Protection Ratings and Safety Standards

EN 388: Mechanical Resistance

• EN 388: 3X41A

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.

What's Unique About MCR Safety General Handling Gloves?

The most unique aspect of these gloves is their coating and what it does to maximise grip strength. Unlike flatter coatings, the inclusion of suction latex massively strengthens the users grip, preventing objects from slipping and sliding about. 

What Is a Latex Suction Coating?

Latex-suction refers to the unique patterned grip detailing on the palm of the gloves. As you can see from the image below, there are tiny squares that generate friction when handling an object, making it harder for smooth boxes and bits of equipment to fall out of your hands.

This uneven texture is great for grip and for absorbing microscopic droplets of moisture that can linger on the glove face to compromise grip strength and stability.

Snug-Fit Design

To ensure your hands are as comfortable as possible while you work, MCR Safety GP1005LS Gloves are designed against a tight fitting and ultra lightweight design specification, making it incredibly easy to make natural and comfortable hand movements. This also gives the gloves an fantastic sense of touch, helping you ensure that you can actually feel everything you hold and touch.

Antibacterial Coating

To give MCR GP1005LS Latex Work Gloves a fantastic hygiene and comfort level, they utilise an antibacterial coating, helping the gloves feel fresher for longer on your hands. This not only ensures that your hands feel good in the gloves, but also enables you to keep your work as clean and hygienic as possible.

Maximum Grip In Wet and Dry Conditions

Using a latex suction coating over the fingers and palms, MCR Safety GP1005LS gloves provide a fantastic level of grip in both wet and dry conditions. The coating actually provides suction between the gloves and the object you're carrying, enabling you to ensure you have the best hold possible.

What's So Special About Latex?

Latex is an incredibly durable, cost-efficient coating. Because of its widespread use and subsequently inexpensive nature, gloves manufactured with it are inexpensive whilst remaining high quality. Latex coated gloves tend to have a higher puncture and tear resistance than their nitrile counterparts.

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.

This is just a brief overview of EN standard EN 388 so you know where you are standing. For further information, you can see the Introductory EN 388 Blog in our Knowledge Centre.
