  Test results

  Puncture Resistance Level 1

  Provides basic protection against punctures from blunt objects like splinters, not sharp points like needles.

  Tear Resistance Level 2

  Offers moderate resistance against snagging or catching on rough objects, preventing small rips from growing.

  Cut Resistance, ISO 13997 Level D

  Offers strong protection against cuts from utility knives, glass edges, and sheet metal.

  Abrasion Resistance Level 4

  Offers the highest level of protection against intense rubbing and wear from rough materials.

• 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

  Heat Convection Level X

  This product was not tested for protection against convective heat, which is the transfer of heat through moving air, such as from a flame. Therefore, it has no claimed performance level for this specific thermal risk.

  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.

  Burning Behaviour Level X

  This product has not been tested for its performance when exposed to an open flame. It is not rated for fire resistance and should not be used for protection against direct contact with flames.

  Molten Metal Resistance Level X

  This product has not been tested for resistance against splashes of molten metal. It provides no claimed protection and should not be used for welding, foundry work, or other tasks with molten metal risks.

  Metal Splash Resistance Level X

  This product has not been tested for resistance against splashes of molten metal under the EN 407 standard. It does not offer rated protection for tasks where this is a risk, such as welding.

  Radiant Heat Level X

  This product was not tested for protection against radiant heat, which is intense heat that can be felt from a distance. It does not claim to offer protection for tasks involving prolonged exposure to radiant heat sources.

• PPE Category 3

  PPE stands for "personal protective equipment." PPE Category 3 refers to equipment that is complex and provide the highest level of protection such as powered respirators, SCBA, and full body suits. In Europe, PPE Category 3 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, have to be audited regularly by a notified body and have to have a technical documentation.

• Ecovadis

  Ecovadis rating and certification system is used in Europe to evaluate and recognize companies' sustainability performance. It is focused on the supply chain and evaluates companies on environmental, social and ethical criteria, such as environmental protection, labor practices, and fair business practices. The requirements for getting an Ecovadis certification will depend on the specific category of business and industry, but typically include providing information on the company's sustainability practices, policies and performance, and undergoing an assessment by an independent auditor.

• REACH

  REACH stands for "Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals" it is a regulation of the European Union that governs the registration, evaluation, authorization, and restriction of chemicals. The REACH regulation aims to ensure that the chemicals used in Europe are safe for human health and the environment. The regulation applies to all chemical substances, whether they are used in industrial processes or in everyday products such as cleaning products, paints, and cosmetics. Companies that manufacture, import or use chemicals in the EU must register the chemicals they produce or import, provide safety information and communicate the risks associated with the chemicals. This information will be used to assess the risks and determine if any further action is needed to protect human health and the environment.
