The CE Directive requires a mark to
be placed on the glove and / or the
packing
|
 |
-
EC type tests are carried out
under controlled laboratory
conditions and often on cut
specimens. Hence they do not
necessarily represent
conditions likely to be found
in actual use. Before
selecting a glove for a
specific application, its
suitability needs to be
evaluated under actual working
conditions.
-
The use of data should
therefore be restricted to
comparing products on a
relative basis.
-
The higher the rating, the
better the performance.
-
O
represents a fails.
-
X indicates no test was
carried out.
