REGULATIONS

EN ISO 21420:2020

This standard serves as the safety basis for any protective glove, ensuring that the equipment is harmless, ergonomic, and comfortable for the worker. Its main function is not to assess a specific risk but to ensure that the materials used do not contain harmful substances that cause allergies or irritations.

EN 388:2016+A1:2018 2X32

The EN 388:2016+A1:2018 standard with classification 2X32C defines a glove with balanced mechanical protection and a competitive cut level for intermediate risk tasks. This model offers moderate resistance to abrasion (level 2), tearing (level 3), and perforation (level 2), making it durable for general handling; it particularly stands out for its level C cut protection (according to the TDM ISO 13997 test), ensuring effective safety against sharp edges, even when the traditional 'Coupe' test is not applicable (indicated with 'X'). It is an ideal choice for operators handling metal components, glass, or materials with sharp edges where a balance between dexterity and superior defense against accidental cuts is required.

EN 407:2020

This standard regulates protection against hazards arising from heat and flames, indicating how long and at what temperature the glove can withstand before the heat reaches the skin.
