Protection Ratings and Safety Standards for polyco Matrix GH315 Gloves

EN 388

• EN 388: 4X43E

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.

Suitable Applications and Environments for Polyco Matrix GH315 Safety Gloves

Manufactured with an incredible cut-resistance rating, Polyco GH315 Safety Gloves are perfect for a range of highly dangerous applications. Please see the list below for a few examples:

• Blade Handling
• Builders
• Construction
• Glass Handling
• Handling Sharp Objects
• Machine Operation
• Maintenance
• Mechanics and Automotive Professionals
• Roofing
• Scaffolding
• Sheet Metal Handling
• Shipping 
• Stationary Blade Handling
• Warehouse
• Woodworking

Incredible Level E Cut Resistance Rating

A Level E cut-resistance rating indicates the fabric used to construct Polyco GH315 Safety Gloves is capable of resisting up to an incredible 30 newtons of downward pressure applied by a sharp implement. This rating can mean the difference between a blade tip slicing straight through your glove and your hand, and the tip becoming lodged between the tightly woven cut-resistant fibres that make up Polyco Cut Safe Gloves.

Key Features and Benefits

• Incredible Level E cut-resistance rating under EN 388
• Maximum Level 4 abrasion resistance rating enhances durability and shelf life
• Perfect for seriously hazardous applications
• Polyurethane palm coating maximises grip strength and stability for safe handling
• Incredibly affordable dexterity and precision
• Available in six different sizes

Polyurethane Coating Benefits

Polyurethane is an incredibly flexible coating which 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. Polyurethane coatings have a lightweight feel that moulds the glove to the natural contour of your hand.

Maximise Your Dexterity

Despite their incredible array of protections, Polyco Matrix Cut Resistant Safety Gloves remain lightweight and inobtrusive. This allows the user to easily pick up and handle intricate machine parts, tools and switches with ease.

Level 4 Abrasion Resistance Rating

Abrasion resistance increases the shelf life of your gloves by guarding against rubbing, scratching, constant contact and wear and tear. Polyco GH315 Safety Gloves boast the maximum level 4 rating under EN 388, making them ideal for professions like warehouse packing, material handling and shipping.

Elasticated and Flexible Knit Wrist

If you work in dirty outdoor environments, you'll know all about dust, dirt and grime exposure. This is exactly what you don't want entering your glove, as it can cause irritation and damage to your skin.

Polyco GH315 Safety Gloves use a snug but flexible elasticated knit wrist to cradle and correctly position the wrist whilst preventing dirt, dust, debris and fallout from entering the glove. If you suffer with a dermatological condition, this is an ideal feature.

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.
