BS EN 374-4:2013 Protective gloves against chemicals and micro-organisms Part 4: Determination of resistance to degradation by chemicals

This British Standard is the UK implementation of EN 374-4:2013. This British Standard was published under the authority of the Standards Policy and Strategy Committee on 30 November 2013. — 18 p. — ISBN: 978 0 580 77775 2.
This European Standard specifies the test method for the determination of the resistance of protective glove materials to degradation by dangerous chemicals with continuous contact.
NOTE Annex A gives information on interlaboratory test results on this method.
Other tests used to evaluate chemical resistance such as permeation resistance and penetration resistance may not provide sufficient information on the physical property changes affecting a glove during exposure to a chemical. It is necessary that the outside surface of the glove be exposed to the chemical.
