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.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.

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.

La norme SIST EN ISO 374-1:2017 propose des exigences claires et précises pour les gants de protection destinés à protéger l'utilisateur contre des produits chimiques dangereux. Ce document normatif définit des terminologies et des critères de performance spécifiques relatifs aux risques chimiques, ce qui est essentiel pour garantir une protection appropriée lorsqu'on manipule des substances potentiellement dangereuses. L'un des principaux atouts de cette norme est sa capacité à établir une base solide pour les fabricants et les utilisateurs de gants de protection. En définissant des exigences claires, elle permet de garantir que les gants répondent à des critères de sécurité minimaux, augmentant ainsi la confiance des utilisateurs dans leur équipement de protection individuelle. De plus, la norme fait référence à d'autres normes de protection, ce qui permet aux utilisateurs de comprendre facilement les contextes d'application et d'éventuelles exigences supplémentaires, notamment en matière de risques mécaniques ou thermiques. En ce qui concerne sa pertinence, la norme SIST EN ISO 374-1:2017 répond à un besoin croissant de sécurité dans le milieu professionnel exposé à des agents chimiques dangereux. La standardisation des gants de protection contribue non seulement à la sécurité des travailleurs, mais également à la conformité réglementaire dans divers secteurs, tels que la chimie, la pharmacie et les soins de santé. La mise en œuvre de ces exigences peut également aider à réduire les accidents et les maladies professionnelles liés à l'exposition à des produits chimiques. En résumé, la norme SIST EN ISO 374-1:2017 constitue un cadre essentiel pour la conception et l'évaluation des gant de protection face aux risques chimiques, alliant rigueur, clarté et pertinence pour le bien-être des travailleurs.
