10、d/or fire), published by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). Together with BS EN 374-1, BS EN 374-2, BS EN 374-3, BS EN 388 and BS EN 420, it supersedes BS 1651:1986 which is withdrawn. EN 407 was produced as a result of international discussions in which the United Kingdom took an act
11、ive part. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations. Summary of pages This document

It is to be used for all gloves which protect the hands against heat and/or flames in one or more of the following forms: fire, contact heat, convective heat, radiant
24、 heat, small splashes or large quantities of molten metal. Product tests may only give performance levels and not protection levels. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated and undated references, provisions from other publications.

30、he extinction of the flame up to the cessation of glowing. If the sample is not ignited by the ignition source, but it glows after the removal of the ignition source, then the after glow time is measured from the time of removal of the ignition source 3.3 melting the liquefaction of the material und

33、 gloves shall correspond to at least performance level 1 of EN 388:1993, clause 4. 5 Thermal performance For each of the following test methods the defined performance level depends upon the intended area of application of the glove. Only the tests which are relevant to the risks existing in the end

See Table 6. Table 6 6 Test methods For mu
38、ltilayered gloves, the tests are carried out simultaneously on all layers, even if these in some circumstances are no longer connected. This applies to test methods described in 6.4, 6.5, 6.6, 6.7, and 6.8. 6.1 Abrasion Test according to EN 388. 6.2 Tear resistance Test according to EN 388. 6.3 Burn
39、ing behaviour Test method is that given in ISO 6941 with the following modifications. The burner is lighted and preheated for 2 min. The perpendicular flame height is adjusted to (40 2) mm, the distance being measured between the burner tip and the yellow flame tip. The flame is viewed in a dim ligh
40、t. The glove is mounted vertically so that the point A (Figure 1) is at the midpoint of the lower edge.

EN 407:1994 BSI 02-19995 The burner is placed below the glove so that it is in a plan
42、e with the vertical middle line of the glove or the middle finger and is perpendicular to the surface of the glove. The burner is mounted at an angle of 30 to the vertical. The distance between the tip of the burner and the lower edge of the glove or the middle finger must be 20 mm. One glove is tes
43、ted for each ignition time, i.e. for 3 s and 15 s. The after flame time and after glow time are recorded for each ignition time (see Table 1). Moreover the material, if it melts, shall not drip and the seam shall not come apart in the burn test area. 6.4 Contact heat Test method according to prEN 70
44、2. From each palm area of three gloves one sample is taken with a diameter of 80 mm. From the three single values for the threshold time tt the arithmetic mean is calculated and stated to the nearest whole second. 6.5 Convective heat The test method is that given in EN 367 with the following modific
45、ations. The size of the test specimen shall be 140 mm 140 mm. If it is not possible to take such a specimen from a glove then a material sample should be used, provided it was produced in the same way as the glove.

For each material type or material assembly, three specimens shall be tested. The arithmetic mean is calculated from the three single values and stated to
47、the nearest whole second. 6.6 Radiant heat The test method is that given in EN 366:1993, method B, with the following modifications. From the back of the glove of a pair of gloves, two specimens of 70 mm 170 mm are taken. Heat flux density qo = 20 kW/m2 In the case of multilayered gloves the test is
48、 carried out simultaneously on all layers. Heat transfer level 3 is determined which is characterized by the time t3 taken for the heat transmitted through the specimen to reach a level of 2.5 kW/m2. The arithmetic mean of the two single values is calculated and expressed to the nearest second. 6.7
49、Small drops of molten metal Test method according to EN 348. The test is carried out on four specimens. Specimens are taken from each palm and back of pair of gloves. The specimen size is 120 mm 20 mm. From these single values the arithmetic mean is calculated and stated to the nearest whole number of drops. 6.8 Large quantities of molten metal The test method is that given in EN 373 with the following modifications. The test is carried out with each three specim
