16、4 EN 14328:2005 (E) 3 Foreword This document (EN 14328:2005) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 162 “Protective clothing including hand and arm protection and lifejackets”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard,
17、either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by October 2005, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by October 2005. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Associ
18、ation, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive 89/686/EEC. For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document. This document contains a bibliography. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organiz
19、ations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slov

EN 14328:2005 (E) 4 Introduction Powered knives are used when it is advantageous, to reduce the muscular effort required by the worker, or to increase their rate of working. They are commonly used in clothing factories, in slaughterhouses and in m
21、eat cutting plants. Band knives, reciprocating straight knives, rotating circular cutters and other designs are used. Electricity or compressed air normally powers them. The tool driving the blade may be partly supported by the work pieces or by the workbench, or may be held in one hand. The edges o
22、f the blades may be quite smooth, coarsely honed, finely serrated or scalloped. They need to be distinguished from cutting blades with saw-tooth edges with teeth above 1 mm in height, which generally are unsafe to use with chain mail gloves, and armguards. Powered knives enable workers to cut rapidl
23、y through very resistant materials. Their hands are always in the vicinity of the blade in order to present the work piece to the blade, and it is not possible to guard the whole cutting edge. Thus there is significant potential for serious hand injuries during cutting operations. Most accidents occ
24、ur during cutting but they are also recorded during blade changing, blade cleaning, guard adjustment, and moving the tool. At the present time it is not known that any practical glove material other than metal chain mail provides significant protection against powered knives. Even chain mail is rapi
25、dly cut through and injuries will only be avoided by strict adherence to safe working practices. Armguards made from sheet metal or rigid plastic material also provide some protection. Users of chain mail gloves note that the vibration and noise caused by contact of their glove with a powered knife
26、blade often enables them to react in time to prevent an injury. EN 14328:2005 (E) 5 1 Scope This document specifies the requirements for the design, cut resistance, ergonomic characteristics, innocuousness, fixings, construction materials, marking and instructions for use, for chain mail gloves and
27、armguards providing protection against powered knives. Appropriate test methods are also specified. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

37、 General innocuousness requirements Gloves and armguards protecting against cuts by powered knives shall meet a general requirement that they are safe to use and fit for their purpose. They shall be designed and manufactured to provide protection when used according to the manufacturers instructions
38、, without endangering the user or others. There shall not be hard or sharp edges, seams, buckles or other items on their surfaces that could harm the user or others during normal use. Examination shall be made according to 5.4. All materials of the gloves and armguards protecting against cuts by pow
39、ered knives shall not adversely affect the health of the user. They shall be made of materials that have been shown to be chemical suitable. The materials shall not in the foreseeable conditions of normal use release or degrade to release substances generally known to be toxic, carcinogenic, mutagen
40、ic, allergenic or otherwise harmful. The manufacturers claim that the product is innocuous shall be checked according to 5.2. NOTE Information on the classification and identification of harmful substances can be found e.g. in the Council Directives 67/548/EEC 1 (classification, packaging, labelling
41、 of dangerous substances) and 76/769/EEC 2 (restriction on use of dangerous substances) and amendments. Any of the following documents that are available should be examined: a) The manufacturers technical file, b) Materials specifications from the material producers, and certificates of conformity,
42、c) Safety data sheets relating to the materials, d) Certificates or reports relating to the suitability of the materials for use with food, in medical devices, or other relevant applications. e) Certificates or reports relating to toxicological, allergenic, carcinogenic or mutagenic investigations o
43、n the materials, f) Other documents submitted by the manufacturer The examination should determine whether the claim that the materials are suitable for use in the protective clothing or protective equipment is justified. Particular attention shall be paid to the presence of plasticisers, unreacted
44、components, heavy metals or, impurities, and the chemical identity of pigments and dyes. EN 14328:2005 (E) 7 4.1.2 Specific innocuousness requirements In the absence of satisfactory documentary evidence, testing shall be conducted to ensure materials in gloves and armguards protecting against cuts b
45、y powered knives meet the following requirements and any relevant additional requirements in EN 340: a) The chromium VI content of leather in clothing and gloves shall comply with the requirement in EN 420. b) All metallic materials which could come permanently into contact with the skin such as cha
46、in mail, sheet metal, studs, fittings and buckles, shall be free of nickel or shall have an emission of nickel of less than 0,5 g/cm per week. The test methods shall be according to EN 12472 and EN 1811. c) The pH value of any leather or fabric components shall be greater than 3,5 and less than 9,5.
47、 The test method for leather shall be according to EN ISO 4045 and for other materials according to ISO 3071. d) Substances such as azo-dyes which release carcinogenic amines as listed in EN 14362-1, shall not be detectable by the methods in Parts 1 and 2 of that standard. 4.2 Dimensions of the prot
48、ective surface areas of gloves and armguards 4.2.1 General The requirements for gloves and armguards protecting against cuts by powered knives shall be the same as those for chain mail gloves and chain mail or rigid arm guards given in EN 1082-1, except as listed below. Sizes and coverage shall be assessed according to 6.8 and Annex A of EN 1082-2:2000. 4.2.2 Gloves The coverage provided by gloves shall be continuous and without an open slit on the ulnar side of the palm. The possible slit shall be closed e.g. by overlapp
