BS EN 421:2010EN 421:2010 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies requirements and test methods for gloves to protect against ionizing radiation and radioactive contamination. The standard is applicable to glove

25、s offering protection to the hand and various parts of the arm and shoulder. It applies also to gloves to be mounted in permanent containment enclosures. This European Standard also applies to intermediary sleeves used between a glove and a permanent containment enclosure (report to 4.7.2.3). The re

26、quirements of this European Standard do not apply to protective gloves against X-ray radiation. 2 Normative references The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document.

42、vant requirements defined in EN 420, with the following specific additions. The glove may be constructed from a single or multiple material layers. The choice of material is defined by the end use requirements. In the case of protection against external ionizing radiation the glove may contain lead

43、(PbO, Pb3O4) or other heavy metallic elements to act as attenuation medium in one or more of the layers. Metallic element distribution may be uniform or designed. 4.2.2 Glove sizing and dimensions Gloves shall be sized following prescriptions of EN 420:2003+A1:2009, 5.1. NOTE In case where specific

44、use identified, special tests can be identified according to Annex B. 4.3 Attenuation efficiency and uniformity of distribution of protective material The lead equivalent thickness shall be measured by one of the methods described in 5.1. The test methods give equivalent results. The efficiency of t

45、he glove material to absorb radiation is quoted as lead equivalent thickness. The gloves shall have at least a lead equivalence thickness of 0,05 mm. BS EN 421:2010EN 421:2010 (E) 8 Except for special design (see 4.7.2) the uniformity shall be such that no single measurement shall be below the speci

46、fied value of the stated lead equivalent thickness. A minimum of four measurements shall be taken for each test condition (see 5.1.3) and the minimum value obtained is taken as the lead equivalence in millimetres. The lead equivalent thickness shall always be linked with the nature and energy of the

47、 radiation used during tests (see Clauses 6 and 7). 4.4 Glove integrity The purpose of the glove to protect against ionizing radiation or radioactive contamination is to isolate the user from the potential hazard. This is only possible if the integrity of the glove is proven. Gloves shall pass an in

48、tegrity test: the integrity shall comply with the requirements of EN 374-1:2003, 5.2. 4.5 Mechanical requirements For each protective glove against radioactive contamination and/or ionizing radiation, the obtained performance level shall be indicated in the information supplied by the manufacturer f

According to the test methods described in EN 388:2003, at least level 1 shall be reached for one of the four mechanical properties. For special purposes, dexterity is the most important parameter, in this case no level of protection of EN 388 has to be reached, bu
