Key Requirements of EN 16350
EN 16350 is the European standard specifying requirements for protective gloves against electrostatic discharge (esd) risks. It ensures safe static dissipation through the following criteria:
1. SURFACE RESISTANCE:
Maintained between 10⁶ Ω and 10¹¹ Ω (prevents charge accumulation while avoiding conductive hazards).
2. POINT-TO-POINT RESISTANCE:
≤10⁹ Ω (guarantees uniform charge dissipation in Electrostatic Protected Areas, EPAs).
3. DURABILITY:
Compliance retained after 50 standardized washing cycles.
