Protective gloves against chemicals and micro-organisms - Part 2: Determination of resistance to penetration

This European Standard specifies a test method for the penetration resistance of gloves that protect against chemicals and/or micro-organisms.
At this time it is believed that gloves which resist penetration, when tested according to this Part of EN 374, will form an effective barrier to micro-biological hazards.

Schutzhandschuhe gegen Chemikalien und Mikroorganismen - Teil 2: Bestimmung des Widerstandes gegen Penetration

Diese Europäische Norm legt ein Prüfverfahren für die Bestimmung des Widerstandes gegen Penetration von Handschuhen fest, die gegen Chemikalien und/oder Mikroorganismen schützen.
Gegenwärtig besteht die Auffassung, dass Handschuhe, die bei der Prüfung nach dem vorliegenden Teil von EN 374 gegen Penetration beständig sind, einen wirksamen Schutz gegen mikrobiologische Gefährdungen bieten.

Gants de protection contre les produits chimiques et les micro-organismes - Partie 2: Détermination de la résistance à la pénétration

La présente Norme européenne spécifie une méthode d'essai pour la résistance à la pénétration des gants de protection contre les produits chimiques et /ou les micro-organismes.
Actuellement, on estime que les gants qui résistent à la pénétration, lorsqu'ils sont essayés selon cette partie de l'EN 374, constituent une barrière efficace contre les risques microbiologiques
