ISO 18889: 2019
G1 gloves are suitable when the potential risk is relatively low. Not suitable for use with concentrated pesticide formulations and/or for scenarios where mechanical risks exist (no mechanical test required). G1 gloves are typically single use gloves.
G2 gloves are suitable when the potential risk is higher.
Suitable for use with diluted as well as concentrated pesticides. G2 gloves also meet the minimum mechanical resistance requirements and are therefore suitable for activities that require gloves with minimum mechanical strength. GR gloves provide protection only on the palm-side of the hand. Mechanical tests are required. Such gloves cannot replace G1 or G2 gloves that protect the whole hand. |
