Protective gloves for firefighters

Protective gloves for firefighters

This document defines minimum performance requirements and test methods for firefighters' protective gloves.
This document applies only to firefighters' protective gloves which protect the hands during normal firefighting, including structural fire, wildland 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 service are excluded from the scope of this document.

Feuerwehrschutzhandschuhe

Dieses Dokument legt auf die Leistung bezogene Mindestanforderungen und Prüfverfahren für Feuerwehrschutzhandschuhe fest.
Dieses Dokument gilt nur für Feuerwehrschutzhandschuhe, die die Hände bei normalen Feuerbekämpfungstätigkeiten einschließlich Gebäudebränden, Waldbränden und Rettung schützen.
Diese Feuerwehrschutzhandschuhe sind nicht für ein beabsichtigtes Arbeiten mit flüssigen Chemikalien vorgesehen, sie bieten jedoch einen gewissen Schutz bei versehentlichem Kontakt mit Chemikalien.
Feuerwehrschutzhandschuhe für besondere Feuerbekämpfungstätigkeiten sind nicht im Anwendungsbereich dieses Dokumentes erfasst.

Gants de protection pour sapeurs-pompiers

Le présent document définit des exigences minimales de performance et des méthodes d'essai relatives aux gants de protection pour sapeurs-pompiers.
Le présent document s'applique uniquement aux gants de protection pour sapeurs-pompiers qui protègent les mains lors de la lutte contre l'incendie en conditions normales, y compris en cas de feux de structure ou de feux de forêts ou en cas de sauvetage.
Ces gants ne sont pas destinés à la manipulation volontaire de produits chimiques liquides, mais procurent un certain degré de protection contre un contact accidentel avec des produits chimiques.
Les gants de protection destinés à des opérations spéciales réalisées dans le cadre de la lutte contre l’incendie sont exclus du domaine d'application du présent document.

Hand protection - Guidance for selection and use (ISO/TR 8546:2022)
SIST-TP CEN ISO/TR 8546:2022

This document gives information on the selection and use of personal protective equipment for the hand protection.
The application of this document requires that the risk assessment has been carried out and the hazards have been minimized accordingly through substitution and technical and organizational measures.
On this basis, this document contains information that supports employers in counteracting certain risks to hands that could not be sufficiently reduced by substitution and technical and organizational measures by selecting and using suitable protective gloves.
This document provides explanations on selection, usage and training applicable to protective gloves. The explanations concerning specific hazards are provided in annexes.
This guidance considers the following risks:
    mechanical, (see Annex A);
    chemical, (see Annex B);-    biological, (see Annex C);    thermal, (see Annex D and E);
    electrostatic discharge (see Annex F);
    ionizing radiation and radioactive contamination (see Annex G).
This guidance does not cover other risks, because pertinent international or national publications are available or because the relevant information was not available in ISO/TC 94/SC 13/WG 8. Risks not covered include e.g.:
    cuts and stabs by hand knives;
    use of chain saws (covered by ISO 11393-4:2018, Annex A);
    animal bites;
    needlesticks;
    electrocution;
    optical radiation;
    vibrations;
    electric fault arcs;
    firefighting (covered by ISO/TR 21808);
    sport.

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 glove during exposure to a chemical. It is necessary that the outside surface of the glove be exposed to the chemical.

Protective clothing - Protection against chemicals - Measurement of cumulative permeation of chemicals with low vapour pressure through materials (ISO 19918:2017)
SIST EN ISO 19918:2018

ISO 19918 describes laboratory test methods to determine the resistance of materials, closures, and seams used in personal protective equipment (PPE) to permeation by solid or liquid chemicals with low vapour pressure (less than 133,322 Pa at 25 °C) and/or insolubility in water or other liquids commonly used as collection media. These chemicals that are often part of pesticide formulations and other mixtures cannot be measured using other standards for measuring permeation. This test method is suitable for field strength and concentrated pesticide formulations as well as other mixtures in which the active ingredient is a chemical with low vapour pressure and/or low solubility in commonly used liquid and gaseous collection media.
This test method is not intended to be used in place of standards such as ISO 6529, EN 16523-1 and ASTM F739, which measure permeation of chemicals that are either volatile or soluble in water or other liquids that do not interact with the material being tested. ISO 19918 is not suitable for measurement of volatile chemicals that may evaporate before the chemical analysis is complete.
The degree of contamination depends on numerous factors, such as type of exposure, application technique, and chemical formulation. As the level of exposure can vary considerably, this method is designed to rate relative performance of PPE materials for different durations.
This method is designed to measure cumulative permeation. Breakthrough time cannot be measured by this method. This test method does not measure resistance to penetration or degradation.
The test method standard may be used for the evaluation of PPE materials that are new or those for which the product standard requires treatment, such as laundering or simulated abrasion. Details of the treatment shall be reported.
