The use of the term glove in BS IEC 61942 only includes gloves and mitts. The gloves are intended to be used for working live or close to live parts at nominal voltages up to 7 500 V a.c. or 11 250 V d.c. Three classes of gloves, differing in electrical characteristics, are provided and are designated class 00, class 0, class 1 (see annex D). Five categories of gloves, differing in properties related to acid, oil, ozone, and a combination of all are provided and designated categories A, H, Z, and P respectively, and also the extremely low temperature is designated as category C.
