Tested to EN Safety Standards For Reliable Protection

EN 388: Mechanical Resistance

• EN 388: 4X44C

The Blackrock Lithium PU Coated Gloves have been tested against mechanical risks under the European standards EN 388. This standard tests the gloves' protection against hazards such as cuts, tears, puncture, and abrasion, and can be used to determine how hardwearing the gloves are.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• PU coating and blended fibres help you perform intricate tasks safely
• Glass fibre and stretch fabric liner offers cut protection and excellent comfort
• Provides a close and secure fit so you remain as dexterous as possible
• High mechanical strength prevents gloves from tearing in tough environments
• Provides excellent abrasion, tear and puncture resistance for handling rough materials
• Elasticated wrist for secure fit
• Certified to EN 420 and EN 388

HIGH MECHANICAL STRENGTH

As seen from the EN 388 ratings above, these gloves have outstanding strength offering high abrasion, tear, and puncture resistance. The high mechanical strength of these tough gloves help ensure the gloves don't wear and tear even in tough environments.

Level C Cut Protection

With a glass fibre and stretch fabric liner, the Blackrock PU Coated Handling Gloves offer level C cut-resistance. This rating indicates that the gloves provide medium protection against cut hazards with a force of up to 10 newtons, and are classed as offering similar levels of protection as cut level 5 gloves - which cover the old EN 388:2003 standards.

Comfortable Protection

The PU Coated Cut Resistant Gloves are seamless in construction so you remain comfortable as well as protected. An elasticated wrist also adds to the glove's comfort factor, allowing for a secure fit, without restricting movement.

What is EN 388?

You might have noticed that this product adheres to EN standard EN 388. EN standards ensure that the product you are buying meets the safety standards of the European Committee for Standardization (CEN), the highest standards organisation recognised by and working on behalf of the European Union. To pass any EN standard, a PPE product must undergo some of the most rigorous safety tests around.

There are many EN standards that our gloves adhere to. However, the EN standard that we’re concerned about here is EN 388. EN 388 stands for Mechanical Resistance, and informs you of your gloves' resistance to abrasion, cuts, tears and punctures.

How Do I Read the EN 388 Score?

Simply speaking, the higher the score that this product achieves, the better the product will be at resisting that hazard. Products will score between Level 0 and Level 4 for abrasion, tears and punctures, and if they weren’t tested for that hazard you will see N/A written instead of a number.

Cuts are a little different and, with the EN 388 standard rewritten in 2016, it means that gloves will either be tested to cut resistance or ISO cut resistance (sometimes called TDM cut resistance). Gloves tested to cut resistance will score between Level 0 and Level 5, and gloves tested to ISO cut resistance will achieve a score between Level A and Level F with the higher letter offering better cut protection.
