EN 407:2004 (E) 3 Foreword This document (EN 407:2004) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 162 “Protective clothing including hand and arm protection and lifejackets”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by March 2005, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by March 2005. This document supersedes EN 407:1994. This document includes a Bibliography. This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s). For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document. According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom.



EN 407:2004 (E) 4 1 Scope
This document specifies requirements, test methods, information to be supplied and marking for protective gloves against heat and/or fire. It should 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 heat, small splashes or large quantities of molten metal. This standard is only applicable in conjunction with EN420. There are other standards relevant to specific applications, as for example fire-fighting or welding. Product tests may only give performance levels and not protection levels. 2 Normative references 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 any amendments) applies.

For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 after flame time time in seconds from the removal of the ignition source until the extinction of the flame in the test specimen 3.2 after glow time time in seconds from the 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 liquefaction of the material under the influence of heat

4.1 General The protective gloves according to this standard shall meet all the applicable requirements of EN 420. 4.2 Sizes
The gloves shall correspond to the relevant requirements of EN 420. Unless otherwise requested, protective gloves of performance levels 3 and 4 in all tests described in 5.1 to 5.6. shall be manufactured so that they can easily be removed in case of emergency. There is no test method for industrial protective gloves. Annex B gives an example of a test method and requirement applicable to fire-fighters gloves. 4.3 Abrasion
Using the test method 6.1 the material of the protective gloves shall correspond to at least performance level 1 of th
