Protection Ratings and Resistance Information

Mechanical Resistance: EN 388

• EN 388: 4X43D

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.

What Does Level D Cut-Resistance Actually Mean?

Cut Level D Gloves are great for use in areas where it's likely you'll come into contact with sharp metal, exposed glass and blades from time to time. Though they do not offer as much protection as our maximum rated Cut Level F Gloves, they do offer a greater amount of flexibility and control for manual handling in building and construction settings.

Suitable For A Range of Industries

Level D cut-resistance and a sleek and slender design brief make MCR Safety CT1017NF Cut Pro Gloves ideal for use in a range of different environments and areas, including:

• Automotive
• Aerospace
• Assembly
• Building
• Construction
• Forestry
• Gas
• Glass Handling
• Law enforcement
• Metalwork
• Oil
• Petroleum
• Steel Handling

Incredibly Lightweight and Sensitive Design

MCR CT1017NF Safety Gloves are some of the most lightweight cut-resistance gloves on the market thanks to their skin tight fit and slender design brief. This provides the wearer with an exceptional level of comfort and control over the material they're interacting with, making it easier to carry out a range of tricky, intricate tasks.

What Are the Benefits of Foam Nitrile??

Foam nitrile is an incredibly durable and porous coating. It is unparalleled when working around liquids as it works to absorb and suck up water and oil, preventing slips and drops.

It behaves like a sponge, creating a suction cup effect which leaves the user able to grip tightly onto whatever it is they're lifting. Foam nitrile is also three times more puncture resistant than rubber.

Great Dexterity and Touch

Gloves are only as good as the material they allow you to interact with. Big and bulky gloves are no good to anyone operating intricate machinery and tools, because they don't allow the fingertips to interact accurately.

MCR CT1017NF Nitrile Gloves are different. Their slender design promotes a massive amount of natural touch and dexterity, allowing you to make tweaks and changes to switches, bolts, screws and nuts with ease.

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.
