International Standards
EN 388: 2016 Standard for Gloves Protecting Against Mechanical Risks
Cuts and lacerations are the most common type of hand injury, meaning it is critical to wear the correct safety glove for the task at hand. EN 388 is a widely-recognised standard that determines the requirements for safety gloves.
Safety Gloves are commonly tested across a huge range of industries to meet this standard:
- Abrasion Test (Rated 1-4)
- Cut Test (Rated 1-5)
- Tear Test (Rated 1-4)
- Puncture Test (Rated 1-4)
- Impact Test (Rated “P”)
The new EN ISO test provides a more accurate specification regarding cut resistance during work. It includes differing impact-based hazards, meaning there are now 6 possible grades of cut resistance. This is to ensure that the degree of protection provided by the glove is as accurate as possible for the job.
Materials
Most of our gloves are made of Nitrile, PU, or Latex.
