• 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 4

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

  Cut Resistance, Coup Test Level 5

  Offers the highest protection against cuts from a rotating circular blade under this specific test method.

  Abrasion Resistance Level 2

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

  Puncture Resistance Level 1

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

  Cut Resistance, ISO 13997 Level C

  Offers medium protection against cut risks from handling lightweight metals and plastics.

• 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

  Heat Contact Level 3

  This product provides protection against contact heat up to 350°C for at least 15 seconds. It is ideal for situations where you need to handle hot objects for a short duration, offering reliable hand safety.

  Burning Behaviour Level 4

  Offers the highest protection against catching fire when briefly touching a naked flame. The material resists burning and will extinguish itself almost immediately, giving you crucial time to react and stay safe from burns.

  Heat Convection Level 4

  Provides the highest level of protection against convective heat, which is the transfer of heat through moving air or fluids like steam. This glove significantly delays heat from a flame reaching the inside, ideal for industrial settings.

  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.

  Radiant Heat Level 3

  This product provides good protection against radiant heat, delaying heat transfer for at least 50 seconds. It is suitable for situations where you are exposed to significant heat rays, such as working near furnaces or foundries.

  Metal Splash Resistance Level 2

  Provides hand protection against moderate splashes of molten metal, tested to resist up to 60 grams. Ideal for industrial work such as welding or foundry tasks where there is a risk of large molten metal splash.

• EN ISO 9001:2015

• 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.
