• EN 407:2020

  Gloves and other hand protective equipment with the EN 407:2020 rating are tested for protection against heat and/or fire, including resistance to flames, contact heat, convective heat, radiant heat, and splashes of molten metal. This means you can choose products with specific protection levels to safely handle hot items, work near flames, or in environments with thermal risks.

  Test results

  Molten Metal Resistance Level X

  This product was not tested for resistance against molten metal splashes under the EN 407 standard. Therefore, it is not intended for use in activities like welding or foundry work where this specific hazard is present.

  Heat Contact Level 2

  Protects your hands when briefly handling hot objects up to 250°C. This allows you to hold an item at this temperature for at least 15 seconds, ideal for tasks like handling hot pots or equipment.

  Burning Behaviour Level X

  This product was not tested for its resistance to open flames or burning behavior under the EN 407 standard. Therefore, it does not claim to offer protection against fire and should be kept away from naked flames.

  Heat Convection Level X

  This product has not been tested for protection against convective heat, which is the transfer of heat through moving air or fluids. Therefore, no specific performance level for delaying heat transfer from a flame is claimed.

  Radiant Heat Level X

  This product has not been tested for protection against radiant heat, the invisible heat felt from a distance like near a furnace. Therefore, it does not have a certified performance level for this specific type of intense heat hazard.

  Metal Splash Resistance Level X

  This product has not been tested for resistance against splashes of molten metal under the EN 407 standard. It is not intended for use in activities like welding or foundry work where this specific protection is required.

• 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.
