Protection Ratings and Safety Standards

EN 388: Mechanical Resistance

• EN 388: 4543

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.

Suitable Environments and Applications for Use

MCR CT1018PU Cut-Resistant Work Gloves boast great EN 388 protection, making them great for a range of heavy-duty tasks. See below for some environments and workplaces that suit them best:

• Automotive
• Aerospace
• Carpentry
• Construction
• Gas

Innovative and Durable Dyneema Fabric

MCR CT1018PU Work Safety Gloves are made using incredibly tough Diamond Dyneema fabric which offers a fantastic level of durability and cut resistance. Despite this, Dyneema is a slender fabric that means the gloves remain incredibly lightweight and comfortable to wear.

This helps increase dexterity and accuracy when it matters most.

Increased Sense of Touch

The use of a polyurethane coating on the fingers and palms means MCR Safety CT1018PU Diamond Dyneema gloves enhance dexterity and touch for the user. This makes it easier to feel whatever's being held or carried, ensuring that not too much force is applied.

Handle Intricate Material With Ease

Most of the time, gloves that offer great protection against mechanical hazards are bulky, heavy and not great for handling small and intricate material like tools, nuts, bolts and switches. MCR CT1018PU Safety Gloves are different in that they use lightweight Dyneema fabric to keep their design feeling light and slender, allowing you to interact with small and tricky material with ease.

What's So Special About Polyurethane?

Polyurethane is an incredibly flexible coating. This is beneficial because it preserves dexterity and accuracy in the fingers.

A heavier glove does not allow a high degree of finger movement, thus reducing the users ability to perform precise and dexterous tasks when wearing it. A polyurethane coating has a lightweight feel to it that moulds the glove to the natural contour of your hand.

Level 5 Cut-resistance Rating

MCR CT1018PU Dyneema Safety Gloves have been awarded the maximum Level 5 cut-resistance rating under EN 388: 2003, demonstrating their ability to withstand interactions with blades, metal, sharp timber and a whole range of other sharp materials. This makes them great for building and construction environments, where you're regularly tasked with handling volatile and hazardous material like glass panels, timber, blades, tools and heavyweight equipment.

Great Protection Against Abrasions and Rips

Working with metal, glass, blades and serrated edge material is incredibly dangerous, meaning your gloves will need to be highly resistant to rips and tears. MCR CT1018PU Work Safety Gloves boast the maximum level 4 abrasion and tear resistance thanks to their robust and tough Dyneema fabric which bolsters shelf-life in fast-paced, hazardous environments.

Are MCR Safety Gloves Suitable for Woodworking?

Yes, these gloves are excellent for woodworking due to their high levels of both touch sensitivity and cut resistance. The Dyneema material makes these gloves incredibly strong for their weight and dexterity, making them an excellent pair of woodworking gloves.

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.
