What is the EN 16350 Standard for Anti-Electrostatic Gloves?

The EN 16350 standard is the European regulation that specifies requirements for anti-electrostatic (ESD) gloves, ensuring they provide safe electrostatic discharge in hazardous environments. It is particularly important for workplaces where electrostatic discharge can cause fires, explosions, or damage to sensitive electronics.

Anti Electrostatic Gloves

Key Features of EN 16350-Certified Gloves

Gloves that meet the EN 16350 standard must have:

Electrostatic Resistance ≤ 10⁸ Ω – This ensures that the gloves effectively dissipate static charges to prevent sparks.
Tested According to EN 1149-2 – Ensures gloves have proper surface resistivity and can safely discharge static electricity.
Safe for Explosive Environments (ATEX Zones) – Suitable for flammable or explosive atmospheres (e.g., chemical plants, refineries).
Consistent Electrostatic Performance – Must maintain ESD properties even in humid or dry conditions.

Where Are EN 16350 Gloves Used?

EN 16350-certified gloves are essential in industries where electrostatic discharge (ESD) can pose serious risks, including:

Oil & Gas Industry – Prevents sparks in refineries and chemical plants.
Pharmaceutical & Chemical Labs – Ensures static-free handling of flammable chemicals.
Automotive & Aerospace – Protects sensitive electronic components and sensors.
Electronics & Semiconductor Manufacturing – Prevents static damage to PCBs and microchips.
Explosive Atmospheres (ATEX Zones) – Safe for fuel handling, mining, and manufacturing environments.

Difference Between EN 16350 & Other ESD Standards

EN 16350 – Specifically for gloves, ensuring safe electrostatic discharge in hazardous environments.
EN 1149 – Covers clothing and gloves, focusing on anti-static performance and charge dissipation.
IEC 61340-5-1 – Global ESD standard used for electronics and cleanrooms.

Why Choose EN 16350-Certified Gloves?

✔️ Protects workers in explosive and flammable environments
✔️ Prevents damage to sensitive electronics
✔️ Meets industry safety regulations (ATEX, ESD, IEC standards)
✔️ Essential for workplaces where static control is critical

If you're working in an ATEX Zone or handling static-sensitive equipment, EN 16350 gloves are a must-have for safety and compliance!
