This International Standard specifies test methods and minimum requirements for protective gloves to be worn<\/p>\n
during fire fighting and associated activities where there is a risk of heat and\/or flame.<\/p>\n
The purpose of this International Standard is to provide minimum performance requirements for protective gloves<\/p>\n
designed to protect against injury in fire fighting operations.<\/p>\n
This International Standard covers the general glove design, the minimum performance levels of the materials used<\/p>\n
and the methods of test for determining these performance levels. With the exception of flame resistance and<\/p>\n
ergonomic requirements, this International Standard establishes three levels of performance for all other<\/p>\n
performance requirements. Type 3 gloves provide a higher level of thermal insulation and physical protection, and<\/p>\n
require liquid penetration resistance (including synthetic blood) as compared to Type 2 gloves. Type 1 gloves are<\/p>\n
intended to provide minimum requirements for gloves in any fire fighting application, such as for wildland fire<\/p>\n
fighting. Annex E provides a comparison of the performance requirements for all three glove types.<\/p>\n
This International Standard does not cover special gloves for use in other high risk situations such as specialized<\/p>\n
fire fighting. It does not cover protection for the head, torso, arms, legs and feet or protection of the hands against<\/p>\n
other hazards, e.g. chemical, biological, radiation and electrical hazards, except for limited, accidental exposure to<\/p>\n
fireground chemicals and contaminated blood or body fluids (Type 3 gloves). These aspects may be dealt with in<\/p>\n
other standards.<\/p>\n
Selection of the appropriate system of clothing, including gloves, is dependant on carrying out an effective risk<\/p>\n
assessment which identifies the hazards to be faced, evaluates the likelihood of those hazards and provides the<\/p>\n
means of reducing or eliminating these hazards. Guidelines for conducting a risk assessment and some factors for<\/p>\n
consideration are included in annex D.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
