• EN 407:2004

  Gloves with the EN 407:2004 rating are tested for protection against various thermal risks including flammability, contact heat, convective heat, radiant heat, and splashes of molten metal. This means you can choose gloves that offer certified protection against specific heat and fire hazards for your safety.

  Test results

  Burning Behaviour Level 4

  Provides the highest level of protection against catching fire when exposed to a naked flame. After the flame is removed, the material will stop burning within 2 seconds and stop glowing within 5 seconds.

  Molten Metal Resistance Level 2

  Protects against small splashes of molten metal, ideal for tasks like grinding. This material is tested to withstand at least 15 drops of molten metal, helping to prevent burns and ensuring the metal does not stick.

  Metal Splash Resistance Level 4

  Provides the highest level of protection against large splashes of molten metal, tested to resist amounts greater than 200 grams. This makes it essential for high-risk industrial jobs like foundry work and heavy welding.

  Heat Convection Level 2

  Provides moderate protection by delaying heat transfer from an open flame. Ideal for tasks where hands are near, but not touching, a flame, giving you more time to move away safely from the heat source.

  Heat Contact Level 1

  Provides protection when briefly touching hot objects. Certified for contact with surfaces up to 100°C for at least 15 seconds, offering short-term protection against burns from items like hot cookware or machinery parts.

  Radiant Heat Level 1

  Provides Level 1 protection against radiant heat, delaying the transfer of heat from a nearby source for a short time. Ideal for tasks where hands are exposed to heat from a distance, not for direct contact with hot items.

• EN 1149-2:1997

  Protective clothing and gloves with the EN 1149-2:1997 rating are tested for the electrical vertical resistance of their material. This ensures the fabric can safely dissipate static electricity through its thickness, reducing the risk of sparks in flammable environments or damage to sensitive electronic components.

  Test results

  Performance Tested

  This garment's material has been tested to safely dissipate electrostatic charge. It helps prevent sparks by allowing electricity to pass through the fabric, reducing the risk of fire or explosion in sensitive work 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.

  Test results

  Cut Resistance, ISO 13997 Level X

  Provides the highest level of cut protection, passing a specialized test for materials that dull blades.

  Puncture Resistance Level 2

  Withstands moderate force from sharp objects like heavy-duty splinters or wires.

  Cut Resistance, Coup Test Level 1

  Provides minimal protection against cuts from a rotating blade under constant, low force.

  Tear Resistance Level 3

  Offers strong resistance against ripping, making the material durable against snags and tears.

  Abrasion Resistance Level 2

  Withstands moderate rubbing and friction, offering good protection for tasks involving handling rough materials.

• 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.
