Protection Ratings and Safety Standards

EN 388: Mechanical Resistance

• EN 388: 1X31C

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.

Key Features and Benefits

• Kevlar liner bolsters cut-resistance rating
• Great medium-risk work safety gloves
• Uses a patented "Microthan" coating that's diamond shaped
• Ergonomically shaped to enhance grip strength
• Level C cut-resistance rating under EN 388
• Reinforced seams greatly improve glove shelf life
• Reflective decals ensure you stay safe and seen
• Available in five different sizes

What is Kevlar?

Kevlar is a synthetic material manufactured by DuPont that's comprised of tightly woven aramid fibres which are spun until the bond formed between them is too tight to separate. It is used in cut-resistant clothing and gloves because the lack of gaps between the fibres means a blade cannot easily pierce or puncture it.

What's All the Fuss About?

Kevlar is used in everything from bulletproof vests to safety gloves. It really is one of the strongest synthetic fibres on the market and has a seemingly endless list of applications for protecting the hands and body in the workplace.

Innovative Microthan+ Diamond Grip Palm Coating

Flexible and durable, "Microthan" is backed by years of research into just what maximises grip best when it comes to a glove coating. This ribbed surface prevents slips and drops in damp and wet conditions, preventing accidents and saving your thousands in damaged goods every year.

Hook and Loop Closure

Whether you're a fan of customisation or you just prefer gloves that are easy to don and doff, a hook and loop fastening is an excellent way to make sure your gloves fit just right, all day long. Simply adjust the Velcro-style strap until your gloves fit perfectly!

Reflective Decaling

Ensuring you stay safe and seen at all times is vital on site, for the safety of you and the safety of those around you. Reflective decaling on the back of the hand brilliantly compliments any hi-visibility workwear wardrobe.

Reinforced Seams Enhance Shelf Life

Designed to further enhance the shelf life of your gloves, reinforced seams are there in the background to actively help prevent rips, tears, splits and breakage.

Reinforced Fingertips

The inclusion of reinforced fingertips firmly solidifies these Ejendals Work Safety Gloves as medium-risk cut-resistance gloves. By packing the fingertips out with a carefully crafted amount of extra internal Kevlar padding, these gloves go above and beyond to protect against cuts and lacerations and enhance grip strength and stability.

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.
