[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]In a short period of time the personal protection sector has seen a series of changes that mark a turning point in the legislation regulating hand and arm protection.<\/p>\n

Disposable gloves<\/strong>, industrial gloves<\/strong>, semi-industrial gloves<\/strong> and household gloves<\/strong> are all covered by these new regulatory changes.<\/p>\n

Gloves are particularly affected by these two new European Union regulations.<\/p>\n

As of 21 April 2018, Directive 89\/686\/EEC of the Council will be repealed by the new Regulation (EU) 2016\/425 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 2016, on personal protective equipment.<\/p>\n

Moreover, on 1st June 2017, ISO 374-1:2016 Protective gloves against dangerous chemicals and microorganisms will take effect, replacing standard EN 374-1:2004.<\/p>\n

This new ISO incorporates a series of important changes, the most relevant of which are the following:<\/p>\n

The most significant change regarding ISO 374-1:2016 is the separation between protection against chemicals and protection against microorganisms. The latter will be covered by EN 374-5: 2016. At the same time, changes have been introduced to establish a classification. As a consequence of these modifications, the pictograms are also being changed.<\/p>\n

New classification of gloves<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

New table of chemicals, now including 18 (formerly 12)<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

These changes will be expressed as follows:[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”1887″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”1889″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”1891″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]So one of the most significant changes is that the EN374-1 low-protection pictogram has been eliminated.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The ISO 374-5 standard includes the possibility of incorporating protection against viruses, which has been added.<\/p>\n

Changes go way beyond this brief explanation. For a proper understanding of these changes you can contact the association of personal protection equipment companies ASEPAL<\/a> or keep up-to-date via INSHT<\/a> (Instituto Nacional de Seguridad e Higiene<\/em>).<\/p>\n
