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, ISO 18889:2019 and EN ISO 21420:2020. As the gloves are adjusted to special purposes, the lengths may deviate from the requirements of EN ISO 21420:2020.
Results mechanical tests according EN388:2016 + A1:2018 :
- Abrasion resistance: 4 (min 0 / max 4)
- Blade cut resistance (Coupe-Test): 1 (min 0 / max 5)
- Tear resistance: 0 (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. 0 indicates that the glove falls below the minimum performance for the given individual hazard.

Warning / risk assessment:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Information regarding protection refers to the working surface, i.e. ‘the palm’ of the glove, which has been submitted to testing.
- Ensure gloves are in good condition (no holes, tears, porous spots) before use. If any damage is found avoid usage.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- The maximum wear time depends on the activity being carried out and the person.
- EN374-4:2019 Degradation levels indicate the change in puncture resistance of the gloves after exposure to the challenge chemical.
- The penetration resistance has been assessed under laboratory conditions and relates only to the tested specimen.
- This product contains Nitrile Latex and compounding chemicals which may cause allergic reaction in some individuals.
- The glove offers no protection against perforation with sharp objects, e.g. injection needles.
- Gloves not to be worn when there is a risk of entanglement by moving parts of machines.
- Remove the glove immediately if contaminated by a concentrate spill
- G2 gloves are suitable when the potential risk is higher. These gloves are suitable for use with diluted as well as concentrated pesticides. G2 gloves also meet the minimum mechanical resistance requirements and therefore suitable for activities that require gloves with minimum mechanical strength.
- The duration of the test is not based on actual use time since the performance test is an accelerated test in which the surface of the specimen is in constant contact with the test chemical. Although the duration of the exposure may be for a longer period during field applications with dilute formulation, the entire surface is not constant contact with the test chemical.
- For gloves with a fabric lining please include a warning, that the absorbent lining material has the potential of absorbing the pesticide.
- If applicable, conditions or factors that significantly reduce the protective qualities of the item shall be included. For G1 and G2 gloves, the pesticide shall not have the possibility to penetrate between the garment sleeve and the glove.
- For G1 and G2 gloves, if the cuff is not claimed to offer the same level of chemical protection as the palm area, it shall be mentioned in the user notice.
- 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
