Protection Ratings and Safety Standards
EN 374
- EN 374: A, K, L, M, N, O, P
EN 374 is the European safety regulation that determines the chemical resistance of garments and gloves. The ratings seen below are determined by exposing the fabric to various amounts of each chemical to assess the level damage done to the fibres.
Chemical | Breakthrough Time |
(K) Sodium Hydroxide 40% | >480 minutes |
(L) Sulphuric Acid 96% | >240 minutes |
(M) Nitric Acid 65% | >60 minutes |
(N) Acetic Acid 99% | >30 minutes |
(O) Ammonium Hydroxide 25% | >60 minutes |
(P) Hydrogen Peroxide 30% | >480 minutes |
EN 388
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.
Standard | Resistance Rating |
Abrasion Resistance | Level 4 |
Cut Resistance | Level 1 |
Tear Resistance | Level 3 |
Puncture Resistance | Level 1 |
ISO Cut Resistance | N/A |

HEavy by Name, Heavy by Nature
On farms and in agricultural environments, you never know what you're going to face. Wear gloves that don't just protect against a range of chemicals commonly found in petrochemical products and pesticides, but that also allow for multifunctional use with machines, tools and other heavy-duty equipment.
Maximum Level 4 Abrasion Resistance Rating
Abrasion resistance demonstrates how a glove holds up in the face of wear and tear. The test involves long-term exposure to a spinning material source, designed to measure how well a fabric will hold up to contact like scuffs and scratches.
Polyco Jet Black Gloves have been awarded the maximum level 4 rating available under EN 388, demonstrating just how durable, robust and reliable they truly are. Polyco Flock Lined Gloves allow you to handle heavyweight machinery, tools and equipment with peace of mind.
Chlorinate Treatment Enhances Durability
Thanks to a unique and durable chlorinated treatment system applied to their foundation fabric, Polyco Jet Black Gloves feature a hardened surface that ensures serious long-lasting protection in the face of common workplace hazards like abrasions, cuts and puncturing.
Cotton Flock Lining Absorbs Perspiration
When you're working long hours doing manual labour or yard work, you'll know all about that nasty sweaty, odorous feeling when you take your gloves off at the end of the day. Polyco Jet Black Gloves use a flock lining to absorb sweat and perspiration, allowing you to wear your gloves day in, day out without fuss, irritation or issue.
Extensive Chemical Resistance Ratings
What really sets Polyco Chemical Resistant Jet Black Gloves apart from the rest is their extensive chemical resistance. Resistant to an incredible seven different commonly encountered chemicals, Polyco Jet Black Gloves are ideal for handling pesticides, fertiliser and other powerful cleaning agents and products.
Slip Resistant Pattern Prevents Drops and Inaccuracies
Ensure you never drop a tool, machine or part again. Polyco Jet Black Gloves are designed to maximise your ability to intricately control small pieces of equipment without worrying about drops and slips.
Using a textured palm to maximise control and strength, Polyco Chemical Heavy Weight Gloves are able to enhance your grip, preventing sweat, perspiration, damp and moisture from causing instability and slippages.

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.
