(Main)Protective gloves - General requirements and test methods (ISO 21420:2020)
Protective gloves - General requirements and test methods (ISO 21420:2020)
This standard defines the general requirements and relevant test procedures for glove design and construction, resistance of glove materials to water penetration, innocuousness, comfort and efficiency, marking and information supplied by the manufacturer applicable to all protective gloves.
NOTE It can also be applicable to arm protectors and gloves permanently incorporated in containment enclosures.
This European Standard does not address the protective properties of gloves and therefore should not be used alone but only in combination with the appropriate specific European Standard(s).
A non exhaustive list of these standards is given in the Bibliography.
Schutzhandschuhe - Allgemeine Anforderungen und Prüfverfahren (ISO 21420:2020)
Dieses Dokument legt die für alle Schutzhandschuhe anwendbaren allgemeinen Anforderungen und die relevanten Prüfverfahren zu Gestaltungsgrundsätzen, Handschuhkonfektionierung, Unschädlichkeit, Komfort und Leistungsvermögen sowie für die vom Hersteller vorgenommene Kennzeichnung und mitgelieferte Informationen fest.
Es kann auch für Armschutz und Handschuhe gelten, die dauerhaft in geschlossenen Behältnissen integriert sind.
Von diesem Dokument werden z. B. Handschuhe und Handschützer wie Fäustlinge, Topflappen und Armschützer erfasst.
Dieses Dokument befasst sich nicht mit den schützenden Eigenschaften von Handschuhen und wird daher nie alleine, sondern nur in Kombination mit den zutreffenden spezifischen Normen angewendet. Eine nicht abschließende Liste dieser Normen enthalten die Literaturhinweise.
Gants de protection - Exigences générales et méthodes d’essai (ISO 21420:2020)
Le présent document définit les exigences générales et les méthodes d'essai concernant la conception et la construction du gant, l'innocuité, le confort et l'efficacité, ainsi que le marquage et les informations fournies par le fabricant applicables à tous les gants de protection.
Le présent document peut aussi s'appliquer aux protecteurs du bras et aux gants incorporés de manière permanente à des enceintes fermées.
Le présent document couvre les gants et protecteurs de la main tels que les mitaines, maniques et protections du bras.
Le présent document ne concerne pas les propriétés de protection des gants et n'est donc pas utilisé seul mais seulement en association avec la ou les normes spécifiques appropriées. Une liste non exhaustive de ces normes est donnée dans la Bibliographie.
Varovalne rokavice - Splošne zahteve in preskusne metode (ISO 21420:2020)
Ta standard določa splošne zahteve in ustrezne preskusne postopke za zasnovo in izdelavo rokavic, odpornost materialov rokavic proti vdoru vode, neškodljivost, udobje in učinkovitost, označevanje ter informacije, ki jih zagotovi proizvajalec in veljajo za vse varovalne rokavice.
OPOMBA: Uporabiti ga je mogoče tudi za ščitnike za roke in rokavice, ki so trajno pritrjene na varnostna ohišja.
Ta evropski standard ne obravnava zaščitnih lastnosti rokavic, zato naj se ne uporablja samostojno, temveč samo v kombinaciji z ustreznimi posebnimi evropskimi standardi.
Nepopoln seznam teh standardov je naveden v razdelku Literatura.
