EN 388

EN 388 is a European standard that assesses protective gloves against mechanical risks, such as cuts, abrasions, and punctures. It evaluates glove performance through a series of tests, providing ratings for properties like abrasion resistance and cut resistance. Each glove receives a score in each category, which helps consumers and employers choose the right protective gear for tasks that involve potential hazards. Understanding these ratings is crucial for ensuring safety in various work environments, including construction and manufacturing.
