21、ndard addressing essential requirements or other provisions of EU Directives 29Page 3 EN 1082-1 : 1996 BSI 1997 0 Introduction Chain mail gloves and metal or plastic arm guards that offer some protection against stabs are used in those aspects of work where a knife is moved towards the users hand an
22、d forearm, especially when working with hand knives in slaughterhouses, in the meat, fish and shellfish processing industries, in large scale catering establishments, and in manual boning-out operations to process meat, game and poultry. Protective gloves and arm guards against stabs may also offer
23、adequate protection for those working with hand knives in the plastics, leather, textile and paper industries, when laying flooring and similar tasks. Attention is drawn to legislation and other standards concerning public health in the food industry and hygiene in the meat processing industries, th
24、at might apply to the construction, construction materials and cleaning of protective gloves and arm guards and associated straps and fasteners. It should be noted that the tests specified in this European Standard are designed to be severe, and in some cases destructive, in order to adequately test
25、 the products. The requirements in this European Standard based on these tests do not imply that in normal use, knives will penetrate gloves or arm guards by significant distances. It has been assumed in the drafting of this European Standard that the execution of its provisions is entrusted to appr
26、opriately qualified and experienced people, for whose guidance it has been prepared. The apparatus described should only be used by competent persons and requires safeguards to prevent, as far as is reasonably practicable, injury to the operator and other persons. 1 Scope This European Standard spec
27、ifies requirements for the design, penetration resistance, ergonomic characteristics, straps, weight, material, marking and instructions for use, of gloves and arm guards. It also specifies the appropriate test methods. This European Standard applies to protective chain mail gloves and to metal and
28、plastics arm guards for use with hand knives. 2 Normative reference This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated r
29、eferences, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the publication referred to applies. EN 412 : 1993 Protective aprons for use with hand kni
30、ves 3 Definitions For the purposes of this European Standard, the following definitions apply. 3.1 Anatomical The defined terms are illustrated in figure 1. 3.1.1 digit One of the terminal divisions of the hand. These are numbered from (1) the thumb, to (5) the little finger in figure 1 and the numb
31、ers are used to denote the appropriate digits in this European Standard. 3.1.2 wrist This is the radio-carpal joint. To obtain the surface marking of the wrist level place the hand and forearm, fully relaxed, on a flat surface with the palm upwards. A finger tip is pressed firmly in the direction of
32、 the arrow in figure 1, to palpate the styloid process of the ulna, which is located towards the dorsal surface of the hand. Mark the transverse level of the palpated ulna styloid process. A plane 10 mm proximal to this level is the plane of the wrist. Note that skin creases are not an adequate guid
33、e to the level of the wrist. 3.2 Clothing The defined terms are illustrated in figure 2. 3.2.1 glove A hand covering for the whole hand that has protective material extending to the wrist and covers each digit separately, see figure 2a. 3.2.2 short cuff glove A glove with protective material continu
34、ous with it of length (A) in figure 2b proximal to the wrist. 3.2.3 long cuff glove A glove with a permanently attached stiff but flexible cuff of length (B) in figure 2c covering the forearm to a point which is at a distance (C) in figure 2c from the upper arm surface when the elbow is flexed at 90
35、. NOTE. Deprecated: gauntlet: this is an inexact synonym of long cuff glove. 3.2.4 arm guard A protective device covering the forearm. It may be permanently attached to or held in place by a glove with a special short cuff of length (D) in figure 2c while both are used. It extends to a point which i
36、s at distance (C) from the upper arm surface when the elbow is flexed at 90. 3.2.5 arm guard and glove assembly An arm guard correctly attached to or correctly worn with a compatible glove with a total length (B) in figures 2c and 2d from the wrist. 3.2.6 long arm guard A protective device that cove
37、rs the forearm and extends onto the upper arm. It may be secured to the body or to clothing so that it remains in place during use, see figure 2e.Page 4 EN 1082-1 : 1996 BSI 1997 4 Requirements 4.1 Dimensions of the protective surface areas of gloves and arm guards The coverage provided by gloves sh
38、all be assessed in accordance with 6.1.4. For details of dimensions, sizing and fitting of gloves and arm guards see annexes A, B and D. 4.1.1 Gloves A five finger glove shall be designed to provide protection to all of the hand up to the wrist. The coverage shall be continuous except for a slit on
39、the ulnar surface of the palm to aid putting on and taking off the glove. When the wrist strap is adjusted as in use the slit shall be closed by overlapping chain mail. 4.1.2 Short cuff gloves Short cuff gloves shall be designed to provide continuous protection from the finger tips to a length (A) i
40、n figure 2b at least 75 mm proximal to the wrist. The cuff shall either be stiffened so that it has a minimum compressed length of 75 mm and so that the difference between its compressed and extended length is less than 20 mm when measured in accordance with 6.2.2, or shall be attached to the upper

The proximal end of the protection should be at a distance (C) in fi
42、gures 2c and 2d of not more than 75 mm from the upper arm surface when the elbow is flexed at 90, see annex B. Long cuff glove cuffs shall either be stiffened so that at least the minimum coverage is provided when the cuff is compressed and measured in accordance with 6.2.2, or shall be attached to
43、the upper body or to the arm or to clothing so that the minimum required coverage is maintained in use. 4.1.4 Glove sizes Gloves shall be marked with their size based on the hand size they are designed to fit, or with the colour coded strap appropriate to the dimensions of the glove as given in anne
