EN ISO 21420:2020 is a revision of the EN420:2003. This new standard retains all the old EN420 requirements with some modifications as follows:
1. No minimum glove length requirement, except if a minimum length is required by the specific use standard (welders, firefighters, etc)
2. Re-usable multi-layer gloves must be taken off without separation of the layers.
3. Different sizing systems can be used if they are explained in the terms of EN ISO 21420:2020. This information would need to be outlined in the user instruction and the technical specification file.
4. This new revision does not imply revising existing EN420:2003 certificates that remain valid until their expiry date.
