ESD is an acronym for electrostatic discharge. This discharge is the rapid transfer of static between two different objects. Although ESD doesn’t typically cause harm to the human body - you might only experience it as a small, surprising shock - it can cause extensive damage to electrical equipment and sensitive instruments. This damage may either be permanent, causing the device to malfunction (known as a catastrophic failure), or it may occur on a smaller scale that would be difficult to detect before the device is sent out for service (known as latent defect).

To attain the EN 374 pictogram shield gloves must pass at least a Level 2 in three chemicals. The chemicals listed above are the chemicals that passed for this glove.
EN 388 is a European Standard. Cut Level is determined by the number of cycles it takes a spinning circular blade, that is pulled across the material under a constant weight of 500 grams, to cut the fabric. As the number of cycles increase, so does the glove's ratings. Click here for more information about the EN 388 2016 standard.

VIRUS
Protective Gloves Against Micro-organisms
The EN ISO 374-5 VIRUS standard measures the ability of gloves to protect users against bacteria, fungi and viruses. Gloves with this marking must pass EN374-2 for leak testing.
Electrostatic Properties
EN 16350 European standard defines the test conditions and requirements for electrostatic properties of protective gloves used in ATEX area (Atmosphere Explosive). The vertical resistance must be below 108 Ω.
