Disposable gloves are available in various standards and protection classes that define their specific application areas and protective properties. Here are some tips and information on the standards and protection classes of disposable gloves:
Standards for Disposable Gloves:
EN Standards (European Standards):
- EN 455-1, EN 455-2, EN 455-3, EN 455-4: These standards specify requirements and test methods for medical gloves, including tests for physical properties, penetration resistance, and biological properties.
- EN 374-1, EN 374-2, EN 374-3: These standards are specific to protective gloves against chemicals and microorganisms. They include test methods for leak tightness, penetration, and resistance to chemicals.
- EN 420: General requirements for protective gloves, including requirements for sizes, design, and performance.
- EN 388: Protective gloves against mechanical risks, such as cut, puncture, abrasion, and tear resistance.
ASTM Standards (American Society for Testing and Materials):
- ASTM D3578: Standard Test Method for Rubber Evaluation of Medical Gloves.
- ASTM D6319: Standard Specification for Nitrile Examination Gloves for Medical Application.
- ASTM F1671: Standard Test Method for Resistance of Materials Used in Protective Clothing to Penetration by Blood-Borne Pathogens Using Phi-X174 Bacteriophage Penetration as a Test System.
ISO Standards (International Organization for Standardization):
- ISO 13485: Medical devices - Quality management systems - Requirements for regulatory purposes.
- ISO 11193: Single-use medical gloves - Requirements and testing for physical properties.
- ISO 374-1, ISO 374-2, ISO 374-5: Protective gloves against chemicals and microorganisms - Requirements and test methods.
Protection Classes of Disposable Gloves:
Disposable gloves can be classified into various categories based on their protective properties and application areas:
Medical Disposable Gloves: These gloves are used in medical facilities and must comply with health requirements and safety standards, especially the requirements of the EN 455 series.
Chemical Resistant Disposable Gloves: These gloves are specially designed to protect the wearer from chemical hazards. They must comply with EN 374 standards and have high resistance to various chemicals.
Protection against Biological Hazards (Viruses and Bacteria): Gloves designed to protect against biological hazards such as viruses or bacteria. They must comply with the requirements of EN 374-5 or ASTM F1671.
Mechanical Protective Gloves: These gloves provide protection against mechanical risks such as cut, puncture, abrasion, and tear resistance according to EN 388.
Tips for Selecting Disposable Gloves:
Application Requirements: Choose gloves according to the specific requirements of your application (medical, chemical resistant, mechanical protection, etc.).
Material: Consider the material of the gloves (latex, nitrile, vinyl) depending on allergic reactions, comfort, and protection requirements.
Standards and Certifications: Ensure that the gloves comply with the relevant standards required for your specific application area.
Fit and Size: Choose gloves that fit well and provide sufficient freedom of movement to increase work efficiency and minimize fatigue.
Quality and Manufacturer: Opt for gloves from trusted manufacturers or brands that can ensure quality and reliability.
By considering these tips and information, you can ensure that the disposable gloves meet the required protection standards and provide a safe and effective working environment in your laboratory.
