LegislationGloves

The medical gloves must comply with the Medical Device Directive (MDD)To prove this the gloves are tested according toseveral harmonized standards:

EN 455-1: Medical gloves for single use – Part 1: Requirements and testing for freedom from holes

EN 455-2: Medical gloves for single use – Part 2: Requirements and testing for physical properties.

EN 455-3: Medical gloves for single use – Part 3: Requirements and testing for biological evaluation

EN 455-4: Medical gloves for single use – Part 4: Requirements and testing for shelf life determination

Protective gloves must comply with the require-ments of the directive for Personel Protective Equipment.The standards which apply to protective glovesare among others:

EN 420: Protective gloves – General requirements and test methods

EN 374-1: Protective gloves against chemicals and micro-organisms – Part 1: Terminology and performance requirements.

EN 374-2: Protective gloves against chemicals and micro-organisms – Part 2: Determination of resistance to penetration

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

EN 388: Protective gloves against mechanical risks.

Which standards must the gloves comply with?

It can be difficult to understand the legislation for the labelling and classification of gloves. With this guidance we try to make it more clear and easy.

General

The sale of gloves in the EU requires that they are CE-labelled. Gloves can be CE-labelled as medical device or as protective clothing or – according to the new declaration for medical device – as both.

If a glove is CE-labelled as both medical device and protective clothing it needs to comply with both directives described below. This folder describes the 2 directives individually.

What is the difference between a medical glove and a protective glove?

A medical glove is defined as: Gloves intended for use in the medical field to protect patient and user from cross-contamination

A protective glove is defined as: Personal protective equipment, which protects the hand or part of the hand against hazards. It can additionally cover part of the forearm and arm.

Disposable Medical Gloves

EN 455-1: Medical gloves for

single use – Part 1: Requirements and testing for freedom from holes

EN 455-2: Medical gloves for single use – Part 2: Requirements and testing for physical properties

EN 455-3: Medical gloves for single use – Part 3: Requirements and testing for biological evaluation

EN 455-4: Medical gloves for single use – Part 4: Requirements and testing for shelf life determination

The AQL level for pinholes has to be 1,5 to meet the requirements for this standard.

This standard sets requirements to the width and length of the different sizes of gloves. Furthermore, there are requirements for the force at break

This standard describes how to test the gloves (latex) for the protein content. There are references to standards, where gloves are tested as to irritation and sensibilisation. Furthermore, it is required of the manufacturers not to use chemicals in the production, which can be harmful to health. If this is not possible, these chemicals must be limited to an absolute minimum. Furthermore, there are demands as to the cleanness of sterile gloves.

The shelf life of the gloves must be tested both by accelarated ageing, but also by ageing over real time. When expiring the gloves must still comply with the 3 above mentioned standards.

Medical examination gloves are class I medical device

This means that the manufacturer is responsible to ensure that the gloves comply with the requirements of the CE-labelling of gloves.

Medical sterile examination gloves are class Is device

Also here the manufacturer is responsible to ensure that the gloves comply with the requirements for CE-labelling but the sterilisation proces needs to be approved by a notified body. Therefore, the CE-label must be followed by 4 digits for the identification of the notified body.

Medical sterile surgical gloves are class IIa medical device

Surgical gloves must be approved by a notified body. The CE-label must be followed by 4 digits for the identification of the notified body.

Protective Gloves

Standards for the testing of gloves:

Category 1:

Gloves of this category are for low risk working tasks. In some cases it would be possible to conduct these tasks without gloves.

Category 2:

In this category the gloves are tested according to one or more standards (described below). They are marked with pictograms to indicate the risks they protect against and to which extent. The gloves are CE-labelled and the pictograms only apply if the tests are conducted by an independent testing institute.

Category 3:

The gloves in this category protect the users against external risks - in some cases fatal risks. These gloves are also tested according to one or more standards, just like the gloves of category 2. Furthermore, the manufacturer needs approval according to a quality system (such as ISO 9001) to ensure an equal production. In addition to the CE-label these gloves carry a 4 digit code, which identifies the notified body, which approved the production.

Protective gloves are divided into 3 categories: Category 1 – Simple category

Category 2 – Intermediate category

Category 3 – Complex categori

EN 420: Protective gloves – General requirements and testing methods

EN 374-1: Protective gloves against chemicals and micro-organisms – Part 1: Terminology and performance requirements.

EN 374-2: Protective gloves against chemicals and micro-organisms – Part 2: Determination of resistance to penetration

These 2 pictograms can be used for gloves, which are tested according to the test methods described in EN 374-2, and they must at least comply with level 2, which also means that they meet AQL 1.5

This pictogram means protection against micro organisms.

This pictogram means protection against low risk chemicals.

The chemicals against which the glove provides protection must be mentioned with the symbols stated below:

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

This symbol applies if the glove can resist permeation of 3 of the following chemicals for at least 30 minutes.

EN 388: Protective gloves against mechanical risks.

The pictogram is used when the glove is tested against mechanical risks. 4 numbers will be stated under the pictogram.

Permeation time converted to protection- index:

1 > 10 min2 > 30 min3 > 60 min4 > 120 min5 > 240 min6 > 480 min

These numbers refer to, in given order, how resistant the glove is against the following:

A. Abrasion resistance (0-4)B. Blade cut resistance (0-5)C. Tear resistance (0-4)D. Puncture resistance (0-4) 0 is the lowest value and 5 the highest.

A – methanolB – acetoneC – acetonitrileD – dichloromethaneE – carbon disulfideF – tolueneG – diethylamineH – tetrahydrofuranI – ethyl acetateJ – n-heptaneK – Sodium hydroxide 40%L – Sulphuric acid 96%
