Chemical Protection Requires Substance-Specific Selection
Ansell lists EN ISO 374-1:2016 Type A with code AJKLMNOPT. The classification reflects testing against specified chemicals; it does not establish protection against every solvent, acid, mixture or concentration. Check the manufacturer's chemical permeation data for the exact substance, temperature and expected exposure before selecting this glove.
Laboratory breakthrough time is not a guaranteed safe wearing time. Establish replacement procedures through your workplace assessment, including exposure duration, repeated contact and glove condition. Compare chemical resistant gloves when a different barrier material or cuff length is needed.
Cut Resistance and Inspection
ANSI A3 and EN 388 cut level C describe tested resistance to cutting. They do not make the glove cut-proof. ANSI abrasion Level 5 describes abrasion performance, not a guaranteed service life. The high-visibility liner can help expose cuts through the coating, but it is not a chemical breakthrough indicator.
Inspect before each use for holes, tears, swelling, stiffness or contamination. Follow Ansell's instructions for use and your facility's removal procedures. Do not assume an intact-looking glove remains suitable after chemical exposure. Keep chemicals from entering the cuff.
OSHA Hand Protection Requirements
OSHA 29 CFR 1910.138 requires appropriate hand protection where hazards exist. Employers must select gloves based on performance, tasks, conditions and duration of use. These requirements guide workplace selection; OSHA does not approve this glove.
Choose a size that allows comfortable finger movement without excess material at the fingertips. Check grip using representative tools and components before routine work. Coordinate glove and sleeve overlap with the protective clothing selected for the task. Reassess selection whenever the chemical, process temperature or handling method changes, even when the replacement glove carries the same model number.
