BS EN 16350:2014EN 16350:2014 (E) 4 1 Scope This Europe
16、an Standard provides additional requirements for protective gloves that are worn in areas where flammable or explosive areas exist or might be present (see IEC 60079-32-1). It specifies a test method and requirements for performance, marking and information for electrostatic dissipative protective g
17、loves to minimize explosion risks. This European Standard does not cover: protection of electronic devices; protection against mains voltages; insulative protective gloves for live working (EN 60903); protective gloves for welders (EN 12477). The requirements may not be sufficient in oxygen enriched
18、 flammable atmospheres. This European Standard should be used with the specific standards applicable to the risks for which the glove is designed. NOTE The electrostatic dissipative protective gloves are effective only if the wearer is earthed through a resistance lower than108. 2 Normative referenc
19、es The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 4

22、 exceeds 21;5 % volume fraction of air Note 1 to entry: Minimum ignition energy values are commonly specified for mixtures with air containing normal levels of oxygen, i.e. (21,0 0,5) % volume fraction. Note 2 to entry: In normal industrial situations, it is unlikely that people will be working in a

26、tical resistance: Rv 1,0 108. 4.2.2 Design requirements 4.2.2.1 Protective gloves shall be produced without electrically conductive connections (e.g. by metal rivets). 4.2.2.2 External thin attachments, such as labels or reflective stripes shall be permanently attached around all edges. 4.2.2.3 Adju
27、stment systems such as hook and loop systems shall not be used. 5 Test methods 5.1 Preparation of test specimens Testing shall be conducted on unused gloves. If care instructions are provided, the test shall be performed also after the recommended number of cleaning cycles. 5.2 Specimens 5.2.1 One s
28、pecimen sized 10 cm x 10 cm shall be taken from each palm of 5 different gloves of the same type. 5.2.2 If this size of specimen is not possible, then a smaller specimen suitable for the adjusted test apparatus specified in 5.4.2 shall be used. It shall be mentioned in the test report. BS EN 16350:2
29、014EN 16350:2014 (E) 6 5.2.3 The specimens shall be free of any seam. 5.2.4 Multiple layers which are unbonded to each other shall be tested together. 5.2.5 If palm, back of the hand or cuff consist of different materials or material combinations, five specimens shall be taken of each. 5.2.6 The spe
30、cimens shall be handled only at the edges. 5.3 Conditioning and testing atmosphere The electrostatic properties may vary with the moisture content of the material. The specimens shall be conditioned prior to testing for at least 48h. The conditioning atmosphere shall be the same as the test atmosphe
31、re. The testing atmosphere for the determination of the vertical resistance shall be: Air temperature: (23 1) C; Relative humidity: (25 5) %. 5.4 Test apparatus 5.4.1 The test apparatus shall comply with EN 1149-2:1997, Clause 5. 5.4.2 A smaller test apparatus shall be used to test smaller size spec
32、imens, as specified in EN 61340-2-3. If a smaller test apparatus is used, it shall be mentioned in the test report. NOTE Inter laboratory tests have showed good correlation between both methods of EN 11492:1997 and EN 613402-3. 5.5 Test procedure The test shall be carried out according to EN 1149-2:
33、1997, Clause 7. If a smaller test apparatus as specified in 5.4.2 is used, then the test shall be carried out according to EN 61340-2-3. Should the specimens consist of multiple layers which are unbonded, all layers shall be tested together. 5.6 Expression of results Each test result determined on t
34、he palm and on materials or material combinations as described in 5.2.5 is expressed as a vertical resistance Rv, in Ohm. 5.7 Test report In the test report reference shall be made to this European Standard and the following shall be reported: a) Description of the material tested and dimensions of
