Welding Clothes
This standard specifies the test methods and the general requirements in term of performance for protective clothes designed for welding operators and for related technics presenting similar risks. The aim of this type of protective clothes is to protect the wearer against small splashes of molten metal, brief contact with flame, as well as against ultravoilet radiation. it is intended to be worn at ambient temperature, continuously over 8 hours.

 EN374-1
Low Chemical Resistant
The 'Low Chemical Resistant' or 'Waterproof' glove pictogram is to be used for those gloves that do not achieve a breakthrough time of at least 30 minutes against at least three chemicals from the defined list, but which comply with the Penetration test. The 'Micro-organism' pictogram is to be used when the glove conforms to at least a performance level 2 for the Penetration test. The chart below will help you select the right material suitable against different types of chemicals.
|
 EN374-2
Micro-Organism Hazards
The 'Micro-organism' pictogram is to be used when the glove conforms to at least a performance level 2 for the Penetration test. The chart below will help you select the right material suitable against different types of chemicals. |
 EN374-3
Chemical Hazards
The 'Chemical resistant' glove pictogram must be accompanied by a 3-digit code. This code refers to the code letters of 3 chemicals (from a list of 12 standard defined chemicals), for which a breakthrough time of at least 30 minutes has been obtained.

 Electroctatic Properties
The standard specifies the requirement and test methods for materials used in the manufacturing of electrostatic dissipative protective clothing (gloves) to avoid electrostatic discharges.
1. En1149 part 1 defines the test to measure surface resistivity / resistance (Ω) = resistance in ohm along the surface of the material, between two specified electrodes (resting on the test specimen) and a potential of 100±5V.
2. En1149 part 2 defines the test to measure vertical resistance (Ω) = resistance in ohm through a material, between two specified electrodes plaed on opposite surfaces of the test specimen and a potential of 100±5V.
3. En1149 Part 3 defines the test to measure the half decay time T50 (s)=the time it takes for a material to achieve a 50% decay of a charge induced on the material via an electrode.
4. En1149 Part 5 defines the criteria to claim antistaticity for gloves. Surface resistance < 2.5 x 10Ω (or surface resistivity < 5X1010Ω) or charge decay time T50 < 4s for vertical resistance (Ω) there are no set criteria defined.

 ISO 11611
Specifies two classes with spacific performance requirements,
Case 1 is protection against less hazardous welding techniques and situations, causing lower levels of spatter and radiant heat.
Case 2 is protection against more hazardous welding techniques and situations, causing higher levels of spatter and radiant heat. |

 ISO 13997
Contrary to the EN 388 for which is applied a constant force. The ISO 13997 enables to make vary and to determinate the force required to be applied to the blade to go through the sample on 20 mm long.
|
 The higher is the required force, the more the glove is cut resistant
So the norm ISO 13997 is increasingly recognized by users and manufacturers of protective gloves as the most reliable method to evaluate the highly cut resistant gloves.
