What Is the Resistance of the TG5340 Gloves?

These gloves are an excellent choice for precision engineering jobs with a high cut risk - but don't just take our word for it. These gloves are back by a regulatory body, adhering to EN 388 (mechanical protection). See below for further details:

EN 388

What Does This Mean?

The graph demonstrates the excellent resistances the TG5340 Gloves have to abrasions and tears, making them remarkably durable and repellent to wear and damage. Moreover, their high cut resistance makes them all the more useful for high risk activities that involve industrial cutting. We can observe a slightly lower resistance towards punctures, but this does not necessarily impede the gloves's usefulness in the aforementioned industries.

The TraffiSystem – Safety Level at a Glance

TraffiGlove pride themselves on being the original inventors of the colour coded safety glove system. The TraffiSystem makes it easy to identify the level of cut protection required, based on the EN 388 test for cut resistance, even at a glance or from a distance.

Key Features

The TG5340 Gloves are designed with a number of key features that make them uniquely beneficial gloves to have on site:

• Superfine gauge close fitting and breathable liner
• Impressive Level D Cut liner with an X-Dura Nitrile Foam palm dipped coating

• Features a thumb crotch for extra protection and wear life
• Touchscreen sensitive 

Are the TraffiGlove TG5340 Gloves Good for Handling?

The TG5340 Gloves have is lined with a superfine gauge close fitting and breathable liner, which enhances their grip on both sharp and blunt objects. Their thin material allow for greater dexterity whilst their resistance to sharp objects allows for greater hands-on interaction.

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.
