Why Should I Trust the Polyco Gloves for Virus Protection?

The Polyco Gloves have been certified to a range of different standards, each ensuring that they can protect against different hazards. These are as follows:

EN 374 - Resistance to Penetration by Chemical and Micro-Organisms

The Polyco GL890 Blue Nitrile Disposable Gloves have demonstrated reliable resistance to chemical penetration in testing, making them suitable for use in medical contamination environments.

EN 455 - Single Use Medical Glove Approved

The Polyco GL890 Blue Nitrile Disposable Gloves have been tested in accordance with European Standards and have been approved for use as a single use medical glove. 

AQL Rating - 1.5

This means that there is a statistical probability that 1.5% of any tested batch of the Polyco GL890 Blue Nitrile Disposable Gloves could have pinhole defects. This is an exacting standard only achieved by the best quality disposable gloves. 

What Does This Mean?

These standards mean that you can use these gloves to protect against bacteria, viruses and it means that you can use them safely in a medical environment. The AQL rating means that the gloves aren't likely to let liquid through, helping to improve the contamination risk.

Which Size Should I Choose?

In order to select the correct size of safety glove, simply measure across your palm at the point indicated in the picture. Then compare your measurement with the chart below to ensure that you select the correct size of glove for your hand. We would recommend using a tape measure or ruler to get the right measurement. Our measurements are based on centimetres. Where your measurement falls on the boundary of two sizes, we would recommend selecting the larger of the two sizes for a comfortable fit. However, if you would specifically like your gloves to be a closer fit, perhaps for work that requires fine movements, select the smaller of the two sizes.

How Strong Are the Polyco Gloves?

Nitrile provides a tough glove with high tensile strength that maintains a soft and pliable feel. A beaded cuff provides additional strength and prevents liquid roll back.

How Grippy Are the Disposable Gloves?

The Polyco GL890 Gloves boast an excellent grip thanks to textured fingertips, allowing for reliable handling of objects and instruments in medical environments.

What Are the Polyco Gloves for Virus Protection Made From?

The Polyco GL890 Disposable Gloves are powder-free, minimising particulate contamination where product protection is of paramount importance, such as in sensitive medical environments. In addition, thanks to their nitrile construction, they are latex-free, eliminating negative effects on patients and clinicians who are allergic to latex.

What is EN 374?

You might have noticed that this product adheres to EN standard EN 374. EN standards ensure that the product you are buying meets the safety standards of the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), the highest standards organisation recognised by and working on behalf of the European Union. To pass any EN standard, a PPE product must undergo some of the most rigorous safety tests around.

There are many EN standards that our gloves adhere to. However, the EN standard that we're concerned about here is EN 374. EN 374 stands for Protective Gloves Against Chemicals, and informs you of your gloves' resistance to chemicals and micro-organisms.

How Do I Read the EN 374 Score?

Understanding EN 374 takes a little but more effort than with other standards as it comes with different letters, numbers and symbols that represent different levels of protection against different types of chemicals. Some of the different things you may see include:

• Symbol: Corresponds to the test that the products were subjected to
• Type: Corresponds to how many chemicals the product was tested against
• Letter: Corresponds to which chemicals the product was tested against
• Number: Corresponds to how long the product can withstand the chemical

Where Can I Find Out More?

We try our best to make it clear in the copy which chemicals the product can withstand. However, if it isn't clear or if you'd like to know a bit more, you can see the Introductory EN 374 Blog in our Knowledge Centre.
