1.1 该测试方法用于评估手套如何影响佩戴者抓住坚硬表面物体的能力。 1.1.1 该试验方法建立了测量个人徒手可获得的最大扭矩与戴手套的同一个人可获得的最高扭矩的程序。扭矩施加在连接到扭矩计的垂直安装的杆上。 1.2 该测试方法适用于评估手套和其他形式的手部保护，这些保护要求佩戴者牢牢抓住物体。 1.3 本试验方法并未解决戴手套对手部功能的所有影响。其他测试方法包括评估戴手套对灵活性、触觉和其他功能表现方面的影响的方法。 1.4 测试实验室有责任获得其机构要求的使用人类受试者进行测试所需的必要和适当的批准。 1.5 以国际单位制表示的数值应视为标准。本标准不包括其他计量单位。 1.6 本标准并不旨在解决与其使用相关的所有安全问题（如有）。本标准的使用者有责任在使用前制定适当的安全、健康和环境实践，并确定监管限制的适用性。 1.7 本国际标准是根据世界贸易组织技术性贸易壁垒委员会发布的《关于制定国际标准、指南和建议的原则的决定》中确立的国际公认的标准化原则制定的。 ====意义和用途====== 5.1 该测试方法旨在提供戴手套对个人抓握固体物体和沿规定方向扭转能力的定量测量。如果在相反的方向上扭曲，或者如果在抓握时推动或拉动固体物体，抓握性能可能会不同。 5.2 这种方法最初是为了帮助理解消防手套的材料和结构是如何影响抓握的。当时可用的方法显示，各种手套之间的统计差异很小，包括许多符合NFPA 1971标准的消防手套和其他应用中使用的不符合标准的手套。与之前的测试相比，这种方法的受试者变异性更小，测量握力范围更大。 4. 5.3 2022年，使用两种不同的非消防防护手套和更大的样本量进行了进一步的研究。研究表明，该测试方法可成功应用于除结构消防外的多种手套类型。 5. 有关测试方法的主要发现已包含在标准中。 5.4 本试验方法仅用于评估干式防护手套的抓握性能。 5.5 本试验方法不区分手套对佩戴者手部功能的所有影响，也不适用于所有手套类型和应用。考虑代表手套使用应用的其他评估或测试，以确定手套对佩戴者手部功能的总体影响。

1.1 This test method is used for evaluating how gloves affect an individual wearer’s ability to grip onto a hard surface object. 1.1.1 This test method establishes procedures for measuring the maximum torque that can be attained by an individual’s bare hand as compared to the maximum torque that is attained by the same individual wearing a glove. The torque is applied to a vertically mounted pole attached to a torque meter. 1.2 This test method is suitable for evaluating gloves and other forms of hand protection that require the wearer to maintain a secure hold on objects. 1.3 This test method does not address all effects of wearing gloves on hand functions. Other test methods include those for evaluating the effect of wearing gloves on dexterity, tactility, and other aspects of functional performance. 1.4 It is the responsibility of the test laboratory to obtain the necessary and appropriate approval(s) required by their institution for conducting tests using human subjects. 1.5 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard. 1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. 1.7 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee. ====== Significance And Use ====== 5.1 This test method is intended to provide a quantitative measurement of wearing gloves on an individual’s ability to grip a solid object and twist in a defined direction. The gripping performance may be different if twisted in the opposing direction or if pushing or pulling on a solid object while gripping. 5.2 This method was originally developed to help understand how materials and construction of firefighting gloves affected grip. Methods available at the time showed very little statistical difference between a wide range of gloves, including many NFPA 1971 compliant firefighting gloves and also non-compliant gloves used in other applications. This method was shown to have less subject-to-subject variability and a greater range of measured grip than previous tests. 4 5.3 Further research was conducted in 2022 using two disparate, non-firefighting protective gloves and a larger sample size. The research showed that the test method could be used successfully on a variety of glove types other than structural firefighting. 5 Key findings about the testing methodology have been included in the standard. 5.4 This test method is for evaluating the gripping performance of dry protective gloves only. 5.5 This test method does not discriminate all glove effects on wearer hand function, nor does it apply to all glove types and applications. Consider additional evaluations or tests representative of the glove use applications performed to determine the overall impact of gloves on wearer hand functions.
