According to Regulation 1935/2004: The materials and articles must be manufactured in accordance with good manufacturing practices so that, under normal or foreseeable conditions for their use, they do not transfer their constituents to food in quantities which could: • Present a danger to human health • Result in an unacceptable change in the composition of the foodstuffs or a deterioration in the organoleptic characteristics thereof. ’ All Gloves with the ’food contact’ logo are conform to Regulation (EU) No. 1935/2004, the Regulation (EU) No. 2023/2006, and Regulation (EU) No. 11/2011. ELECTROSTATIC DISCHARGE (ESD) IEC 61340-5-1 IEC 61340-4-3 ESD stands for electrostatic discharge. Products that are marked ESD meet current criteria and standards for ESD protection. The ESD approval must not be confused with electrical safety properties. If work is to be performed close to live voltages, requirements according to national regulations shall be obeyed. If ESD gloves and footwear are to work satisfactorily, both personal equipment and the workplace must be conductive. TEST METHOD The International Standard IEC 61340-5-1 is used to ensure that an ESD glove is capable of handling the resistance requirements of the system, which means that the resistance from operator to ground is less than 10⁹ Ω. The test is performed at 12% humidity. Shoes are tested in accordance with the standard IEC 61340-4-3 which ensures that the shoes have a resistance to ground of less than 108 Ω. EN 407:2004 Protection against Thermal Risks Gloves marked with this pictogram give protection against one or more of the thermal risks. Glove performance has been tested in terms of the following risks: • Resistance to burning behavior • Contact heat resistance • Convective heat resistance • Radiant heat resistance • Resistance to small splashes of molten metal • Resistance to large quantities of molten metal
