EN ISO 374-1: 2016 PROTECTIVE GLOVES AGAINST DANGEROUS CHEMICALS AND MICRO-ORGANISMS
EN 388
The EN ISO 374-1:2016 standard specifies the requirements for gloves designed to protect against dangerous chemicals and micro-organisms. This includes protection through resistance to degradation, permeation, and penetration by chemicals. Gloves must meet key performance criteria, such as resistance to chemical exposure and maintaining material integrity. Chemicals can penetrate through defects in the glove material, such as holes. Degradation occurs when the glove material is negatively impacted by chemical contact, and the degradation percentage must be included in the user instructions. Permeation refers to chemicals breaking through the glove material at a molecular level, and gloves are tested to ensure they meet minimum breakthrough times. Type A gloves must withstand a breakthrough time of at least 30 minutes against 6 or more test chemicals. Type B gloves must meet the same time requirement for at least 3 test chemicals, and Type C gloves must withstand 10 minutes for at least 1 test chemical.

The EN 388 standard specifies requirements, test methods, marking and information to be supplied for protective gloves against the mechanical risks of abrasion, blade cut, tear, puncture and, if applicable, impact. The impact protection has to fully encompass the back of hand, including the fingers. This standard is intended to be used in conjunction with EN ISO 21420. All MILWAUKEE ® hand protection solutions are certified according to both EN ISO 21420 and EN 388 standards, the rating given varies for each type of gloves. EN ISO 21420 is the European general requirement and test method standard for protective gloves.
