Standards and labels

• 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

  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.

  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 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.

  Molten Metal Resistance Level 4

  Offers the highest level of protection (Level 4) against large splashes of molten metal, like iron. Built for demanding industrial jobs such as foundry work, providing essential safety when exposed to significant molten material splashes.

  Metal Splash Resistance Level 2

  Provides protection against large splashes of molten metal, specifically tested to withstand up to 60 grams. This is suitable for tasks like welding or foundry work where accidental contact with significant amounts of molten material is 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

  Tear Resistance Level 2

  Offers moderate resistance against snagging or catching on rough objects, preventing small rips from growing.

  Abrasion Resistance Level 3

  Provides good resistance against scraping, scratching, and rubbing on rough or abrasive surfaces.

  Puncture Resistance Level 2

  Withstands moderate force from sharp objects like heavy-duty splinters or wires.

• 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

  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.
