• EN 511:2006

  Gloves with the EN 511:2006 rating are tested for protection against convective cold (from air/wind), contact cold (from touching objects), and water penetration. This helps ensure your hands stay warm and protected in various cold conditions, preventing discomfort and cold-related injuries.

  Test results

  Water Tightness Level X

  This product was not tested for water penetration resistance. It may not protect your hands from getting wet and could lose its insulating properties in damp or snowy conditions, so it is best for use in dry cold environments.

  Cold Contact Level 1

  Provides light thermal insulation when directly handling cold objects. This offers basic protection for short or intermittent contact with cold surfaces, suitable for general tasks in cool conditions rather than prolonged exposure to extreme cold.

  Convective Cold Level 0

  This product was tested for protection against cold air but did not meet the minimum performance level. It offers no specific insulation against convective cold, making it suitable for conditions where wind and cold air are not a risk.

• 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

  Puncture Resistance Level 1

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

  Cut Resistance, Coup Test Level 0

  Provides no rated protection against cuts from a rotating circular blade under constant force.

  Abrasion Resistance Level 2

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

  Tear Resistance Level 1

  Provides basic resistance against snagging or catching on rough surfaces, offering minimal protection from tearing.

  Cut Resistance, ISO 13997 Level X

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

• 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.
