OSHA also mandates that such selection be based on an evaluation of performance characteristics of hand protection relative to t

9、he tasks being performed. ANSI/ISEA 105-2016 is the latest revision of a voluntary industry consensus standard that was first published in 1999 and revised in 2005 and 2011. The document classifies a whole glove or material used in the construction of an occupational glove to help people understand

10、glove performance data if they are not familiar with the details of the test methods and the results to be expected when testing. Such classifications can assist employers and product users in the appropriate specification and selection of gloves for specific workplace exposures. This document provi

11、des or refers to appropriate test methods for specified criteria and provides pass/fail criteria to allow users to interpret test results and determine if certain hand protection products meet their needs. One of the major changes in this fourth edition of ANSI/ISEA 105 surrounds the determination o

12、f classification for cut-resistance. For purposes of classifying a glove to this standard, a single test method has been selected in an effort to provide consistent meaning of the ratings from the end-user perspective. In addition, the number of classification levels has been expanded to address the

13、 disparate gap among certain levels seen in earlier versions and to model the approach used in similar international standards. Additional updates include the incorporation of a needlestick puncture test, recognizing that this is a common potential exposure for the medical, sanitation and recycling

14、industries. Cited test methods have been updated throughout the standard to reflect the state of the art in materials performance and technology and to harmonize with other existing standards, where possible. This revision was prepared by members of the Hand Protection Group of the International Saf

15、ety Equipment Association (ISEA). The following companies were members of the group at the time of the approval of the standard: Ansell Protective Products Magid Glove and Safety Mfg. Co.

This process involves: absorption of the chemical onto and into the outside of a glove; diffusion of the chemical through the glove, as individual molecules pass between molecules of the glove film; desorption of the chemical inside the glove. 3.3 Defin

Where the material in the glove varies, testing of the intended resistance area shall be performed. End-users shall be notified regarding the varying performance levels of these pr

Manufacturers shall be permitted to report the classification of specific performance properties for different areas of the hand protection items as long as the identification of the hand protec-tion item areas and their relative performance classifications are clearly described. 5.1 Mechani

29、cal Protection 5.1.1 Cut Resistance When tested in accordance with ASTM F2992-15, the gloves cut resistance shall be classified ANSI/ISEA 105-2016 Page 3 against the levels listed in Table 1, using the weight needed to cut through the material with 20 mm of blade travel. Data collection procedures i

30、n Appendix A shall be followed. Calculation for cut-resistance classification shall be done using the ISEA standardized template available at www.safetyequipment.org. The average of a minimum of 3 samples shall be used to report the classification level. Table 1. Classification for Cut Resistance Le

33、e in Table 6 is applicable for positive and negative change. For example, if the percentage change is +35% or -35%, the reported level is Level 3. 5.3 Heat and Flame Protection 5.3.1 Ignition Resistance and Burning Behavior (or After-Flame Time) When tested in accordance with ASTM F1358-08, the glov

34、e materials ignition resistance and burning behavior shall be classified against the levels listed in Table 7,using the ignition time and burn time. In order to be classified at a specific level, the glove material shall meet each of the criteria at that specific level. The average of a minimum of 3

35、 specimens shall be used to report the classification level. NOTE: For purposes of determining classification to this standard, the testing of a representative material sample is acceptable.

36、xposed to Flame (s) After-Flame Time (s) 0 3 2 1 3 2 2 12 2 3 12 2 4 No ignition in either 3 or 12 second exposure period NOTE: Glove performance classification is based on the combination of ignition time and burn time. In testing to ASTM F1358, the material is first exposed to flame and the time t

37、o flame extinction is determined. The time of flame exposure is then subtracted to determine the after-flame time. Testing is performed at either 3 or 12 seconds of flame exposure time. If no ignition occurs with a 3 second exposure to the flame, the sample is subjected to a 12 second exposure, the

38、time for flame extinction is determined and the after-flame time is calculated. Since it is difficult to distinguish whether ignition has occurred when the material is within the flame, the determination of ignition time coincides with the flame exposure period. Hence, the ignition time can only be

39、3 seconds, 12 seconds, or no ignition (if material never ignites during either exposure period). Burn time is based on burning behavior after the exposure period. 5.3.2 Heat Degradation Resistance When tested in accordance with ISO 17493:2000, the glove materials heat degradation resistance shall be

40、 classified against the levels listed in Table 8. The classification of the glove shall be at the temperature in which there is no evidence of charring, ignition, melting, dripping, and separation, and there is no shrinkage greater than 5%. Convective heat resistance testing shall be performed on wh

41、ole gloves. The average of a minimum of 3 specimens shall be used to report the classification level. Table 8.

43、ime-to-second degree burn is equal to or greater than 15 seconds, and the alarm time is greater than 4 seconds. The average of a minimum of 5 specimens shall be used to report the classification level. Table 9. Classification for Conductive Heat Resistance Level Highest contact temperature (C) at wh

ANSI/ISEA 105-2016 Page 6 5.4 Vibration Reduction

45、 When tested in accordance with ANSI S2.73-2002 (R2007), the gloves vibration reduction shall be classified as “pass/fail.” A glove shall only be considered as an “anti-vibration glove” according to this standard if it fulfills both of the following criteria: TRM 1.0 and TRH 0.6 NOTE: For purposes o

46、f this standard, only full fingered gloves shall be classified as “anti-vibration” gloves. 5.5 Dexterity When tested in accordance with clause 6.2 of EN 420: 2009, the dexterity shall be classified against the levels in Table 10, using smallest diameter of the pin that can be picked up. The average

47、of 4 pairs of gloves shall be used to report the classification level. Table 10.
