Key Features & Benefits
Medical Grade — AQL 1.5
Manufactured to a medical grade AQL of 1.5 — the internationally recognised quality standard for medical examination gloves. AQL 1.5 means statistically fewer than 1.5 defective gloves per 100 are permitted — providing the level of quality assurance required for clinical, dental, and veterinary examination use where barrier integrity is critical.
UKCA & CE Marked — PPE Regulation (EU) 2016/425 Compliant
Fully UKCA and CE marked in compliance with PPE Regulation (EU) 2016/425 — meeting the mandatory certification requirements for professional PPE use in regulated UK and European environments. Essential for NHS procurement, dental practice compliance, and care home operators requiring documented PPE certification.
EN ISO 374-1:2016 Type B — Chemical & Biological Barrier
Certified to EN ISO 374-1:2016 Type B (KPT) — providing a verified chemical and biological barrier against a broad range of chemicals. Additionally tested to EN 374-2:2014, EN 16523-1:2015, EN 374-4:2013, and EN 420:2003+A1:2009 — ensuring comprehensive compliance across applicable protective glove standards.
Permeation Performance Levels
Independently tested for chemical permeation resistance — achieving the following performance levels to EN ISO 374-1:2016:
- Sodium Hydroxide 40% (K): Level 6 — >480 minutes breakthrough time
- Formaldehyde 37% (T): Level 3 — >60 minutes breakthrough time
- Hydrogen Peroxide 30% (P): Level 1 — >10 minutes breakthrough time
- Nitric Acid 65% (M): Level 1 — >10 minutes breakthrough time
EN ISO 374-5:2016 — Protection Against Microorganisms
Certified to EN ISO 374-5:2016 for protection against bacteria, fungi, and viruses — providing reliable microbiological barrier protection for infection control applications in care homes, dental practices, veterinary clinics, and clinical settings.
Textured Fingertips — Enhanced Grip & Precision
Textured fingertips provide enhanced grip and tactile precision — particularly important for examination, clinical, and dental use where precise handling of instruments, materials, and delicate tissues is required. The textured surface maintains grip reliability even in wet or contaminated conditions.
Beaded Cuff — Easy Donning & Improved Strength
The beaded cuff reinforces the glove opening — improving cuff strength and making donning and removal quick and straightforward, even when wearing other PPE. Reduces the risk of cuff tearing during the donning process in busy clinical environments.
Food Safe — Excluding Acidic Foodstuffs
Certified suitable for food handling environments (tested for 2 hours at 40°C to EU No. 10/2011) — making these gloves a compliant choice for food preparation and handling tasks. Note: not suitable for handling acidic foodstuffs.
5-Year Shelf Life
A 5-year shelf life when stored correctly in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, fluorescent lighting, and X-ray radiation — providing confidence for bulk buyers and procurement teams managing stock levels across busy professional environments.
