Protection Ratings and Safety Standards

EN 388: Mechanical Resistance

• EN 388: 2322B

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.

EN 407: Heat Resistance

• EN 407: 41314X

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:

Key Features and Benefits

• Contact-heat safe for handling material with a temperature not exceeding 100°C
• Maximum Level 4 burn resistance prevents ignition
• Fireproof fabric means flames will not transfer onto your gloves
• Excellent protection against small splashes of molten metal
• Great protection when welding or soldering
• Despite great heat protection, dexterity shines through in slender fingertips

Incredible Heat and Flame Resistance

As one of our number one heat-resistant gloves, Ejendals Tegera 256 Heat-Resistant Safety Gloves are perfect for any application where contact with heated material is a constant threat. Whether it's heated metal, pipework, solder, engine parts or you're coming into direct contact with fire and flame, Ejendals Tegera 256 Heat Gloves are a brilliant option for keeping your hands safe.

Dexterity Enhancing Design

So often, gloves with great protection are laboured with a tonne of dense and bulky padding. Ejendals Tegera 256 Heat Proof Gloves buck the trend by carefully positioning their protection to maximise safety and enhance dexterity in the fingertips.

Reinforced Fingertips 

The fingertips on Tegera 256 Safety Gloves are reinforced to maximise grip strength and stability. Whether you're grabbing tools, equipment or you're lifting boxes and cargo, rest-assured your fingers wont tire and your grip wont suffer.

Ignition-Resistant Heatproof Threads

Ejendals 256 Fire and Flame Safe Gloves use ignition and fire-proof threads in their construction to prevent them catching fire in the event that they come into contact with an ignition source.

Split-Hide Foundation Fabric

Split-hide is a great leather for gloves because it's hardwearing and stylish looking. With a flat matte look to it, split-leather gives a smooth, polished finish that feels and looks great.

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.
