• 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

  Heat Contact Level 1

  This product provides short-term protection against contact with hot objects up to 100°C (212°F) for at least 15 seconds. It is ideal for brief handling of warm items in non-professional settings like home kitchens.

  Heat Convection Level 2

  This product provides moderate protection against convective heat, which is the transfer of heat through moving air or fluids. It is suitable for tasks where you are briefly exposed to hot air, steam, or non-splashing hot liquids.

  Metal Splash Resistance Level 4

  Offers the highest protection (Level 4) from large splashes of molten metal, withstanding up to 200 grams. This provides critical safety for high-risk jobs like welding or foundry work where significant contact with molten metal is possible.

  Molten Metal Resistance Level 2

  Offers certified protection from large splashes of molten metal. This product is tested to withstand up to 60 grams of molten iron, providing safety for tasks like foundry work where significant splashes are a risk.

  Radiant Heat Level 1

  Provides basic protection by delaying heat transfer from a radiant source for at least 7 seconds. This makes it suitable for brief exposure to radiant heat, such as when working near ovens or furnaces from a distance.
