Standards and labels

• EN 388:2016

  EN 388:2016 is a European standard for measuring the performance of protective gloves against mechanical risks (abrasion, cut, tear, and puncture). The standard includes test methods and performance requirements for gloves to be considered compliant. Test results are reported using a series of four numbers, each representing the performance level achieved in one of the tests.

  Puncture Resistance Level 2

  Cut Resistance, ISO 13997 Level X

  Cut Resistance, Coup Test Level 1

  Abrasion Resistance Level 3

  Tear Resistance Level 2

• EN 407:2020

  EN 407:2020 is a European standard that specifies the safety requirements for protective gloves for thermal risks. It sets rules for the design, construction, and testing of gloves that protect users from heat and fire. Testing includes measurements of contact heat, convective heat, radiant heat, small splashes of molten metal, and flame resistance. The standard also includes requirements for labeling and instructions for use. This standard is an updated version of EN 407:2004, it includes new requirements, testing methods and performance levels to ensure that the gloves provide better protection against thermal risks such as heat, fire and molten metal splash.

  Metal Splash Resistance Level 3

  Molten Metal Resistance Level X

  Burning Behaviour Level 4

  Heat Contact Level 1

  Heat Convection Level X

  Radiant Heat Level X

• EN 12477:2001/A1:2005

  EN 12477:2001, along with the amendment A1:2005, is a European standard that specifically addresses protective gloves for welders. The standard sets requirements and test methods for gloves designed to protect the hands and forearms from heat and splatter during welding operations. The amendment A1:2005 introduces updates and refinements to enhance the performance and reliability of the gloves, ensuring improved protection for welders. It may include additional requirements for factors such as dexterity, grip, and durability. Compliance with EN 12477:2001 and its amendment ensures that welders have appropriate gloves that meet the necessary safety standards.

• CE Marking

  CE Marking is a label that shows a product meets certain safety and environmental standards set by the European Union. To get the CE Marking, a company must test and certify their product meets these standards. CE Marking is required for many products sold in the EU, including electronics, machinery, toys and medical devices. It helps ensure that products are safe for consumers and the environment, and allows for easy trade within the EU.
