AUSTRALIAN STANDARDS
AUSTRALIAN AND NEW ZEALAND STANDARDS FOR GLOVES
The Ninja ® gloves listed in this catalogue comply with the requirements where applicable, for Occupational Protective Gloves including of AS/NZS 2161.3:2020 Protection against mechanical risks”, AS/NZS 2161.2:2020 - general requirements and test methods and AS/NZS 2161.4:1999 - protection against thermal risks (heat and fire). The Ninja gloves which include the BSI Certified Product Mark, is the users assurance that the factories producing the gloves have been independently audited and certified for compliance to these Standards. The factories that supply the Ninja ® product have been audited and certified. The product has also been tested and registered for certified compliance.

GENERAL PROTECTION EN420: 2020 AS/NZS 2161.2: 2020
THERMAL (HEAT AND FIRE) EN407: 2020 AS/NZS 2161.4: 1999
This Standard applies to ALL safety gloves and requires, amongst other things, the packaging to include information about glove size, dexterity and design category.
This pictogram is always accompanied by a six-digit code. Each digit, on a scale of 0 to 4 represents the glove’s protection level against specific hazards in this order: flammability, contact heat, convective heat, radiant heat, small splashes of molten metal, and large quantities of molten metal. COLD (DOWN TO - 50°C) EN511: 2006 AS/NZS Standard 2161.5: 1998 Here, the pictogram will be shown alongside three digits which represent performance levels in the following order: convective cold, contact cold (these are both measured on a scale of 0 to 4) and, lastly, penetration by water, measured as either 0 or 1. RADIOACTIVE CONTAMINATION EN421: 2010 AS/NZS 2161.8: 2002 Gloves for protection against radioactive contamination must be liquid proof and depending on their intended use, it will also undergo additional testing for penetration, air pressure leaking and ozone cracking. All gloves for protection against iodising radiation needs to contain a certain amount of lead or other metal, the quantity of which will be indicated on the label. The EN references above are expanded on page 42 inside this catalogue.

EN388:2016
Used in European markets, this test has been making its way globally as a widely accepted standard for measuring protective properties of industrial PPE. There is a combination of six digits and letters displayed alongside the pictogram. Each of these gives the performance level of: Impact Protection, TDM Cut Test, Puncture Resistance, Tear Resistance, Coup Cut Test and Abrasion Resistance. CHEMICAL AND MICRO-ORGANISM EN374: 2016/TYPE A AS/NZS 2161.10: 2020 The pictogram is accompanied by at least six digits each of which corresponds to a certain classified chemical. For example, ‘A’ is for methanol and ‘B’ is for acetone. For chemical risk gloves, performance levels are measured on a scale of 1 to 6 to indicate how quickly the hazardous chemical may come into contact with the skin through the glove, known as breakthrough time. Performance level 1, for example, means the liquid can permeate the glove in 10 minutes, and level 6, means the chemical will not come into contact with the skin for at least 480 minutes.
