EN 60903:2003

Live working - Gloves of insulating material

Is applicable to: - insulating gloves and mitts which should normally be used in conjunction with leather protector gloves worn over the insulating gloves to provide mechanical protection; - insulating gloves and mitts usable without over-gloves for mechanical protection. Unless otherwise stated, the use of the term glove includes both gloves and mitts. The use of the term insulating gloves designates gloves providing electrical protection only. The use of the term composite gloves designates gloves providing electrical and mechanical protection.

Arbeiten unter Spannung - Handschuhe aus isolierendem Material

Travaux sous tension - Gants en matériau isolant

Applicable: - aux gants et moufles isolants, qu'il convient normalement d'utiliser avec un surgant de cuir qui donne la protection mécanique; - aux gants et moufles isolants utilisés sans surgants protecteurs. Sauf indication contraire, l'utilisation du seul terme "gant" comprend gant et moufle. Le terme "gants isolants" désigne les gants qui fournissent uniquement une protection électrique. Le terme "gants composites" désigne les gants fournissant une protection mécanique et électrique.

This European Standard was approved by CENELEC on 2003-07-01. CENELEC members are bound to
comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for giving this European
Standard the status of a national standard without any alteration.

Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references concerning such national standards may be obtained on
application to the Central Secretariat or to any CENELEC member.

This European Standard exists in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other
language made by translation under the responsibility of a CENELEC member into its own language and
notified to the Central Secretariat has the same status as the official versions.

CENELEC members are the national electrotechnical committees of Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic,
Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta,

Foreword
The text of document 78/462A/FDIS, future edition 2 of IEC 60903, prepared by IEC TC 78, Live
working, was submitted to the IEC-CENELEC parallel vote and was approved by CENELEC as
EN 60903 on 2003-07-01.
A draft amendment, prepared by the Technical Committee CENELEC TC 78, Equipment and tools for
live working, was submitted to the formal vote and was approved by CENELEC for inclusion into
EN 60903 on 2003-07-01.
This European Standard
– supersedes EN 60903:1992 + A11:1997, covering insulating gloves (and mitts) which would
normally be used in conjunction with leather protector gloves worn over the insulating gloves (and
mitts) to provide mechanical protection,
– supersedes EN 50237:1997, covering gloves (and mitts) which combine in one unique glove the
insulating properties of elastomer gloves and the mechanical properties of leather gloves. The
result of the combination is defined as a composite glove;
– includes requirements and testing for a “long composite glove" which extends protection to most of
the upper arm.
The following dates were fixed:

– latest date by which the EN has to be implemented

at national level by publication of an identical
(dop) 2004-07-01
national standard or by endorsement

– latest date by which the national standards conflicting
(dow) 2006-07-01
with the EN have to be withdrawn
This European Standard was prepared under a mandate given to CENELEC by the European
Commission and the European Free Trade Association and supports the essential requirements of
Directive 89/686/EEC.
NOTE Subclauses which are additional to those in IEC 60903 are prefixed "Z".
Annexes designated "normative" are part of the body of the standard.
Annexes designated "informative" are given for information only.
In this standard, annexes A, B, C and ZA are normative and annexes D, E, F, G, H and I are
informative.
Annex ZA has been added by CENELEC.
