EN 420

EN 420 is a European standard that specifies the general requirements for protective gloves. It sets out criteria for glove design, materials, testing, and labelling to ensure safety and reliability. The goal is to make sure gloves provide adequate protection against hazards like chemicals, cuts, or heat, depending on their intended use. Manufacturers use EN 420 to meet consistent quality standards, helping users select appropriate gloves for various tasks and ensuring confidence in protection. It acts as a baseline for assessing glove performance across different types and brands within Europe.
