However, it is not possible to relate the performance levels achieved in laboratory tes
22、ting to protection levels under actual use conditions because the thermal hazards in wet and dry conditions may be very different. 1 Scope This standard defines minimum performance requirements and test methods for firefighters protective gloves. This standard applies only to firefighters protective
23、 gloves which protect the hands during normal firefighting, including search and rescue. These gloves are not intended for deliberate handling of liquid chemicals, but provide some protection against accidental contact with chemicals. Protective gloves for special operations within firefighting serv
24、ice are excluded from the scope of this standard. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates, by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For d
25、ated references, subsequent amendments or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision.

32、ined in 3.2. When parts of the palm and/or parts of the back of the glove are made from dissimilar materials, these dissimilar materials shall be tested separately. In those circumstances when the sample size is significantly larger than the particular part of the glove being tested, then the manufa
33、cturer shall be requested to supply samples of the appropriate materials. After each thermal test (3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10), the innermost lining material shall be visually inspected. The glove is deemed to have failed the test if there is evidence of melting. 3.2 Sizes When measured according to 6.2 of
34、 EN 420:1994, the sizes shall correspond with those requirements established in the applicable clause of EN 420, but the minimum length shall be in accordance with table 1.

36、be tested according to the appropriate clause of EN 388, on the palm of the glove. When tested accordingly, it shall be in accordance with at least performance level 3 (2 000 cycles). 3.4 Cut resistance The glove shall be tested according to the appropriate clause of EN 388, both on the palm and the
37、 back of the glove. When tested accordingly, it shall be in accordance with at least performance level 2 (index 2.5). 3.5 Tear resistance The glove shall be tested according to the appropriate clause of EN 388, on the palm of the glove. When tested accordingly, it shall be in accordance with at leas
38、t performance level 3 (50 N). 3.6 Puncture resistance The glove shall be tested according to the appropriate clause of EN 388, on the palm of the glove. When tested accordingly, it shall be in accordance with at least performance level 3 (100 N). Licensed Copy: sheffieldun sheffieldun, na, Thu Nov 0

When tested accordingly, it shall be in accordance with performance level 4 (after flame time 13) of EN 407:1994. The result shall be
40、 given as the arithmetic mean of the three individual values and rounded to the nearest whole second. 3.9 Radiant heat resistance The material for firefighters protective gloves shall be tested according to EN ISO 6942, on the back of the glove, with a heat flux density of 40 kW/m. A sample 70 mm ?
41、170 mm is taken from each glove back, from one pair of gloves. The arithmetic mean of the two t24 values is calculated and stated to the nearest whole second. When tested accordingly, the material shall have a time t24 of at least 18 s. 3.10 Contact heat resistance The material for firefighters prot
42、ective gloves shall be tested according to EN 702, on the palm of the glove, with a contact temperature of 250C. A sample with a diameter of 80 mm is taken from each palm area of three gloves. When tested accordingly, each sample shall have a threshold time tt of at least 10 s. The gloves shall be t
43、ested both after wet conditioning (according to the relevant clause on pretreatments of ISO 15383) and dry conditioning (according to clause 4). For each conditioning, the arithmetic mean of the three individual values shall be calculated and rounded to the nearest whole second. The lowest mean shal
44、l be given as the test result. 3.11 Heat resistance of the lining material The lining material closest to the skin, when tested according to ISO 17493 at a minimum temperature of 180C, shall not melt, drip or ignite. 3.12 Heat shrinkage The glove, when tested according to ISO 17493 at 180C shall not
45、 shrink more than 5 %. 3.13 Dexterity The glove shall be tested according to the dexterity test described in EN 420. When tested accordingly, the glove shall be in accordance with at least performance level 1 (smallest diameter of pin: 11 mm). 3.14 Seam breaking strength When tested according to EN
46、ISO 13935-2, the seam breaking force shall be at least 350 N. 3.15 Time for the removal of gloves Three pairs of gloves shall be donned and then removed by a test subject, after conditioning according to clause 4. The time for removal of each pair shall be recorded. The mean value shall be calculate
47、d and rounded to the nearest whole second.

48、ithout applying a pressure of 3.5 kPa). The mean value of time for removal of a pair of gloves, whether they are dry or wet, shall not be greater than 3 s. 3.16 Resistance of glove material to water penetration (optional) If required for the application, material of the glove shall be tested for res
49、istance to water penetration in accordance with the appropriate test method as follows: ? For leather: 5.12 of EN 344:1992 and EN 344:1992/A1:1997.
