For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document. This document contains a bibliography. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.
EN 14328:2005 (E) 4 Introduction Powered knives are used when it is advantageous, to reduce the muscular effort required by the worker, or to increase their rate of working. They are commonly used in clothing factories, in slaughterhouses and in meat cutting plants. Band knives, reciprocating straight knives, rotating circular cutters and other designs are used.
Electricity or compressed air normally powers them. The tool driving the blade may be partly supported by the work pieces or by the workbench, or may be held in one hand. The edges of the blades may be quite smooth, coarsely honed, finely serrated or scalloped. They need to be distinguished from cutting blades with saw-tooth edges with teeth above 1 mm in height, which generally are unsafe to use with chain mail gloves, and armguards. Powered knives enable workers to cut rapidly through very resistant materials. Their hands are always in the vicinity of the blade in order to present the work piece to the blade, and it is not possible to guard the whole cutting edge. Thus there is significant potential for serious hand injuries during cutting operations. Most accidents occur during cutting but they are also recorded during blade changing, blade cleaning, guard adjustment, and moving the tool. At the present time it is not known that any practical glove material other than metal chain mail provides significant protection against powered knives. Even chain mail is rapidly cut through and injuries will only be avoided by strict adherence to safe working practices. Armguards made from sheet metal or rigid plastic material also provide some protection. Users of chain mail gloves note that the vibration and noise caused by contact of their glove with a powered knife blade often enables them to react in time to prevent an injury.

3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in EN 1082-1:1996 and EN 1082-2:2000, and the following apply. 3.1 powered knife hand held or fixed machine using a power source to drive a rotating, reciprocating or vibrating knife blade 3.2 knife blade sharp edged cutting tool with a either a smooth edge, or a serrated edge with points less than 1 mm high, or with a scalloped edge with points less than 3 mm high
EN 14328:2005 (E) 6 3.3 saw blade cutting tool with a serrated or toothed edge with points more than 1 mm high, or with a scalloped edge with points more than 3 mm high 3.4 serrated edge grinding pattern of a knife edge in which sharp points are separated by valleys, and in which the height of the points is greater than the distance between them 3.5 scalloped edge grinding pattern of a knife edge in which rounded or blunt points are separated by round bottomed valleys, and in which the height of the points is less than half the distance between the them 3.6 toothed edge grinding pattern of a knife edge in which sharp points are separated by sharp valleys, and in which the height of the points is less than the distance between them 4 Requirements 4.1 Innocuousness 4.1.1 General innocuousness requirements Gloves and armguards protecting against cuts by powered knives shall meet a general requirement that they are safe to use and fit for their purpose. They shall be designed and manufactured to provide protection when used according to the manufacturer’s instructions, without endangering the user or others. There shall not be hard or sharp edges, seams, buckles or other items on their surfaces that could harm the user or others during normal use. Examination shall be made according to 5.4. All materials of the gloves and armguards protecting against cuts by powered knives shall not adversely affect the health of the user. They shall be made of materials that have been shown to be chemical suitable. The materials shall not in the foreseeable conditions of normal use release or degrade to release substances generally known to be toxic, carcinogenic, mutagenic, allergenic or otherwise harmful. The manufacturer's claim that the product is innocuous shall be checked according to 5.2. NOTE Information on the classification and identification of harmful substances can be found e.g. in the Council Directives 67/548/EEC [1] (classification, packaging, labelling of dangerous substances) and 76/769/EEC [2] (restriction on use of dangerous substances) and amendments. Any of the following documents that are available should be examined: a) The manufacturer's technical file, b) Materials specifications from the material producers, and certificates of conformity, c) Safety data sheets relating to the materials, d) Certificates or reports relating to the suitability of the materials for use with food, in medical devices, or other relevant applications. e) Certificates or reports relating to toxicological, allergenic, carcinogenic or mutagenic investigations on the materials, f) Other documents submitted by the manufacturer The examination should determine whether the claim that the materials are suitable for use in the protective clothing or protective equipment is justified. Particular attention shall be paid to the presence of plasticisers, unreacted components, heavy metals or, impurities, and the chemical identity of pigments and dyes.
