DIN EN 455-2 — Medical Gloves for Single Use (Physical Properties)

← Back to all standards

DIN EN 455-2 is the German adoption of EN 455-2, the standard for the physical properties of single-use medical gloves. To match this to your program, talk with our team.

What DIN EN 455-2 Covers

It defines the tensile and related physical requirements for surgical and examination gloves under the German designation of the European standard.

How the Test Is Run

Glove specimens are cut to a dumbbell shape and pulled to failure, and the force at break, before and after ageing, is checked against the requirements.

Why It Matters

Glove tensile performance supports barrier integrity; low-force grips and sensitive measurement suited to thin elastomer are essential.
