Overview
FprEN ISO 374-1 (ISO/FDIS 374-1:2024) - Protective gloves against dangerous chemicals and micro‑organisms - Part 1: Terminology and performance requirements for chemical risks - specifies the vocabulary and core performance requirements for gloves designed to protect users from hazardous chemicals. The standard covers sampling, testing and minimum performance for penetration, permeation and degradation, plus marking and manufacturer information to support safe selection and use of chemical protective gloves.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope and terminology: Defines key terms such as dangerous chemicals, protective glove material, permeation, penetration and degradation to create consistent interpretation across manufacturers, test labs and users.
- Sampling rules: Specifies sample locations (e.g., palm and cuff for long gloves) and sampling procedures for permeation, penetration and degradation testing.
- Performance requirements:
- Penetration resistance - whole‑glove leak testing (fingers, palm, back and cuff) per ISO 374‑2 procedures.
- Permeation resistance - laboratory determination of breakthrough times using EN 16523‑1:2015+A1:2018 (and ISO 6529 as an alternative where specified).
- Degradation assessment - evaluation of physical/chemical changes after exposure; results must be reported for each chemical claimed in the marking.
- Classification and marking: Defines marking rules for gloves protecting against chemicals (Types A, B and C referenced), and information that must be supplied by the manufacturer to help users assess suitability.
- Safety and conformity links: Aligns with general glove requirements (ISO 21420) and supports regulatory compliance (e.g., Regulation (EU) 2016/425 where applicable).
Applications and users
This standard is essential for:
- PPE manufacturers designing and certifying chemical‑protective gloves
- Test laboratories performing permeation, penetration and degradation tests
- Safety managers / EHS professionals selecting appropriate gloves for chemical handling, laboratories, pharmaceutical production, industrial cleaning, agriculture and emergency response
- Regulators and procurers requiring documented glove performance for compliance and procurement
Practical benefits include clearer glove performance claims, consistent testing methods for permeation/breakthrough times, and better user guidance for chemical risk management.

FprEN ISO 374-1 is a crucial standard that delineates the terminology and performance requirements for protective gloves against dangerous chemicals and microorganisms. The scope of this document is comprehensive, as it specifies essential requirements for gloves designed to offer protection against hazardous chemicals, thereby serving as a vital resource for manufacturers, safety professionals, and end-users. One of the significant strengths of this standard lies in its clear and systematic approach to defining terms and performance criteria. This clarity ensures uniform understanding and application of safety measures across different sectors, enhancing the effectiveness of protective gloves. By establishing rigorous performance requirements, the standard also promotes higher safety levels for users in environments where exposure to chemical risks is a concern. The relevance of FprEN ISO 374-1 is underscored by its alignment with global safety objectives. As industries increasingly prioritize worker safety, this standard provides a benchmark for evaluating the reliability and quality of protective gloves in the face of chemical hazards. The inclusion of references to additional standards, such as ISO 21420 for protective gloves, further emphasizes its integrative approach, which is vital for comprehensive safety solutions that encompass not only chemical risks but also other potential hazards such as mechanical or thermal risks. Furthermore, the standard’s focus on performance requirements ensures that protective gloves meet the highest safety standards, thus fostering confidence among users that they are adequately shielded from dangerous chemicals and microorganisms. This quality assurance is paramount in industries like healthcare, manufacturing, and chemical processing, where the consequences of insufficient protection can be severe. Overall, FprEN ISO 374-1 stands as a pivotal document in the realm of personal protective equipment, ensuring that protective gloves are not only effective against chemical threats but are also manufactured to recognized international standards. Its position as a foundational guideline for protective glove compliance makes it indispensable for any organization committed to safeguarding its workforce against chemical risks.
