Protective Gloves

Standards and labels

• 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

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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.

  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 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.
