Resistance Ratings and Protection Standards

EN 388

• EN 388: 2020X

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.

EN 374

• EN 374: A, K, L, M, N, P, S, T

EN 374 is the European safety regulation that determines the chemical resistance of garments and gloves. The ratings seen below are determined by exposing the fabric to various amounts of each chemical to assess the level damage done to the fibres.

Extended Wrist Cuff

Working with chemicals is incredibly dangerous, even when you're wearing safety gloves. Polyco Maxima Chemical Resistance Gloves are designed to not only protect your hands, but your wrist and forearm too.

Maxima Gloves come with a 30cm extended wrist cuff to guard against splashing and prevent dirt, debris and dust from entering the glove. This above-standard fabric extension is vital when handling potentially dangerous and corrosive chemicals.

Laboratory Application

Working in a laboratory means a range of different things day to day. Protection is a must and dexterity is vital for handling intricate implements.

Maxima Heavy Duty Rubber Gloves marry safety with practicality, with an extended wrist cuff for added protection against splashing and a textured palm and fingertip section which enhances the users grip, accuracy and precision.

Food-Safe Design and Foundation

Polyco Maxima Safety Gloves are also 100% food-safe, making them ideal for use in manufacturing, production and handling environments. Thanks to their EN 388 protection and a textured and stippled palm section, Maxima Gloves are perfect for picking up and handling knives, forks, spoons and other food-related implements. 

Soft and Comfortable Flock Design

Wearing a pair of safety gloves for long periods when at work can wreak havoc on your hands and even cause the onset of dermatological conditions like eczema and dermatitis. Thankfully, Polyco Maxima Gloves are manufactures with a soft interior flock lining which is comfortable and allows the user to work for hours on end without irritation or discomfort.

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.
