What Can the Kutlass Plus Cut Level F Gloves Protect Against?

The Kutlass Plus Cut F Food Use Gloves have been certified to a number of standards which ensure protection in the kitchen. Standards include EN 388 which tests resistance to abrasion, cuts, tears and punctures, and EN 1186 for certified food use.

EN 388

• EN 388: 2X41F

Other Standards

• EN 1186: Approved for food use according to EN 1186
• EN 6330: Suitable for food washing at 85°C and tumble drying up to five times according to EN 6330

Which Size Should I Choose?

The Kutlass Food Use Gloves are available in four sizes that should suit the hands of most users. Please measure the circumference of your hand around the knuckles (excluding the thumb) with your hand open and your fingers together, and the length of your hand from the tip of your middle finger to your wrist.

Use as a Liner

The Kutlass Plus Gloves can be used either as an underglove or on their own, adding further usability to some already useful gloves. By using as an underglove under a pair of disposable gloves, you can help to provide good cut protection when using knives. Alternatively you can use the gloves on their own, offering good food contamination prevention and high cut resistance.

How Flexible Are the Kutlass Plus Cut F Gloves?

One thing that you require while preparing food is outstanding dexterity, as using knives can be dangerous and it can be difficult to get a proper hold of food with thicker gloves. The Kutlass Plus Gloves are supplied with a super thin lining, providing outstanding dexterity on the job,

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.
