Guide Anti-Vibration Glove

Standards and labels

• 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

  Convective Cold Level 1

  This glove provides light thermal insulation against the penetrating chill from cold air and wind. It is suitable for use in cool conditions, offering a basic level of protection to keep your hands warm.

  Cold Contact Level 2

  This glove provides good insulation when directly handling cold objects for a moderate duration. It's ideal for tasks like working in cold stores or handling chilled or frozen items, offering a solid mid-range of thermal protection.

  Water Tightness Level 1

  This product provides protection against water penetration, keeping your hands dry in wet conditions. It has passed a test where the glove is submerged in water for 30 minutes without any water leaking through.

• 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

  Abrasion Resistance Level 4

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

  Cut Resistance, ISO 13997 Level D

  Offers strong protection against cuts from utility knives, glass edges, and sheet metal.

  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.

  Tear Resistance Level 4

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

• 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 2

  This product provides protection from contact heat up to 250°C for at least 15 seconds. It is ideal for tasks where you might briefly handle hot items, such as in kitchens or workshops.

  Burning Behaviour Level X

  This product has not been tested for its performance when exposed to an open flame. It is not rated for fire resistance and should not be used for protection against direct contact with flames.

  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 X

  This product was not tested for protection against radiant heat, which is intense heat that can be felt from a distance. It does not claim to offer protection for tasks involving prolonged exposure to radiant heat sources.

  Heat Convection Level X

  This product was not tested for protection against convective heat, which is the transfer of heat through moving air, such as from a flame. Therefore, it has no claimed performance level for this specific thermal risk.

  Metal Splash Resistance Level X

  This product has not been tested for resistance against splashes of molten metal under the EN 407 standard. It does not offer rated protection for tasks where this is a risk, such as welding.

• CE Marking

  CE Marking is a label that shows a product meets certain safety and environmental standards set by the European Union. To get the CE Marking, a company must test and certify their product meets these standards. CE Marking is required for many products sold in the EU, including electronics, machinery, toys and medical devices. It helps ensure that products are safe for consumers and the environment, and allows for easy trade within the EU.

• 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.
