Protection Ratings and Safety Standards

EN 388: Mechanical Resistance

• EN 388: 4542

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.

What Does Level 5 Cut-Resistance Actually Mean?

Work gloves that have been specified in this category are suitable for a wide range of hazardous uses, including areas where contact with blades and sharp edges is common. As these gloves are where padding starts to increase and dexterity starts to lessen, they're more suited for use with trade workers and in industrial settings like building and construction sites.

SUITABLE Applications and Environments for Use

MCR Safety CT1018NA Diamond Dyneema Gloves offer great protection against cuts, abrasions and tearing, making them ideal for use in a range of industries, including:

• Automotive
• Aerospace
• Building
• Construction
• Manufacturing
• Glass Handling
• Machinists
• Manufacturing
• Scaffolding
• Steel Handling
• Shipping
• Carpentry
• Oil
• Gas
• Woodworking

Rough, tough and Durable Dyneema

These gloves are made from the incredibly tough fabric "Dyneema" which offers a fantastic level of durability and cut resistance. Thankfully, it's an incredibly lightweight fabric that is soft and comfortable to wear, making it easier than ever to carry out a huge range of intricate and detailed handling tasks.

Great Grip in Wet, Dry and Oily Conditions

The MCR Safety CT1018NA Diamond Dyneema gloves feature a nitrile air coating over the fingers and palms. This provides the gloves with an exceptional level of grip in wet, dry and even oily conditions, enabling the wearer to ensure that they have a secure grasp on whatever they're holding or carrying.

What's So Special About a Palm Only Coating?

A palm only coating means that only the palm area of the glove is coated with a protective dip, leaving the back of the glove to breathe freely. This promotes the consistent movement of clean air through the fabric, preventing odour, perspiration and sweat from building up inside the glove.

Why Nitrile?

Nitrile is an incredibly thin and durable coating that works tirelessly in the background with you to absorb microscopic droplets of moisture, perspiration and grime. This helps prevent liquids lingering on the glove face that can otherwise compromise grip strength, integrity and stability.

This makes nitrile an excellent choice for any cargo, freight or manual handling professional who uses their hands day in, day out.

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.
