Abstract

Specifies the performance requirements and test methods for gloves which are intended to protect against convective or conductive cold down to temperatures of 50C. This could be linked to either the climatic conditions or occupational activity concerned. This Standard is technically equivalent to and reproduced from EN 511:1994.

Scope

This standard defines the requirements and test methods for gloves which protect against convective or conductive cold down to 50 C. This cold can be linked to the climatic conditions or an industrial activity. The specific values of the different performance levels are decided by the special requirements for each class of risk or the special areas of application. Product tests can only be carried out for performance levels and not for levels of protection.
