Protection Ratings and Safety Standards
EN 511: Cold Resistance
EN 511 is the European regulation governing cold-resistant garments and gloves. This regulation uses a number of intricate and complex tests to assess the contact cold, convective cold and water permeability of a fabric. Please view the table below to see how these gloves performed:
| Standard | Resistance Rating |
| Convective Cold Resistance | N/A |
| Contact Cold Resistance | Level 2 |
| Water Permeability | N/A |
EN 388: Mechanical Resistance
EN 388 is a European regulation governing the sale of gloves used for safety and protection. It determines the gloves' performance when used for protection against mechanical machinery by measuring the fabric's abrasion, cut, tear and puncture resistance.
The EN 388 cut resistance test uses a single sharp implement to repeatedly pressure a glove in order to determine the amount of force required to cause visible and functional damage.
| Standard | Resistance Rating |
| Abrasion Resistance | Level 2 |
| Cut Resistance | Level 2 |
| Tear Resistance | Level 3 |
| Puncture Resistance | Level 2 |
| ISO Cut Resistance | N/A |
EN 407: Heat Resistance
EN 407 is a European safety regulation governing the sale of gloves and garments that are resistant to any number of fire, heat and molten related hazards. Please view the table below to find out more:
| Standard | Resistance Rating |
| Burning Resistance | N/A |
| Contact Heat Resistance | Level 2 (250°C) |
| Convective Heat Resistance | N/A |
| Radiant Heat Resistance | N/A |
| Resistance to Small Molten Splashes | N/A |
| Resistance to Large Molten Splashes | N/A |

Contact Heat Resistance Explained
A level 2 contact heat-resistance rating indicates that the palm area of the glove can safely withstand contact with heated material with a temperature not exceeding 250°C for a massive 15 seconds. This protection is invaluable for mechanics, HVAC professionals and anyone who routinely has to handle, fit and transfer hot and hazardous material as part of their workload.
What Are the Benefits of a Sandy Latex Coating?
Sandy nitrile simply refers to a standard nitrile coating that has had gritty and grippy sand added for additional texture. Perfect for manual handling in wet environments, sandy nitrile helps prevent drops and accidents where grip strength and stability are compromised due to the glove face becoming slippery.
