Guide Cut Protection 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

  Water Tightness Level X

  This product was not tested for water penetration resistance. It may not protect your hands from getting wet and could lose its insulating properties in damp or snowy conditions, so it is best for use in dry cold environments.

  Convective Cold Level 3

  Provides heavy insulation against penetrating cold from wind and low air temperatures. Ideal for prolonged work in cold conditions, ensuring your hands remain warm and protected from the surrounding cold air.

  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.

• 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.

  Puncture Resistance Level 2

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

  Cut Resistance, ISO 13997 Level C

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

  Abrasion Resistance Level 3

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

• 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

  Metal Splash Resistance Level X

  This product has not been tested for resistance against splashes of molten metal under the EN 407 standard. It is not intended for use in activities like welding or foundry work where this specific protection is required.

  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.

  Heat Contact Level 2

  Protects your hands when briefly handling hot objects up to 250°C. This allows you to hold an item at this temperature for at least 15 seconds, ideal for tasks like handling hot pots or equipment.

  Burning Behaviour Level X

  This product was not tested for its resistance to open flames or burning behavior under the EN 407 standard. Therefore, it does not claim to offer protection against fire and should be kept away from naked flames.

  Heat Convection Level X

  This product has not been tested for protection against convective heat, which is the transfer of heat through moving air or fluids. Therefore, no specific performance level for delaying heat transfer from a flame is claimed.

  Radiant Heat Level X

  This product has not been tested for protection against radiant heat, the invisible heat felt from a distance like near a furnace. Therefore, it does not have a certified performance level for this specific type of intense heat hazard.

• 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.
