EN388: 2016 Mechanical Hazards
Protection against mechanical hazards in respect of physical and mechanical stress caused by abrasion, blade cut, tear and puncture. The table below indicates the glove’s resistance to:

1 = Abrasion 

1 = Blade Cut* 

1 = Tear 

2 = Puncture 

X = Cut (EN ISO 13997)

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.

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

4= Flammability 
1 = Contact heat 
2 = Convective heat 
X = Radiant heat 
4 = Small splashes of molten metal 
X = Large splashes of molten metal 

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.
