EN 388 Rating for the TraffiGlove TG5220 Gloves

The EN 388 ratings of the TraffiGlove TG5220 Gloves are:

What Is EN 388?

EN 388 stands for Mechanical Resistance, and informs you of the resistance of the gloves to abrasion, cuts, tears and punctures. 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 X 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.

Key Features of the TG5220 Gloves

• Three digit design for further dexterity
• Maximum abrasion, cut and tear resistance
• Lightweight and comfortable
• Durable polyurethane (PU) coating
• Close-fitting knit wrist
• Conform to EN 388

Comfortable Design

To give your hands the highest level of comfort while still ensuring you have received protection, the TG5220 Gloves feature a lightweight and close-fitting design, enabling freer and easier hand movement. A soft nylon liner provides even more comfort.

Exposed Fingertips

Three exposed fingertips on the TG5220 Gloves provide additional dexterity. This is vital for enabling you to perform fine product assembly tasks with ease.

Durable X-Dura PU Coating

To help you get the most from them, the TG5220 3 Digit 5 gloves feature an X-Dura PU coating, giving them a fantastic level of durability. This enables you to work with these gloves for longer than with other safety gloves.

How Does the Colour-Coded Traffisafe System Work?

Traffiglove gloves operate on the TraffiSafe system, designed to make it as easy as possible to identify the gloves you may need for a particular task.

• Red gloves feature a cut level of 1, designed to provide very basic cut resistance and should not be used in environments where cut resistance may be needed.
• Orange gloves feature a cut level of 3, designed to provide an intermediate level of cut resistance and should only be used in environments where cut resistance is infrequently required.
• Green gloves feature a cut level of 5, providing the best level of cut resistance possible and are suitable for use where cut resistance is repeatedly required.

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.
