The PPE regulations classify products and hazards into three Risk Categories, Minimal (category I), Intermediate (category II) and High (category III). Handling operations and products can be classed in any one of these categories. Below are some
definitions for deciding how PPE should be classified.

Risk encountered in the handling of hot components not exceeding 50¡æ. Minor impacts which do not cause irreversible lesions. Cleaning materials of weak action (diluted detergent solutions). No third party test carried out. Product self certified by manufacturer.

Intermediate Risk - Category II

This is where the majority of gloves will be classified unless they are specifically mentioned in the Minimal or High Risk categories. Most general handling gloves to be used in mechanical hazards where there is no risk of irreversible damage. Third party testing carried out by NAMAS approved test house.

High Risk - Category III

Hazards that put the wearer in mortal danger or dangers that may seriously and irreversibly harm the health. Gloves for use in environments where there are temperatures in excess of 100¡æ, infrared radiation, flames or molten metal splash (Foundres and welding etc.). Chemical Resistant gloves. Third party testing carried out by an NAMAS approved test house. Continuous third party quality assurance monitoring carried out by an NACCB approved body under an ISO9002 quality system.
