REGELTEX INSULATED GLOVES are designed to protect against electric shock. The gloves are made of insulating materials and are tested in accordance with the international standard IEC 60903:2014 and the European standard EN 60903:2003. REGELTEX INSULATED GLOVES are available in four classes. Description Insulating rubber gloves available in all classes, many sizes, different lengths and colors. Leather protectors are recommended to be worn over Electrovolt gloves to ensure mechanical protection (local regulations, work practices and risk analysis apply). Standard EN 60903:2003 - IEC 60903:2014 PPE Category III (Reg. EU 2016/425) ADVANTAGES The natural rubber provides high dielectric protection. The ergonomic shape and lightly powdered interior make the Electrovolt gloves easy for donning and doffing. Mechanical Requirements (sampling test) • Average tensile strength : ≥ 16 MPa • Average elongation at break : ≥ 600% • Puncture resistance : ≥ 18N/mm • Tension set : ≤ 15 % Ageing Requirements • Conditioning of the gloves in an air oven at 70 ± 2 °C for 168 hours : • The elongation at break values must be at least equal to 80% of those of non conditioned gloves. • The tension set must not exceed 15%. • The gloves must pass the proof test voltage and withstand test voltage Thermal Requirements (sampling test) • Resistance to low temperature: Conditioning of gloves for 1 hour at -25 ± 3°C. The tests are satisfactory if no tearing, breaking or cracking after folding is visible on the cuff and if the gloves pass the proof test voltage and withstand test voltage. • Flame retardancy test: Application of a flame for 10 seconds at a finger tip. The test is satisfactory if, after 55 seconds, the flame has not reached the marker located 55mm away at the other end. Special Properties (sampling test) • Resistance to acid : conditioning of gloves by immersion for 8 hours at 23 ± 2 °C in a sulphuric acid solution at 32°C. The tensile strength and elongation at break values must be at least equal to 75% of those of non-conditioned gloves. The gloves must pass the proof test voltage and withstand test voltage. • Resistance to oil : conditioning by immersion in oil (Iiquid 102) for 24 hr at 70 ± 2 °C. The tensile strength and elongation at break values must be at least equal to 50% of those of non-conditioned gloves. The gloves must pass the proof test voltage and withstand test voltage. • Resistance to ozone :conditioning of gloves in a chamber for 3 hours at 40 ± 2°C and in a 1 mg/m3 ozone concentration. The gloves must not present any cracking. The gloves must pass the proof test voltage and withstand test voltage. • Resistance to very low temperatures : conditioning of gloves for 24 hours at -40 ± 3°C. The tests are satisfactory if no tearing, breaking or cracking after folding is visible on the cuff and if the gloves pass the proof test voltage and withstand test voltage. Electrical Requirements • Electrical insulation depending on the class • Recommended to be used in conjunction with leather over gloves for mechanical protection Class VOLTAGE RECOMMENDED AC (MAX) VOLTAGE RECOMMENDED DC (MAX) • Class 00 - 500 V - 750 V • Class 0 - 1000 V - 1500 V • Class 1 - 7500 V - 11250 V • Class 2 - 17000 V - 25500 V • Class 3 - 26500 V - 39750 V • Class 4 - 36000 V - 54000 V

1. ln the choice of class, it is important to define the network nominal voltage which must not exceed the maximum operating voltage. For multiphase networks, the network nominal voltage is the voltage between phases.
2. The test voltage is the one applied to gloves during the individual routine tests.
3. The withstand voltage is the one applied during the validation tests after the gloves have been conditioned for 16 hours in water and after a 3-minutes test at the proof voltage.
