Rank: New forum user		A supplier recentaly provided a sample of Nitrile Gloves with a Manufactured date 06/2024 expiry date of 06/2027 with a EN374:2003 rating. Would this testing rating be vaild on gloves manufactured in 2024? I found the same gloves online here and the manufature date, expiry date and lot no match the sample i have. https://www.millscountrystore.com/products/tuffgrip?srsltid=AfmBOoobbzW4b6L_FMzb49CJ7oLH3OMr6wwqRW7_hPbjgirAvLv2SE-y

Rank: Super forum user		EN 374:2003 is outdated – It was replaced by EN ISO 374-1:2016 and EN ISO 374-5:2016 for chemical and microorganism protection. Gloves manufactured in 2024 should comply with the latest standards – The manufacturer should be certifying gloves according to the current applicable standard, which is the 2016 version. That said: If the gloves were truly tested under EN ISO 374-1:2016 but just labeled with EN 374:2003 due to packaging issues, they may still be valid. If they were only tested under the outdated EN 374:2003 standard, they technically do not meet current compliance for new gloves manufactured in 2024.
