Title (German)

Schutzhandschuhe gegen ionisierende Strahlung und radioaktive Kontamination; Deutsche Fassung EN 421:2010

Overview

This European Standard specifies requirements and test methods for gloves to protect against ionizing radiation and radioactive contamination. The standard applies to gloves offering protection to the hand and various parts of the arm and shoulder. It also applies to gloves to be mounted in permanent containment enclosures. This standard applies to intermediary sleeves used between a glove and a permanent containment enclosure as well. The requirements of this European standard do not apply to protective gloves against X-ray radiation. The standard deals particularly with aspects of quality, health and occupational safety. The standard serves as a basis for placing protective gloves against ionizing radiation and radioactive contamination on the market in accordance with Directive 89/686/EEG on personal protective equipment. The gloves which correspond to this standard are used in areas in which there could be danger of ionizing radiation and radioactive contamination, for instance, when handling radioactive materials in containment enclosures.
