International authorities discuss relevant issues from different areas, including directives and regulations concerning the use and safety requirements for protective gloves in Europe and the U.S., standard quality control test methods, testing of protective effect in vivo with animals, and clinical diagnostic testing in patients. The advantages and disadvantages of glove use are also highlighted in this excellent text.

Side effects, however, can be caused by certain glove materials, and these have to be compared to the risk of local skin damage caused by exposure to hazardous materials from Sweden and the US.
