Standards and labels

• EN 511:2006

  Test results

  Convective Cold Level X

  This product was not tested for protection against convective cold, which is the cold air in the environment. For this reason, it is not recommended for use in windy or drafty cold conditions where insulation from the air is needed.

  Water Tightness Level X

  This product was not tested for water penetration resistance. It may not protect your hands from getting wet and could lose its insulating properties in damp or snowy conditions, so it is best for use in dry cold environments.

• EN 388:2016

  Protective gloves with the EN 388:2016 rating are tested for resistance against mechanical risks like abrasion, cuts, tears, punctures, and optional impact. This rating helps you quickly identify and choose gloves that offer the right level of protection for your hands during various tasks.

• PPE Category 2

  PPE stands for "personal protective equipment." PPE Category 2 refers to equipment that is more complex, and has a higher level of risk. Examples of PPE Category 2 include safety helmets, ear protection, and fall arrest equipment. In Europe, PPE Category 2 must meet certain safety standards set by the European Union, which means that it must be designed and manufactured to protect the user without causing harm. Companies that make or sell PPE must prove that it meets these standards. They also must have a quality management system in place and have to be audited regularly by a notified body.
