Protection Ratings and Standards

EN 388

• EN 388: 4543X

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.

Level 5 Cut-Resistant Material

Working with highly volatile and sharp material can seriously damage your hands. Level 5 cut resistance protects the hand from machine misfire, cutting, blades and sheet metal edges.

Maximum SuperFabric Protection

Serious about heavy-duty protection, SuperFabric was developed in 1996 as a solution for preventing needle and knife incisions. It is the layer that prevents a serrated edge, needle or blade end from breaking through your glove and causing serious injury to your hand

What Is Thinsulate Lining?

Thinsulate is a collection of difference sized woven synthetic fibres packed together to provide resistance to varying levels of cold. They allow larger than standard gaps to exist between their fabric fibres.

How Does Thinsulate Work?

Thinsulate not only traps a greater degree of heat, but it allows moisture and liquid to escape, preventing the build up of sweat and odour. Thinsulate is also incredibly thin, meaning it retains and traps a high level of warmth without intruding on your ability to perform dexterous and precise tasks.

TP-X Palm Stitching

TP-X is an innovative stitching system that ensures longevity. In a normal pair of safety gloves, single stitched hems and seams break over time as you use them. TP-X ensures that seams are double stitched using premium thread.

High Dexterity and Precision Handling

Dexterity does not need to be compromised for safety. The Arctic Gator 4031 Gloves enable flexible movement, offering maximum usability when coupled with the quality wet- and dry-grip functionality.

Impact Deflection

High Visibility in Low Light Conditions

The gloves feature a high-visibility colour scheme. The bright green hi-vis material allows the gloves to be more easily seen, making them more practical for use in darker environments.

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.
