EN388-Mechanical Hazards
Protection against mechanical hazards in respect of physical and mechanical stress caused by abrasion, blade cut, tear and puncture.

2 = Abrasion (Performance Index 1-4)
1 = Blade Cut* (Performance Index 1-5)
1 = Tear (Performance Index 1-4)
1 = Puncture (Performance Index 1-4)

X = Cut (EN ISO 13997) (Rating A-F)

NOTES:
Where 1 indicates the lowest performance. X that the test was not performed or not possible. A 0 rating indicates that during the test level 1 was not reached.

*Gloves should not be used when working with serrated blades.

EN407-Hot Thermal Hazards
This standard specifies thermal performance for protective gloves against heat and/or fire. The table below indicates the glove’s resistance to:

X = Flammability (Performance Index 1-4)
1 = Contact heat (Performance Index 1-4)
X = Convective heat (Performance Index 1-4)
X = Radiant heat (Performance Index 1-4)
X = Small splashes of molten metal (Performance Index 1-4)
X = Large splashes of molten metal (Performance Index 1-4)

NOTES:
Where 1 indicates the lowest performance. X that the test was not performed or not possible. A 0 rating indicates that during the test level 1 was not reach.
