Explanation Standards for Gloves

At H&D Trading, we understand how important it is to provide the right protection for your employees. Our gloves comply with the European EN 374 standards, which ensure performance and safety against chemicals and micro-organisms. Below, we explain what these standards mean:

EN 374-1: This standard sets the general requirements for gloves that provide protection against chemicals and micro-organisms. Gloves that comply with this standard ensure the appropriate level of protection.

EN 374-2: This test assesses the air and water tightness of gloves. Gloves that meet this standard protect against the penetration of hazardous substances through leaks.

EN 374-3: This standard tests the resistance of gloves against specific chemicals. It measures the time it takes for a chemical to penetrate the glove, ensuring the glove’s effectiveness.

EN 374-4: This test determines the permeability of different chemicals. It indicates how quickly a chemical can pass through the glove and is an important measure of protection.

EN 374-5: Gloves that comply with this standard provide protection against micro-organisms such as viruses and bacteria. They form a barrier that prevents harmful pathogens from entering the body.

At H&D Trading, we ensure that our gloves meet these strict standards, so that you and your employees are optimally protected against hazardous substances and infections. Please contact us for more information about our range and to find the right gloves for your specific needs.
