Overview
EN 14328:2005/FprA1 is a CEN draft amendment to the European standard for protective clothing - gloves and armguards protecting against cuts by powered knives. The amendment (prA1, July 2009) updates the standard’s ergonomic requirements (clause 4.6). It is issued by CEN/TC 162 and, if approved, will modify EN 14328:2005. The document supports essential requirements of relevant EC Directives (see informative Annex ZA).
Key Topics and Requirements
- Scope: Requirements and test methods for gloves and armguards designed to reduce or prevent cut injuries caused by powered/industrial knives.
- Ergonomic requirements (clause 4.6): The amendment adds a specific sentence addressing test applicability for certain protective systems.
- Test-method clarification: The amendment states that the grab-and-pull test specified in EN 1082-2 Annex A, A6 shall not be used for chain metal (chain mail) gloves and arm protectors as defined in EN 1082-1 (March 1997).
- Standards governance: The draft is provided in English, French and German and was prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 162. It is distributed for enquiry and comment and may be incorporated into national standards without alteration when adopted.
Applications and Who Uses This Standard
This standard is relevant for organizations and professionals involved in worker hand/arm protection where powered cutting tools are used:
- PPE manufacturers designing cut-resistant gloves and armguards
- Product testing laboratories performing conformity and performance tests
- Safety managers and procurement teams selecting protective clothing for workplaces with powered knives
- Regulators and conformity assessment bodies assessing compliance with PPE directives
- Workplaces such as industrial cutting operations, food processing and other sectors using powered knives (for risk assessment and specifying suitable PPE)
Practical Value
- Improves clarity on which test methods are appropriate for chain metal protective items, avoiding misapplication of the grab-and-pull test.
- Helps manufacturers and test labs ensure correct test selection, reducing the risk of invalid or misleading test results.
- Supports harmonized European requirements for cut-protection PPE, aiding compliance and comparability across markets.
