Oeko-Tex® Standard 100

The Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 is a globally consistent testing and certification system. The more intense the skin contact of a product, the more stringent the requirements are that it must fulfil: This is why the second highest classification, Class II, applies for safety gloves. Testing is not only in accordance with the legal standard, but also in line with the current state of research. Oeko-Tex® therefore not only sets more stringent values for heavy metals like chromium, nickel and mercury, it also takes into account carcinogenic and allergenic dyestuffs and the use of solvents like formaldehyde. Every year, test methods and lists of pollutants are adjusted to scientific findings.

proDerm

The excellent skin friendliness of many of our safety gloves is dermatologically approved. The safety gloves awarded this quality seal were clinically tested by the proDerm Institute for Applied Dermatological Research GmbH (Hamburg, Germany).

proDerm studies: 11.0356-02, 11.0482-11, 13.0202-02, 15.0188-02, 15.0219-11

Since 1994 proDERM stands for professionalism and scientific expertise. The actions in the field of dermatological contract research are considered both innovative and scientifically rigorous. It is these characteristics, in combination with a stringent testing approach and high minimum requirements, which make the proDERM seal so valuable.

proDERM addresses with the seal manufacturers of high quality products who do not fear an intense test. The following link shows you all uvex safety gloves that have obtained the proDERM quality seal "dermatologically approved".

proDERM has examined the skin tolerability of the hand protective products in different and independent studies. The irritating potential of the products were primarily examined in a 3 x 24 h patch test on 32 subjects and dermatologically assessed. In a following use-test, 20 subjects used the test products during their everyday professional life, 8 hours daily for 2 weeks. Finally, the corresponding skin areas were assessed by a physician. In both studies, the products showed high skin tolerance, which is from now on confirmed by the proDERM quality seal.
