Insulating Gloves for Electrical Works |
|
|
 |
REGELTEX full range of insulating
gloves for live working complies with the specifications of the European
standard EN 60903:2003 and the international standard
IEC 60903:2002.
Likewise, our production is subjected to a system for ensuring EC
quality of production by means of monitoring to implement article 11b of the
89/686/EEC directive relating to Personal Protective Equipment which classifies
insulating gloves for live working in category III (mortal risks). |

- ln the choice of class, it is important to define the network
nominal voltage which must not exceed the maximum operating voltage. For
multiphase networks, the network nominal voltage is the voltage between phases.
- The test voltage is the one applied to gloves during the
individual routine tests.
- The withstand voltage is the one applied during the validation
tests after the gloves have been conditioned for 16 hours in water and after a
3-minutes test at the proof voltage.
|
|
Mechanical Requirements (Sampling Test) |
|
|
- Average tensile strength : ≥ 16 MPa
- Average elongation at break : ≥ 600%
- Puncture resistance : ≥ 18N/mm
- Tension set : ≤ 15 %
|
|
|
|
Ageing Requirements (Sampling Test) |
|
|
|
Conditioning of the gloves in an air oven at 70 ± 2 °C for 168 hours :
- The elongation at break values must be at least equal to 80% of those of non
conditioned gloves.
- The tension set must not exceed 15%.
- The gloves must pass the proof test voltage and withstand test voltage.
|
|
|
|
Thermal Requirements (Sampling Test) |
|
|
- Resistance to low temperature :
conditioning of gloves for 1 hour at -25 ± 3°C. The tests
are satisfactory if no tearing, breaking or cracking after folding is visible on
the cuff and if the gloves pass the proof test voltage and withstand test
voltage.
- Flame retardancy test :
Application of a flame for 10 seconds at a finger tip.
The test is satisfactory if, after 55 seconds, the flame
has not reached the marker located 55mm away at the other end.
|
|
|
|
Special Properties (Sampling Test) |
|
|
- Resistance to acid :
Conditioning of gloves by immersion for 8 hours at 23 ± 2
°C in a sulphuric acid solution at 32° Baume
• The tensile strength and elongation at break values must
be at least equal to 75% of those of non-conditioned gloves.
• The gloves must pass the proof test voltage and
withstand test voltage.
- Resistance to oil :
Conditioning by immersion in oil (Iiquid 102) for 24 hr at
70 ± 2 °C
• The tensile strength and elongation at break values must
be at least equal to 50% of those of non-conditioned gloves.
• The gloves must pass the proof test voltage and
withstand test voltage.
- Resistance to ozone :
Conditioning of gloves in a chamber for 3 hours at 40 ±
2°C and in a 1 mg/m3 ozone concentration
• The gloves must not present any cracking
• The gloves must pass the proof test voltage and
withstand test voltage.
- Resistance to very low temperatures :
Conditioning of gloves for 24 hours at -40 ± 3°C
The tests are satisfactory if no tearing, breaking or
cracking after folding is visible on the cuff and if the gloves pass the proof
test voltage and withstand test voltage.

Packaging |
|
|
Each pair of gloves is packaged in a different coloured opaque sachet depending
on its class of protection.
The following information is given on the packaging : class, size, categories,
type of cuff, length, test date, manufacture batch number and validation batch
number. |
