ISO Cut Resistance Level C

Key Features and Benefits

  • Lightweight nitrile coated gloves with HPPE fibre
  • Level C cut resistance for medium protection against cut hazards
  • Liquidproof palm with MicroFinish promises high grip
  • Keeps hands safe in dry, wet and and oily environments
  • Thirteen-gauge seamless high performance polyethylene (HPPE) and glass fibre liner

Oil Grip Peformance with Cut-Resistance

The Towa540 Gloves are the ultimate duty gloves for oily, wet and and dry environments where moderate cut risks are present. Offering a level C cut resistance, these gloves provide medium protection against cut hazards, while the liquid proof palms of these gloves prevent any liquids from reaching your hands.

What Is Level C Cut-Resistance?

Level C cut-resistant gloves provide medium protection against cut hazards with a force of up to 10 newtons. These gloves would be classed as offering similar levels of protection as cut level 5 gloves which cover the old EN 388:2003 standards.

Lightweight and Breathable

With a 13-gauge liner and ergonomic design, the Towa540 gloves promise maximum comfort and a lightweight feeling to allow the hands to keep going. Further contributing to the comfort factor, an open back hand design allows for optimal flowing of air, preventing sweat from pooling and maintaining freshness.

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.

Where Can I Find Out More?

This is just a brief overview of EN standard EN 388 so you know where you are standing. For further information, you can see the Introductory EN 388 Blog in our Knowledge Centre.
