Specifies a method for the determination of resistance of protective glove materials to permeation by potentially hazardous non-gaseous chemicals under conditions of continuous contact. This Standard is identical with and has been reproduced from EN 374-3:1994.

This standard covers the determination of the resistance of protective glove materials to permeation by potentially hazardous non-gaseous chemicals under the condition of continuous contact. It is emphasized that the test does not represent conditions likely to be found in service, and the use of test data should be restricted to comparing materials chiefly on a relative basis in broad categories of breakthrough times.
