本欧洲标准对于存在或可能存在易燃或易爆区域的防护手套提供了额外要求（见IEC 60079-32-1）。它规定了防静电防护手套的性能，标记和信息的测试方法和要求，以尽量减少爆炸危险。 本欧洲标准不包括: - 保护电子设备; - 防止电源电压; - 用于实际工作的绝缘防护手套（EN 60903）; - 焊工用防护手套（EN 12477）。 在富氧易燃环境中的要求可能不足。 本欧洲标准应适用于适用于手套设计风险的具体标准。 注意静电消散防护手套仅在佩戴者通过低于108℃的电阻接地时才有效

This European Standard provides additional requirements for protective gloves that are worn in areas where flammable or explosive areas exist or might be present (see IEC 60079-32-1). It specifies a test method and requirements for performance, marking and information for electrostatic dissipative protective gloves to minimize explosion risks. This European Standard does not cover: - protection of electronic devices; - protection against mains voltages; - insulative protective gloves for live working (EN 60903); - protective gloves for welders (EN 12477). The requirements may not be sufficient in oxygen enriched flammable atmospheres. This European Standard should be used with the specific standards applicable to the risks for which the glove is designed. NOTE The electrostatic dissipative protective gloves are effective only if the wearer is earthed through a resistance lower than108 Ω.
