Overview

EN ISO 374-1:2016 - "Protective gloves against dangerous chemicals and micro-organisms - Part 1" defines terminology and the performance requirements for protective gloves intended to guard users against dangerous chemicals. Prepared by CEN in alignment with ISO 374-1:2016, this standard sets the framework for sampling, testing and marking of chemical-protective gloves and clarifies key concepts such as permeation, penetration and degradation. It does not replace other specific performance standards for mechanical, thermal or electrostatic risks - those must be applied in addition as needed.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Terminology: Clear definitions for terms used across glove testing and certification (e.g., dangerous chemicals, protective glove material, permeation, penetration, degradation).
  • Sampling rules: Procedures for selecting test specimens (e.g., palm area or cuff) to ensure representative testing for permeation, penetration and degradation.
  • Performance requirements:
    • Penetration resistance (EN 374-2 referenced): detection of leaks, seams and pinholes on a non-molecular level.
    • Degradation assessment (EN 374-4 referenced): evaluation of material changes after chemical exposure (swelling, embrittlement, discoloration, etc.).
    • Permeation testing (EN 16523-1 referenced): laboratory determination of chemical breakthrough at the molecular level under continuous contact.
    • Glove types A, B and C: classification based on permeation performance against specified test chemicals (standard provides criteria for each type).
  • Marking and information: Mandatory marking conventions for Type A/B/C gloves and manufacturer information requirements to support safe selection and use.

Applications and users

EN ISO 374-1:2016 is intended for:

  • PPE manufacturers - to design, test and label chemically protective gloves and ensure compliance.
  • Test laboratories and certification bodies - to perform standardized permeation, penetration and degradation tests and to classify gloves as Type A/B/C.
  • Procurement specialists, safety managers and end-users - to select appropriate gloves for chemical handling in laboratories, chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, cleaning services and other industrial or healthcare settings.
  • Regulators and compliance officers - to reference harmonized requirements when assessing conformity to PPE directives.

Related standards

  • EN 374-2:2014 - Determination of resistance to penetration
  • EN 374-4:2013 - Determination of resistance to degradation by chemicals
  • EN 16523-1:2015 - Permeation by liquid chemicals (continuous contact)
  • EN 420:2009 - General requirements and test methods for protective gloves
  • ISO 374-5 - Performance requirements for micro-organism risks

EN ISO 374-1:2016 is essential when specifying chemical-resistant gloves and forms the baseline for labeling, testing and selecting PPE for chemical hazards.

The SIST EN ISO 374-1:2017 standard is a critical reference for the safety and efficacy of protective gloves against dangerous chemicals and micro-organisms. Its comprehensive scope clearly defines the requirements necessary for gloves designated to safeguard users from chemical risks, making it an essential guideline for manufacturers, employers, and safety professionals in various industries. One of the key strengths of this standard is its precise terminology, which facilitates clear communication regarding glove performance and specifications. This clarity is particularly beneficial in ensuring that users understand the protective capabilities of the gloves they employ, ultimately contributing to workplace safety. Additionally, by standardizing performance requirements, the document ensures consistency across different manufacturers, allowing for reliable comparisons among products. The relevance of SIST EN ISO 374-1:2017 cannot be understated. As industries globally face increasing exposure to hazardous chemicals, this standard serves as an invaluable tool for organizations seeking to comply with health and safety regulations. Its establishment of clear performance parameters aids in both risk assessment and compliance auditing processes. Moreover, the note within the standard encourages users to consider other risk factors-such as mechanical, thermal, and electrostatic hazards-by directing them to additional appropriate performance standards like EN 420. This holistic approach not only enhances user safety but also promotes diligence in selecting gloves that account for multiple risk factors, thereby ensuring comprehensive protection. Overall, SIST EN ISO 374-1:2017 stands out as a vital resource in the realm of personal protective equipment, particularly for those dealing with chemical hazards. Its robust framework guarantees that protective gloves meet necessary safety standards while aligning with best practices in occupational health and safety.
