Certification vs Compliance Thursday, 25 September 2025
Unknown to most people, gloves in Australia are almost always sold as compliant to Australian or European Standards. They may show the ‘CE’ mark and mechanical score and symbol like ‘EN388 4542F’ . They may state in their literature ‘Compliant to European Standards’ or ‘meets European Standards’. They may also print AS/NZS 2161.3 on the glove as a way of claiming the glove is standards approved.
