Defines requirements and test methods for two types of gloves, general duty gloves and public order gloves intended to be used for specialist operational activities such as public order situations and public order training.

This part of BS7971 specifies requirements and test methods for two types of gloves, general duty gloves and public order gloves intended to be used for specialist operational activities such as public order situations and public order training. They are intended to provide protection against different hazards such as mechanical risk, heat and flame and small volumes of certain liquids. NOTE If the risk assessment of other specialist gloves identifies hazards covered by this standard then in addition to any specific test requirements they might have, elements from this standard can be referenced.
