Standards, Certifications & Class Approval

Review the available standards and approval information relevant to the product. Actual certification, material traceability, inspection and classification requirements depend on the product type, intended application and purchasing specification.

Applicable Standards & Certification	Relevant standards include EN ISO 21420 for protective gloves, EN 12477 for protective gloves for welders, EN 407 for thermal risks, EN 388 for mechanical risks, and ANSI/ISEA 105 where applicable. Certification depends on the exact glove model.
Class Approval	Welding gloves are generally personal protective equipment and are not normally type-approved by DNV, ABS, Lloyd's Register, BV or ClassNK. Use gloves carrying valid manufacturer conformity and applicable PPE certification.

Installation, Maintenance & Safety Information

Installation Notes	Select the correct size and welding category for the task. Inspect gloves before use, ensure cuffs cover the wrist and overlap protective clothing, and keep gloves dry and free from oil or chemicals.
Maintenance Tips	Do not wash or reuse gloves contrary to the manufacturer's instructions. Remove metal particles and dust, air-dry away from direct heat, and replace gloves with burned, hardened, torn or heavily contaminated leather.
Safety Notes	Welding gloves do not provide protection from electric shock, prolonged immersion in molten metal, chemicals or all arc-radiation hazards. Wear them with a welding helmet, flame-resistant clothing and suitable eye, respiratory and hearing protection.
