How Will the Portwest Pro Nitrile Work Gloves Protect My Hands?
The Portwest NPR Pro Work Gloves have been tested to the basic EN 420 EU standard for safety gloves, and have also achieved certification for EN 388 standards, or protection against certain mechanical risks. Their ability to protect users from these risks are broken down in the table below.
EN 388: 4131A
| Hazard | Level of Resistance |
| Abrasion Resistance | Level 4 |
| Cut Resistance | Level 1 |
| Tear Resistance | Level 3 |
| Puncture Resistance | Level 1 |
| Blade Cut Resistance | Level A |
Other
- CE Category: CAT II Risks (Intermediate level risk environments)
What Do These Standards Mean?
A 4 is the highest possible mark for most EN 388 standards, except for Cut Resistance (scored out of 5) and Blade Cut Resistance (scored from A to F). As the table shows, have the highest possible level of abrasion resistance, and a very high level of tear resistance, meaning they offer reliable protection against scratches and scrapes, and are suitable for handling rough or coarse materials. They also provide very low level protection against cuts and punctures, so can shield against very mild, brief interaction with such risks, but should never be used to work with sharp or splintering objects.
