Impact Cut Hazards IMPACT CUT RESISTANCE (Chainmesh gloves etc.) Electrostatic Hazards ANTI-STATIC Cold Hazards a: Resistance to convective cold 0-3 b: Resistance to contact cold 0-3 c: Permeability of water 0-3 Thermal Hazards a: Resistance to flammability 0-4 b: Resistance to contact heat 0-5 c: Resistance to convective heat 0-4 d: Resistance to radiant heat 0-4 e: Resistance to small splashes of molten metal 0-4 f: Resistance to large splashes of molten metal 0-4 Each test is optional, an X appears where no test was carried out. Radiation Hazards Protection against ionising radiation and radioactive contamination Chemical & Micro-Organism Hazards Measures whether the glove leaks Measures whether chemicals will migrate through porous material Washable Unless stated otherwise washable in temperatures up to 40ºC. Properties of some gloves may vary after washing

Mechanical Hazards This standard specifies requirements for: a: ABRASION RESISTANCE 0-4 The ability of the material to withstand repeated mechanical abrasion b: CUT RESISTANCE 0-5 How well the glove material can withstand cuts c: TEAR RESISTANCE 0-4 What force is required to propagate a pre-cut slit in the material d: PUNCTURE RESISTANCE 0-4 What force is required to cause a sharp edged puncture probe to penetrate through the gloves palm
