Hand protection - Protective gloves against mechanical risks
1 Scope
This standard specifies the technical requirements, test methods and marking of protective gloves against mechanical risks.
This standard is applicable to protective gloves against one of the mechanical risks of abrasion, blade cut and puncture.
The test methods developed in this standard can also be applicable to arm protectors which are protective devices separate from the glove or the clothing.

3 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
3.1
protective gloves against mechanical risks
glove that provides protection against at least one of the following mechanical risks: abrasion, blade cut and puncture
Note: Tear resistance provides information on the mechanical resistance of the glove, but is not indicative of protection against a specific risk. Whilst a high value is normally considered as better.
3.2
glove providing a specific protection
glove that is designed to provide an area of improved protection for the whole hand or part of it
3.3
glove series
single glove style or glove type with the same palm material up to the wrist line where the only variants are size, length, left/right hand and colour
3.4
arm
part of the body between the wrist and the shoulder
