Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents).

ISO/DIS 18889:2017(E)
Introduction
This document addresses the performance requirements for gloves worn by operators when mixing
and loading, applying pesticide, as well as handling pesticide for other tasks. Pesticide products are
known as plant protection products (PPP) in certain countries/regions of the world.
Since active ingredient of pesticide is typically a chemical with low vapour pressure and/or low solubility
in collection media, EN 16523-1:2015 cannot be used to measure permeation of active ingredient in
most pesticide products. Therefore, ISO/DIS 19918 is used to measure cumulative permeation of active
ingredient in pesticide products. Requirements other than the ISO/DIS 19918 test are similar to those
for other chemical resistant gloves.
This document defines performance requirements for two levels of gloves with specified resistance to
permeation by pesticide products. A brief description of the levels is given below:
Level G1 glove is suitable when the potential risk is relatively low. Level G1 gloves are not suitable for
use with concentrated pesticide formulations.
Level G2 gloves are suitable when the potential risk is higher. Level G2 gloves are suitable for use with
diluted as well as concentrated pesticides.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is often used for risk mitigation. See Annex A for information
on risk assessment and use of PPE for risk mitigation. Since protective gloves can be contaminated
in various ways (e.g., fine spray, contact with wet surface, contact with pesticide product sprayed
under pressure, contact between the protective gloves and a contaminated surface), in this standard
laboratory tests methods are used to rate materials rather than simulate field conditions.
Registration of pesticide products, such as insecticides, herbicides, and fungicides, involves the
assessment of operator exposure and risk, which determines the need for personal protective
equipment. Protection should correspond to the identified risks in order to avoid loss of comfort due
to overprotection. Actual field trials are used to determine the operator risk while spraying pesticides
under different scenarios. Laboratory data often are derived from accelerated tests to differentiate
among different levels of performance; therefore, laboratory data cannot be used for direct comparison
with field data for determining acceptable mitigation factors.
This document is intended for glove manufacturers, pesticide product manufacturers, trainers,
regulators, and other individuals or organizations that make decisions regarding PPE for protection
against pesticide products.
