Below you can read about applicable classifications for our gloves. EN 388 abcd EN 388 Gloves Giving Protection from Mechanical Risks This standard applies to all kinds of protective gloves in respect of physical and mechanical aggressions caused by abrasion, blade cut, tearing and puncture. Protection against mechanical risks is expressed by a pictogram followed by four numbers (performance levels), each representing test performance against a specific risk. The performance level is from 1–5, where 4 or 5 is the best result. a. Resistance to abrasion: based on the number of cycles required to abrade through the sample glove. The resistance to abrasion is measured by the number of cycles required for hole to occur. Highest protection is 4 and is equal with 8000 cycles. b. Blade cut resistance: based on the number of cycles required to cut through the sample by a circular rotating blade at a constant speed. The result is compared with a reference material and an index is obtained. Highest protection is 5 and is equal with an of index of 20. c. Tear resistance: based on the amount of force required to tear the sample. The resistance to tear is defined as the force necessary to propagate a tear in a rectangular specimen slit half way along its length. The specimen shall be torn totally apart. Highest protection is 4 and is equal with 75 Newton. d. Puncture resistance: based on the amount of force required to pierce the sample with a standard sized point and speed (10 cm/min). Highest protection is 4 and is equal with 150 Newton. These are the requirements for each performance levels. The performance level is displayed alongside the pictogram. Performance level 0 a. Abrasion resistance (cycles) b. Blade cut resistance (factor) c. Tear resistance (newton) d. Puncture resistance (newton) 1 1.2 10 20 2 2.5 25 3 4 <100 100 500 2000 8000 <1.2 <10 <20 75 60 100 150 5 – 5.0 10.0 20.0 50 – – EN 511 abc EN 511 Gloves Giving Protection from Cold This standard applies to any gloves to protect the hands against convective and contact cold down to –50 °C. Protection against cold is expressed by a pictogram followed by a series of 3 performance levels, relating to specific protective qualities. Highest protection is 4. a. Resistance to convective cold: Performance level 0–4. Based on the thermal insulation properties of the glove which are obtained by measuring the transfer of cold via convection. b. Resistance to contact cold: Performance level 0–4. Based on the thermal resistance of the glove material when exposed to contact with a cold object. c. Permeability by water: 0 or 1. 0 = water penetration after 30 minutes of exposure. 1 = no water penetration. X=performance level not tested. All gloves must also achieve at least performance level 1 for abrasion and tear according to EN 388. THE RIGHT SIZE IS A MATTER OF SAFETY Always choose gloves with the right finger length. Try them on to find the right one. Make sure you don’t use a glove that is too loose, as this increases the risk of accidents. 2 1 2 1 YOUR SIZE Hand circumference Hand length Minimum length of glove* 789 10 MM MM MM 11 178 203 229 254 279 171 182 192 204 215 230 240 250 260 270 * If the glove is made for a specific application, it is possible to depart from the requirements of minimum glove lenght if it is stated in the user guide.
