17、971-7:2003 BSI 22 April 2003 1 Introduction Slash resistant gloves are items of protective clothing and equipment which are generally, but not exclusively, worn by serving police officers and prison officers whilst they are engaged in operational duties and in training. They are also used by civilia
18、ns engaged in activities where the risks of attack and assault are similar, e.g. private security personnel, bullion handlers, escorts and couriers. These gloves are intended to reduce the risk of injury from edged weapons. The test methods specified in this part of BS 7971 have been designed to mea
19、sure the performance of gloves with respect to the protection they can be expected to provide against this hazard. However, these tests do not necessarily compare with the conditions to which police officers, prison officers and other users can be exposed in real life situations, where the mechanica
20、l hazards encountered might be different. 1 Scope This part of BS 7971 specifies performance requirements and test methods for slash resistant gloves for use by police and prison officers and others who might be exposed to attack and assault in the course of their duties, for use in operational situ
21、ations and in training. NOTE 1Information and guidance on the use of these gloves is given in Annex A. NOTE 2Guidance on risk assessment and the selection, care and maintenance of protective clothing and equipment for use in violent situations and in training is given in BS 7971-2. 2 Normative refer
22、ences The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including amendments) applies. BS 7971-1, Protective clothing and equipment fo

BS EN 420, General requirements for gloves. 3 Glove types and performance levels Slash resistant gloves shall be of a single type which shall be performance level 2,
24、as specified in BS 7971-1. 4 Construction and performance requirements 4.1 General Slash resistant gloves shall conform to BS EN 420 and to the general requirements for protective clothing and equipment for use in violent situations and in training specified in BS 7971-1, as applicable. 4.2 Construc
25、tion With the exception of any specially reinforced areas, gloves shall be of uniform construction over the whole surface. NOTESpecially reinforced areas may be included along the index finger, at the base of the thumb and on the back of the glove. 4.3 Sizing Sizing of gloves shall be in accordance
26、with BS EN 420. 4.4 Ergonomic performance and compatibility When tested in accordance with BS 7971-1, the gloves shall have a test score equal to or less than 5. 4.5 Abrasion resistance When material from the palm of the glove is tested in accordance with BS EN 388:1994, 6.1, it shall be at least pe
27、rformance level 2 as specified in BS EN 388:1994, Table 1 (i.e. no breakthrough after 500 cycles).

28、n material from the palm of the glove and from the back of the glove is tested in accordance with BS EN 388:1994, 6.2, it shall be at least performance level 5 as specified in BS EN 388:1994, Table 1 (i.e. a blade cut resistance index of 20.0). 4.7 Tear resistance When material from the palm of the
29、glove is tested in accordance with BS EN 388:1994, 6.3, it shall be at least performance level 3 as specified in BS EN 388:1994, Table 1 (i.e. resistant to a tearing force of 50 N). 4.8 Puncture resistance When material from the palm of the glove is tested in accordance with BS EN 388:1994, 6.4, it
30、shall be at least performance level 2 as specified in BS EN 388:1994, Table 1 (i.e. resistant to a puncture force of 60 N). 5 Test specimens, and conditioning and testing conditions 5.1 Test specimens Test specimens for the tests to be carried out on glove materials shall be either: a) cut from one
31、or more gloves; or b) specially constructed using identical materials and construction techniques to those used in making the gloves. For gloves with a multilayer construction, the test specimens shall include all the layers, even if, after the test specimen has been cut, the layers are no longer co
32、nnected to one another. Test specimens shall exclude any specially reinforced areas of the glove. At least one whole glove shall be submitted with each set of test specimens, for checking conformity to 4.2. 5.2 Conditioning Before testing, the test specimens shall be conditioned in accordance with B
33、S EN 388:1994, 5.3. Either the tests shall be carried out in the conditioning atmosphere or, if the tests are carried out in an atmosphere different to the conditioning atmosphere, the tests shall be commenced within 5 min of the test specimens being removed from the conditioning environment and sha
34、ll be completed within 15 min.

35、pecified in this part of BS 7971 are intended to protect against slash injuries from edged weapons and glass. These gloves are intended to enable operatives to use all the other protective clothing and equipment designed for use in violent situations and in training (e.g. personal defence shields) w
36、ithout removing their gloves. The provision of such dexterity necessitates limitation of the stiffness and thickness of the gloves, and thus limits the protection that can be provided. WARNINGS: Users should ensure that the gloves are compatible with their chosen defence equipment such as batons, in
37、capacitant sprays and handcuffs. The gloves cannot be expected necessarily to protect against stabs and perforations inflicted in direct blows from, for example, sharp knives, spikes or needles, or against injury by chain saws or samurai swords. The gloves cannot be expected to protect against direc
38、t blows by, for example, bricks, bottles, bars, slates or hand held weapons such as metal or wooden bars, bats or poles. The gloves might not protect against burns by burning liquids, flames or hot objects. The gloves cannot be expected to protect against injury from contact with chemicals or biolog
39、ical agents.
