Understanding EN374: A Key Standard for Chemical Protection Gloves

When it comes to safety, protecting your hands from harmful chemicals is paramount, especially in industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, and agriculture. One of the key standards to ensure gloves provide the necessary protection is the EN374 certification. This European standard defines the requirements for gloves that are resistant to chemicals and microorganisms, ensuring users can rely on them for safety in various environments.

What is EN374?

EN374 is the European standard that specifies the requirements for gloves that protect against chemical hazards. It is divided into three main categories:

  1. EN374-1 – General Requirements for Performance: This part specifies the performance requirements of gloves for protection against chemicals and microorganisms. Gloves must be tested for their resistance to a range of chemicals, and manufacturers must provide a list of the chemicals against which the glove provides protection.
  2. EN374-2 – Resistance to Penetration: This section tests gloves for their ability to prevent harmful substances from penetrating the material. It ensures that gloves maintain their integrity, even when subjected to prolonged exposure to hazardous chemicals.
  3. EN374-3 – Resistance to Permeation: This part measures how long it takes for a chemical to pass through the glove material at a specific concentration. Gloves are rated based on their permeation time and the type of chemical they resist.

Why EN374 Certification Matters

Gloves that meet the EN374 standard provide reassurance to workers in environments that involve chemical handling, such as in laboratories, industrial plants, and even during household tasks like cleaning with harsh chemicals. The certification guarantees that the gloves offer a certain level of protection, reducing the risk of exposure to dangerous substances.
