Mechanical requirements (sampling test)
- Average tensile strength : ≥ 16 MPa
- Average elongation at break : ≥ 600%
- Puncture resistance : ≥ 18N/mm
- Tension set : ≤ 15 %
Thermal requirements (sampling test)
- Resistance to low temperature :
conditioning of gloves for 1 hour at -25 ± 3°C. The tests are satisfactory if no tearing, breaking or cracking after folding is visible on the cuff and if the gloves pass the proof test voltage and withstand test voltage.
- Flame retardancy test :
Application of a flame for 10 seconds at a finger tip.
The test is satisfactory if, after 55 seconds, the flame has not reached the marker located 55mm away at the other end.
Packaging
Each pair of gloves is packaged in a different coloured opaque sachet depending on its class of protection.
The following information is given on the packaging : class, size, categories, type of cuff, length, test date, manufacture batch number and validation batch number. |
