Watch strap usage simulation
Simulate all situations of use associated with the use of a watch strap: pulling, twisting, strap sliding into loop, pin insertion into strap, exposure to perspiration, rubbing of strap against clothing, etc. Observe any damage to the tested watchband (abrasion, elongation, loss of color). LeathergoodsPerformanceExpertise Tear resistance
During use, gloves can be subject to tearing constraints. The purpose of the test is to verify the level of performance concerning the tear resistance of the glove. GlovesMechanical risk / PEEEN 388 §6.4 Large molten metal splashes
This method is used to assess the resistance of materials to large splashes of liquid metal. GlovesPEE / Thermal riskEN 407 § 4.5.7 Small molten metal splashes
This method quantifies thermal insulation against small splashes of molten metal falling on a glove. GlovesPEE / Thermal riskEN 407 § 4.5.6 Radiant heat
This method quantifies thermal insulation against radiant heat by calculating a specific index. GlovesPEE / Thermal riskEN 407 § 4.5.5 Convective heat
This method enables the quantification of thermal insulation in relation to convective heat through the calculation of a specific index. GlovesPEE / Thermal riskEN 407 § 4.5.4 Heat contact
This method enables the assessment of thermal insulation by contact with a complex of material making up an article. GlovesPEE / Thermal risk EN 407 § 4.5.3 Behavior in fire
This method can be used to assess the flame behavior of gloves. GlovesPEE / Thermal riskEN 407 § 4.5.2 Shock attenuation measurement
Joints must be protected from impact during use. GlovesMechanical risk / PEEEN 388 §6.6 Puncture resistanceCut resistance (TDM)
When used, gloves can be subject to cutting constraints. The purpose of the test is to check the material against the criterion. GlovesMechanical risk / PEEEN 388 §6.3 Puncture resistance
During use, gloves can be subject to puncture constraints. The objective of the test is to check the level of performance of the glove against the criterion. GlovesMechanical risk / PEEEN 388 §6.5 Slicing resistance (test cut)
During use, the gloves may be subject to cutting constraints. The aim of this test is to check the performance level of the glove on this criterion. GlovesMechanical risk / PEEEN 388 §6.2 Abrasion resistance
During use, gloves can be subject to abrasion constraints. The objective of the test is to verify the level of performance against the criterion. GlovesMechanical risk / PEEEN 388 §6.1 Water resistance of glove materials
This test permits to measure the resistance of glove material to water penetration. Time of penetration is used to determine the performances. GlovesPEEEN 420 §4.2 Determining the water vapour absorption of leathers
In order to provide good comfort, especially when the protection characteristic of the glove inhibits or excludes vapour transmission, it is possible to check the potential water vapour absorption. GlovesPEEEN ISO 21420 § 5.3.2
