EN 374-3:2003 Protective gloves against chemicals and micro-organisms. Part 3: Determination of resistance to permeation by chemicals

This document 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 was approved by CEN on 24 July 2003. This document supersedes EN 374-3:1994. — 14 p.
This European Standard specifies the determination of the resistance of protective glove materials to permeation by potentially hazardous non-gaseous chemicals under the condition of continuous contact.
It is emphasised that the test does not represent conditions likely to be found in service, and the use of test data should be restricted to comparing materials chiefly on a relative basis in broad categories of breakthrough times.
