UNE-EN 511:1996
UNE-EN 511 defines requirements and testing methods for gloves protecting against convection or conduction cold up to – 50°C. Cold may be caused by weather conditions or industrial activity. Specific values for the different performance levels are defined in accordance to hazard type or application area.
WARNING: These products are tested to determine performance (not protection) levels. These gloves are Category 2 Personal Protection Equipment items. There are Category 3 gloves, though not covered by this standard. Gloves need to comply at least with requirements of level 1 for resistance against abrasion and tear as per UNE-EN 388.
