What do the different classes of insulating gloves mean?

Insulating gloves are made of rubber, which can be anti-electric, waterproof, acid and alkali resistance, chemical resistance, etc., so as to effectively protect the staff in the store from the electrical insulation. Some people hear class 00 insulating gloves, class 1 insulating gloves and so on, the concept is relatively vague, so let us show you what that means based on EN standard and GB standard.

1.GB/T17622-2008 Insulated gloves for live work

Insulating gloves are divided into five classes according to their electrical properties

Class 0，Apply to 380V and below voltage；

Class 1，Apply to 3KV and below voltage；

Class 2，Apply to 10KV and below voltage；

Class 3，Apply to 20KV and below voltage；

Class 4，Apply to 35KV and below voltage。

2.EN60903-2003 European standard for insulating gloves

European standard insulation gloves are divided into six levels according to their electrical properties

Class 00，Maximum applicable voltage 0.5KV

Class 0，Maximum applicable voltage 1KV

Class 1，Maximum applicable voltage 7.5KV

Class 2，Maximum applicable voltage 17KV

Class 3，Maximum applicable voltage 26.5KV
