Keron Chemex Gloves Instruction Manual
Category III – Chemical and biological risks
PPE is subject to the conformity assessment procedure Module D under surveillance of the notified body:
SGS Fimko Oy. P.O. Box 30 (Särkiniementie 3), 00211 HELSINKI,
Finland (Notified Body No. 0598)
UK: SGS United Kingdom Limited Rossmore Business Park Ellesmere Port Cheshire
CH65
3EN (Approved Body No. 0120)
EU type examination carried out by:
SATRA Technology Europe Limited, Bracetown Business Park, Clonee,
D15 YN2P, Ireland (Notified Body No. 2777)
Instructions for use
The glove types named here meet with the requirements of regulation (EU) 2016/425 as brought into UK law and amended, EN ISO 374-1:2016+A1:2018, EN 388:2016+A1:2018 and EN ISO 21420:2020. As the gloves are adjusted to special purposes, the lengths may deviate from the requirements of EN 420:2003+A1:2009.
Results mechanical tests according EN388:2016 + A1:2018:
- Abrasion resistance: 4 (min 0 / max 4)
- Blade cut resistance (Coupe-Test): 0 (min 0 / max 5)
- Tear resistance: 1 (min 0 / max 4)
- Puncture resistance: 1 (min 0 / max 4)
- Blade cut resistance (TDM): X (min A / max F)
The sign X, instead of a number, means that the glove is not designed for the use covered by the corresponding test.
Results chemical tests according EN ISO 374-1:2016 + A1:2018
Dexterity: Level 5
Warning / risk assessment: a) Gloves to protect against mechanical action
whose effects are superficial, substances and mixtures which are hazardous to
health, and harmful biological agents. Important: The gloves are recommended
for use in situations where only low chemical protection is identified as
needed.
b) While selecting an equipment, user should perform risk analysis based on
the intended use and determine the suitability based on product’s test
standards and protection levels obtained. c) Information provide does not
reflect the actual duration of protection in the workplace due to other
factors influencing the performance, such as temperature, abrasion, and
degradation, and the differentiation between mixtures and pure chemicals. d)
Information regarding protection refers to the working surface, i.e. ‘the
palm’ of the glove, which has been submitted to testing. e) Ensure gloves are
in good condition (no holes, tears, porous spots) before use. If any damage is
found avoid usage. f) The chemical resistance has been assessed under
laboratory conditions from samples taken from the palm only (except in cases
where the glove is equal to or over 400 mm – where the cuff is tested also)
and relates only to the chemical tested. It can be different if
the chemical is used in a mixture. g) It is recommended to check that the
gloves are suitable for the intended use because the conditions at the
workplace may differ from the type test depending on temperature, abrasion and
degradation. h) When used, protective gloves may provide less resistance to
the dangerous chemical due to changes in physical properties. Movements,
snagging, rubbing, degradation caused by the chemical contact etc. may reduce
the actual use time significantly. For corrosive chemicals, degradation can be
the most important factor to consider in selection of chemical resistant
gloves. i) The maximum wear time depends on the activity being carried out and
the person. j) EN ISO 374-4:2019 Degradation levels indicate the change in
puncture resistance of the gloves after exposure to the challenge chemical. k)
The penetration resistance has been assessed under laboratory conditions and
relates only to the tested specimen. l) This product contains Nitrile Latex
and compounding chemicals which may cause allergic reaction in some
individuals. m) The glove offers no protection against perforation with sharp
objects, e.g. injection needles. n) Gloves not to be worn when there is a risk
of entanglement by moving parts of machines. o) Remove the glove immediately
if contaminated by a concentrate spill
Donning: Insert the hand into the glove carefully without damaging the
glove.
Doffing:
- Grasp the outside of the glove from the wrist area
- Peel the glove away from the hand, hold it in the opposite gloved hand
- Slide an un-gloved finger under the wrist of the remaining glove, being careful not to touch the contaminated surface of the glove
- Peel the remaining glove out and clean the re-usable gloves before use them again. Additional information will be supplied upon request. The gloves can be used in chemical industry, petrochemical industry, auto motive industry, aircraft industry and facility maintenance.
Instructions for Use: Wipe clean with warm water. Remove the glove immediately if contaminated by a concentrate spill.
Storage: Store away from direct sunlight. Storage procedures are the main factor in determining glove shelf life. Gloves should be kept in their packaging store away from direct sunlight and stored at temperatures between 5 °C – 35 °C. Storage under these conditions should provide shelf life of three years..
