Standards and labels

• 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 2

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

  Cut Resistance, ISO 13997 Level X

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

  Cut Resistance, Coup Test Level 2

  Offers low-level protection against cuts from objects like box cutters or sharp edges during general tasks.

  Abrasion Resistance Level 2

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

  Tear Resistance Level 3

  Offers strong resistance against ripping, making the material durable against snags and tears.

• EN ISO 21420:2020

  Protective gloves with the EN ISO 21420:2020 rating are tested for general requirements, including design, construction, the absence of harmful chemicals, correct sizing, and dexterity. This ensures the gloves are safe and comfortable to wear, fit correctly, and won't cause adverse skin reactions.

• 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 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.

  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 2

  Protects against small splashes of molten metal, ideal for tasks like grinding. This material is tested to withstand at least 15 drops of molten metal, helping to prevent burns and ensuring the metal does not stick.

  Radiant Heat Level 4

  Provides the highest level of protection against intense radiant heat, shielding hands for an extended time. Ideal for work near sources of extreme, non-contact heat like furnaces, foundries, and intense flames, offering maximum defense against heat rays.

  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.

• EN 12477:2001

  Protective gloves for welders with the EN 12477:2001 rating are tested for protection against hazards encountered during welding, including molten metal splashes, heat, flame, and mechanical risks like abrasion and cuts. This ensures the gloves provide a verified level of safety and the right dexterity for your specific welding tasks.
