IGA launches new certification and standards program
The industry group aims to end confusion over glove standard ratings with its hand protection certification and standards initiative
Determined to end confusion over glove rating standards, the International Glove Association (IGA) has rolled out a new certification and standards program that will help manufacturers, distributors, and end users determine the correct performance standards for hand protection products.
Four years in the making, the IGA’s Certification and Standards 2012 Initiative Program was born out of the complexity and confusion surrounding glove testing methods, guidelines, and interpretations. These intricacies frequently result in the use of the wrong glove type for specific applications.
