ISO 10819 Anti Vibration Glove Testing
The ISO 10819 standard provides a framework for assessing the vibration protection offered by anti-vibration gloves. This service is crucial in industrial manufacturing and processing where workers are exposed to hand-transmitted vibrations that can lead to disorders such as Hand-Arm Vibrations Syndrome (HAVS). In factories, compliance with this standard ensures worker safety and occupational health.
The testing process involves several stages. First, the specimen gloves must be prepared according to ISO 10819 guidelines. This includes ensuring the gloves are clean and free from defects that could affect test results. The specimens are then subjected to a series of tests designed to simulate real-world conditions in industrial settings.
One key aspect of the testing is the measurement of vibration attenuation provided by different glove types when worn during various tasks. Vibration levels are measured using accelerometers attached to the hand, which provide data on the magnitude and frequency of vibrations transmitted through the gloves. The results from these tests allow for an accurate comparison of glove performance.
The ISO 10819 standard defines specific acceptance criteria that must be met by anti-vibration gloves to pass testing. These include attenuation levels at different frequencies, which are critical in preventing HAVS. Compliance with the standard ensures that workers are protected against harmful vibrations, thereby enhancing productivity and reducing work-related injuries.
Eurolab's expertise lies in providing comprehensive solutions for occupational health and safety testing across various industries. Our state-of-the-art facilities ensure precise measurement and reliable results. We use advanced instrumentation to conduct these tests, including accelerometers and other specialized equipment necessary for accurate data collection.
| Test Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Vibration Attenuation | The reduction in vibration levels transmitted through the glove. Measured at specific frequencies to ensure effective protection. |
| Glove Fit and Comfort | Assesses how well the gloves fit the hand and remain comfortable during prolonged use, which is crucial for compliance with ISO 10819. |
In addition to vibration attenuation testing, Eurolab also performs other related tests that contribute to overall worker safety. These include ensuring proper fit and comfort of the gloves, which are critical factors in determining their effectiveness. Comfortable gloves lead to better compliance among workers, further enhancing occupational health and safety.
The importance of this service cannot be overstated. By adhering to ISO 10819 standards, industries can protect their workforce from potential hazards associated with hand-transmitted vibrations. This not only contributes to improved worker well-being but also helps in maintaining a safe and productive work environment.

Use Cases and Application Examples
| Industry Sector | Application Example |
|---|---|
| Automotive Manufacturing | Testing gloves used in assembly lines to prevent HAVS among workers. |
| Construction Industry | Evaluating the effectiveness of anti-vibration gloves for operators handling heavy machinery. |
| Electrical and Electronics | Assessing protection provided by gloves used in sensitive electronic component assembly. |
The ISO 10819 standard is particularly applicable to industries where workers are frequently exposed to hand-transmitted vibrations. By conducting these tests, businesses can ensure that their employees are protected against potential health risks associated with such exposure.
For instance, in the automotive manufacturing sector, gloves used during assembly processes need to be tested for their ability to reduce vibration transmission effectively. This ensures that workers do not suffer from HAVS due to prolonged use of tools and machinery. Similarly, in the construction industry, operators handling heavy machinery benefit significantly from wearing properly tested anti-vibration gloves.
In the electrical and electronics sector, testing is essential for assessing the protection provided by gloves used in sensitive component assembly. This helps prevent damage to delicate components while ensuring worker safety.
