Requirements and test methods for gloves used for manual welding of metals, for cutting and related techniques. Welder gloves are ranked in two types: B when great dexterity is required (e.g.: TIG welding), and A for other welding processes.
This standard provides requirements for protective gloves that are worn in an environment producing ionising radiation or in an environment containing radioactive substances.
A glove protecting against radioactive contamination must be waterproof according to EN374-2.
A glove that protects against ionising radiation must, in addition to being waterproof according to EN374-2, contain a certain amount of heavy metal such as lead.
