Full chemical protection TYP A
Full chemical protection gloves primarily aim to protect the hands against chemicals. They are assigned to the PSA Category III. Due to the infinite range of chemicals, there is no one specific glove that will offer protection against all liquids. Instead, the best product must be selected for the task at hand. Full chemical protection has a protection index of at least 2, i.e. a permeation time > 30 minutes for at least 6 of 12 statutory defined test chemicals. (Permeation = penetration on a molecular level).
TYPE A
Permeation performance at least level 2, >30 minutes against at least six chemicals in the list:
Testing Criteria:
A- Methanol
B- Acetone
C- Acetonitrite
D- Di-chloromethane
E- Carbon disulphide
F- Tuluol
G- Diethylamine
H- Tetrahydrofuran
I- Ethyl acetate
J- N-Heptane
K- Sodium hydroxide 40 %
L- Sulphuric acid 96 %
M- Nitric acid 65 %
N- Acetic acid 99 %
O- Ammonium hydroxide 25%
P- Hydrogen peroxide 30 %
S- Hydrofloric acid 40 %
T- Formaldehyde 37 %
Microorganisms
It is usually assumed that protection gloves that withstand penetration in the test, offer effective protection against bacteria and fungi. However, because many viruses are much smaller than bacteria and fungi, these protection gloves may offer inadequate protection in practical fields.
A protection glove that is resistant to bacteria is a watertight glove that has a maximum AQL value of 1.5 in the permeability test. The AQL value (AQL = Acceptable Quality Level) reflects a given limit or the minimum quality requirement.
In general, the lower the AQL value, the better the quality of the protection gloves.
Protection against microorganisms:
Gloves that protect against viruses, bacteria and fungi.
Mechanical risks
Protection gloves of this standard need to protect against physical and mechanical loads such as wear, cuts, puncturing, tearing or felling cuts. These loads can occur when working with metal or wood or any other tasks where hands need to be protected against mechanical injury. Also, they must comply with the regulations relating to electrical conductivity of protection gloves.
Protection gloves for mechanical risks must satisfy at least one of the test criteria listed in the table.
Testing Criteria:
Abrasion Resistance: 0-4
Cut Resistance: 0-5
Tear Resistance: 0-4
Puncture Resistance: 0-4
EN-ISO cut resistance: A-F
EN impact protection: yes/no
The higher the number (shown with an X below the icon in the example), the better the test result.
- Liquid-repellent
- Ideal for handling oils and grease
- Wear-resistant
- For rough work
- Good wet and oily grip

Protection against the cold
When selecting protection gloves for work in the cold, the tasks and also the environmental conditions (humidity, ambient temperature) must be taken into account, because if the gloves become wet, they may lose their insulating properties. Likewise, the protection gloves should remain flexible in these conditions and not lead to hand fatigue, even in extreme temperatures.
Winter work gloves against the cold should offer protection against both convective cold and direct contact, i.e. with cold objects. In both cases, 4 is the highest performance level.
Checking that the gloves are waterproof is voluntary. There are two values for this: 0 and 1. If after 30 minutes no water has penetrated, the gloves are marked with the value 1.
engelbert strauss offers both waterproof and also winter work gloves for optimum protection against the cold.
Testing Criteria:
Convective Cold Resistance: 0-4
Contact Cold Resistance: 0-4
Water Permeability: 0-1
The higher the number (shown with an X below the icon in the example), the better the test result.
These are gloves specially designed for cold winter days; they satisfy specific work requirements and keep the hands warm thanks to a variety of materials.
