• 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

  Metal Splash Resistance Level 4

  Provides the highest level of protection against large splashes of molten metal, tested to resist amounts greater than 200 grams. This makes it essential for high-risk industrial jobs like foundry work and heavy welding.

  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.

  Radiant Heat Level 2

  This product provides moderate protection against radiant heat, delaying heat transfer for at least 20 seconds. It is suitable for tasks where hands are exposed to significant heat from sources like open flames or hot industrial processes.

  Burning Behaviour Level 4

  Provides the highest level of protection against catching fire when exposed to a naked flame. After the flame is removed, the material will stop burning within 2 seconds and stop glowing within 5 seconds.

  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.

  Heat Convection Level 3

  Provides a good level of protection by delaying the transfer of heat from a flame for at least 10 seconds. This makes it suitable for tasks where your hands might be briefly exposed to open flames.

• 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

  Cut Resistance, ISO 13997 Level B

  Offers low cut protection for general work, such as packaging and light assembly.

  Abrasion Resistance Level 4

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

  Tear Resistance Level 4

  Offers the highest level of protection against tearing, withstanding a strong force before ripping.

  Puncture Resistance Level 4

  Offers the highest protection against puncture from objects like nails, measured with a standardized blunt probe.

• EN 1149-2:1997

  Protective clothing and gloves with the EN 1149-2:1997 rating are tested for the electrical vertical resistance of their material. This ensures the fabric can safely dissipate static electricity through its thickness, reducing the risk of sparks in flammable environments or damage to sensitive electronic components.

  Test results

  Performance Tested

  This garment's material has been tested to safely dissipate electrostatic charge. It helps prevent sparks by allowing electricity to pass through the fabric, reducing the risk of fire or explosion in sensitive work environments.

• 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.
