NORMS AND CERTIFICATIONS

These standards help identify the types of risks for which the glove has been tested and the levels obtained in each section.

• EN ISO 374-1:2016 Type B (LPTAJKO): standard for protection against chemical products; type B indicates that it has passed permeation tests against at least 3 chemicals, and the letters identify which ones according to the standard's list.
• EN ISO 374-5:2016: standard associated with protection against microorganisms (penetration tests), useful in jobs with biological risk from splashes or contact with fluids.
• EN 388:2016 (3222C): standard for mechanical risks (abrasion, cut, tear, puncture, and ISO cut). Level C indicates cut resistance measured with ISO 13997.
• EN 407:2004 (34334X): standard for thermal risks; includes tests related to behavior against heat (for example, contact heat) according to the indicated level.
• EN 511:2006 (221): standard for protection against cold, relevant for work in cold environments or with contact with cold/wet surfaces.
• EN 420:2003 + A1:2009: general requirements for protective gloves (ergonomics, safety, marking, and information).

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT TEGERA Chemforce 494 Chemical Gloves with Cut Protection (Size 10)

For what type of work is it worth choosing an extra-long glove?

When there is a risk of splashes on the wrist and part of the forearm (transfers, industrial cleaning, process maintenance) or when working in wet areas where liquid may run down the sleeve. The greater length extends the covered area and reduces skin and clothing exposure.

Is it suitable for handling hot parts?

It has been tested for thermal risks and can withstand contact heat up to 500 °C. However, the duration of contact, the type of surface, and the presence of chemicals influence; it is advisable to avoid prolonged supports and ensure that the rest of the equipment and work procedure are appropriate.

What does the winter lining contribute to daily use?

It improves comfort in cold environments and in tasks with humidity, reducing the sensation of cold in the hand. It may also increase the perceived thickness, making it more suitable for general handling work than for tasks requiring high sensitivity at the fingertips.
