Overview
SIST EN 407:2020/oprA1:2022 addresses the requirements and test methods for protective gloves and other hand protective equipment designed to guard against thermal risks such as heat and/or fire. Developed by the Slovenian Institute for Standardization (SIST), this standard supports professional, consumer, and domestic use, ensuring safety for a range of applications where the hands or part of the hands may be exposed to thermal hazards. It also applies to arm protective equipment. This document supplements EN 407:2020 and must be used in conjunction with EN ISO 21420:2020.
Key Topics
Thermal Risk Protection: Covers a variety of heat and fire risks, including:
- Flame
- Contact heat
- Convective heat
- Radiant heat
- Small splashes or large quantities of molten metal
Safety Requirements: Specifies general and specific safety criteria that gloves and related protective equipment must meet, including marking and provision of information for users.
Testing Procedures: Outlines standardized methods to verify protective capabilities, such as performance under specific thermal conditions and the durability of materials used in manufacturing.
Marking and Information: Details the required markings, such as pictograms and performance levels, to indicate protection levels and intended use. It includes updates to the information that must be provided by manufacturers, ensuring clarity for end-users regarding limitations and recommended use.
Coverage Limitations: The standard excludes gloves specifically intended for firefighters or welders, as these are covered by dedicated standards.
Applications
SIST EN 407:2020/oprA1:2022 is essential in environments where hand and arm protection from heat and fire is crucial. The main applications of this standard include:
- Industrial Settings: Used by workers in foundries, metalworking, glass manufacturing, and other industries that handle hot objects or are exposed to molten metal.
- Consumer and Domestic Use: Suitable for situations where individuals need protection from hot surfaces or flames, such as cooking or woodworking.
- Professional Use Outside Industry: Includes laboratory work, maintenance roles, or any profession requiring occasional but significant protection against thermal hazards.
- Arm Protective Equipment: Extends protection beyond the hand, ensuring up-to-standard equipment for forearm and full-arm protection.
- Compliance with EU Regulations: Supports conformance with the EU’s Regulation (EU) 2016/425 on personal protective equipment (PPE), providing a voluntary method for meeting legal safety obligations.
Related Standards
For comprehensive protection and conformity, the following related standards are relevant:
- EN ISO 21420:2020: General requirements for protective gloves, including ergonomics, safety, and labeling. It must be used in conjunction with SIST EN 407:2020/oprA1:2022.
- EN 6942:2002: Test methods for assessing glove performance, particularly radiant heat exposure.
- EN ISO 7500-1:2018: Specifies requirements for tensile testing equipment used in testing hand and arm protective equipment.
- Firefighter and Welding Glove Standards: Gloves used exclusively for firefighting or welding should comply with their own specific standards, not SIST EN 407:2020/oprA1:2022.
By following SIST EN 407:2020/oprA1:2022, manufacturers, employers, and consumers can ensure effective protection against heat and fire hazards, align with current safety regulations, and make informed choices when selecting hand and arm PPE. This standard is an essential resource for advancing workplace and consumer safety in high-risk environments.
