Pertains to insulating gloves and mitts which should normally be used in conjunction with leather protector gloves worn over the insulating gloves to provide mechanical protection; and insulating gloves and mitts usable without over-gloves for mechanical protection.

This International Standard is applicable to:

  • insulating gloves and mitts which should normally be used in conjunction with leather protector gloves worn over the insulating gloves to provide mechanical protection;

  • insulating gloves and mitts usable without over-gloves for mechanical protection.

Unless otherwise stated, the use of the term “glove?? includes both gloves and mitts. The use of the term “insulating gloves?? designates gloves providing electrical protection only. The use of the term “composite gloves?? designates gloves providing electrical and mechanical protection.
