HexArmor NXT 10-302 Kitchen Safety Glove Safety Ratings

EN 388

• EN 388: 4X42A

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.

Targeted Protection Areas

Please note that the Level A cut-resistance rating only applies to the thumb/finger area of the glove. This increases protection when holding food in place in order to chop, cut or dice.  For a more detailed depiction of the protection areas on the HexArmor 10-302 Kitchen Glove, please view the image further down.

Applications for the HexArmor NXT 10-302 Kitchen Safety Glove

• Fast Food

• Fishmongers

How Does an NXT 10-302 Glove Protect Your Hands?

Targeted protection areas allow a glove to single out areas that require additional reinforcement. This both protects the shelf life of the glove itself and the hand of the user. Please view the diagram beneath to see how targeted protection areas help to keep your hands safe:

SuperTouch Fabric 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.

Highly Breathable and Odour Free Material

A common complaint from glove wearing professionals is that throughout the day, their hands begin to smell. This occurs due to a build up of sweat and odour. HexArmor use highly breathable material that allows perspiration to naturally exit the glove throughout the day, preventing the build up of smelly particles inside the glove.

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.
