Testing to european Standards

EN 388 (Mechanical Resistance)

• EN388: 4X42F

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.

SuperFabric Foundation Fabric

Every year, companies spend millions of pounds covering medical expenses. SuperFabric is a patented fabric formula exclusively manufactured by HexArmor targeted at the most industrial professionals and environments to ensure blades, wires, metal glass and needles don't cause serious injuries on the job. 

INCREDIBLE LEVEL F CUT RESISTANCE

This SuperFabric material is constructed with closely woven fibres that form a tight-knit, highly cut-resistant casing that works to jam blade tips, needles and other sharp material before it can cause serious damage. A Level F resistance rating is the difference between a blade slicing straight through your skin and it becoming lodged between these fibres before it can cause harm.

Is the HexArmor Cut Resistant Sleeve Comfortable?

HexArmor understand that you cannot work effectively if you're uncomfortable. Whilst being highly cut-resistant, SuperFabric material is also incredibly comfy. Suitable for long, gruelling shifts, simply don the guard and forget about it.

How Does a Cut Resistant Guard Fit?

As demonstrated in the image below, the HexArmor Level F Guard sits comfortably on the forearm, running from the wrist to the elbow crease area.

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.
