EN 388 Mechanical Test
The European standard EN 388 covers the test requirements for safety gloves that are sold as protection against mechanical risks
Mechanical Test includes resistance against: Abrasion on a scale of 1-4, Cut resistance on a scale of 1-5 (5 being the highest level of resistance) Tear on a scale of 1-4 and Puncture on a scale of 1-4
EN 407 Heat Test
EN 407 have 6 numbers, each number showing the gloves' resistance to a certain hazard.
1 - resistance to flammability
2 - resistance to contact heat
3 - resistance to convective heat
4 - resistance to radiant heat
5 - resistance to small splashes of molten metal
6 - Resistance to large splashes of molten metal
EN 511 cold protection Test
Cold resistance test is based on 3 properties:
1 - Resistance to convective cold on a scale of 0-4
2 - Resistance to contact cold on a scale of 0-4
3 - Permeability by water 0-1
