introduction
In abrasive blasting, the worker is exposed to hazards caused by the abrasive (direct projection and rebounding
abrasives) and substances produced during the abrasive blasting operation. Depending on the working conditions,
the protection against these hazards requires suitable protective clothing as well as suitable respiratory protective
equipment. For clothing connected to respiratory protective devices, this standard takes into account the
specifications regarding respiratory protective equipment (CEN/TC 79).

1 Scope
This European Standard specifies minimum requirements and test methods for protective clothing for abrasive
blasting operations and for hand protection, for the treatment of surfaces with granular abrasives propelled by
compressed air or by mechanical means. The protection against substances that develop during the blasting
operation as well as connections between the protective clothing and the respiratory protective device are also
covered.
This European Standard does not apply to steam blasting, jet blasting and flame blasting operations.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this European Standard, the terms and definitions of EN 340 and EN 420 and the following
terms and definitions apply.
3.1
abrasive blasting operation
method for the treatment of surfaces by directing propelled abrasives onto the surface. During the blasting
operation the abrasive blasting operator and the blasted material are in a confined room or outdoors. The abrasive
blasting operator is directly exposed to the abrasive rebounding from the blasted material, the carrier medium and
developing dusts
3.2
abrasives
granular materials that are directed onto the surface of the blasted material at a high speed for surface treatment
3.3
abrasive blasting combination
combination of protective clothing protecting against the risks arising in abrasive blasting operations and suitable
respiratory protective equipment
4 Requirements
4.1 General
Materials that may come into direct contact with the wearer's skin shall not be known to be likely to cause skin
irritation or any other adverse effect to health.
The finish of any part of the equipment likely to be in contact with the wearer shall be free from sharp edges and
burrs.
4.2 Requirements for protective gloves for abrasive blasting operations
4.2.1 General requirements
Protective gloves for abrasive blasting operations shall comply with the requirements specified in EN 420:1994, 4.1,
4.2, 4.4, and 4.5.
The protective performance of the gloves shall be ensured evenly for all parts of the hand.
4.2.2 Abrasion resistance of glove materials
When tested in accordance with 5.2.1, the abrasion resistance of the glove material shall meet at least
performance level 3 in accordance with EN 388:1994, clause 4. This corresponds to an abrasion resistance of
2 000 cycles.
4.2.3 Blade cut resistance of glove materials
When tested in accordance with 5.2.2, the blade cut resistance of the glove material shall meet at least
performance level 1 in accordance with EN 388:1994, clause 4. This corresponds to a blade cut resistance of
index 1,2.
4.2.4 Tear resistance of glove materials
When tested in accordance with 5.2.3, the tear resistance of the glove material shall meet at least performance
level 3 in accordance with EN 388:1994, clause 4.
