Why Electrical Insulating Gloves Must Be Tested Every 6 Months
Passion Safety China electrical insulating gloves are tested every 6 months to ensure safety and maintain dielectric performance.
1. Material aging
Rubber and latex materials degrade over time due to ozone, UV, heat, and humidity.
This can cause hardening, cracking, and reduced insulation strength.
2. Mechanical damage
Daily use may cause abrasion, stretching, punctures, or thinning.
These defects are often not visible but can reduce protection.
3. Contamination
Oil, sweat, moisture, dust, and chemicals may affect the glove surface or penetrate the material.
This can lower insulation resistance and increase leakage current.
4. Safety verification
A 6-month interval test helps detect performance degradation early.
Dielectric testing ensures gloves still meet required safety voltage levels before reuse.
