This Standard specifies a test method for the penetration resistance of gloves that protect against
dangerous chemicals and/or micro-organisms.

This document specifies the test method for the determination of the resistance of protective glove materials to Degradation by dangerous chemicals with continuous contact.

This part of ISO 11393 specifies the requirements and test methods for gloves that are intended to provide protection against cuts by a hand-held chain-saw, including requirements for identification, marking and information for the user. The method for measurement of protective coverage, the apparatus and the test method for assessing resistance to cutting, and the ergonomic assessment are specified. An informative
annex on risk analysis, glove ergonomics and glove selection is provided.

This document specifies a test method for the penetration resistance of gloves that protect against dangerous chemicals and/or micro-organisms.

This document specifies the test method for the determination of the resistance of protective glove materials to degradation by dangerous chemicals with continuous contact.
NOTE Annex A gives information on interlaboratory test results on this method.
It is preferable that other tests used in addition to the evaluation of chemical resistance such as permeation resistance and penetration, as the chemical test do not provide sufficient information on the physical property changes affecting a glo...view more
