EN 455
EN 455 gloves are disposable gloves that meet the European standard for medical use, ensuring they are suitable for applications requiring a high level of hygiene, safety, and performance. This standard is essential for gloves used in healthcare, clinical, and hygiene-sensitive environments, including settings aligned with NHS requirements.
The EN 455 standard covers multiple aspects of glove quality, including freedom from holes, physical strength, biological safety, and shelf life. Gloves that meet EN 455 are designed to provide reliable protection against contamination while maintaining comfort, flexibility, and tactile sensitivity.
Typically available in nitrile, latex, and vinyl, EN 455 certified gloves are widely used in medical, dental, care, cleaning, and food preparation environments, where consistent performance and hygiene are critical.
