EN 374-1 Gloves Providing Protection Against Chemicals and Microorganisms

Penetration is the passage of a chemical and/or micro-organism at a non-molecular level through porous materials, seams, pores or other defective parts.

Rubber and plastic films on gloves may not always be a barrier to liquids. Sometimes they can also act as a sponge, absorbing liquids and holding the liquid so that it does not come into contact with the skin. For this reason, it is necessary to calculate the residence times or the time it takes for the dangerous liquid to come into contact with the skin.

The minimum liquid-proof part of the glove must be at least equal to the minimum length of the gloves specified in EN 420.

When performing an air or water leak test, the glove must be leak proof and tested and inspected to an Acceptable Quality Level (AQL).
