TECHNICAL TIP
EN388 STANDARD CHANGES – WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW The EN388:2003 standard has changed. An update to the way gloves are tested are included in these changes. Previously rated numerically, gloves are now rated alphabetically as shown below
OLD
NEW
A. ABRASION RESISTANCE (1 – 4)
C. TEAR RESISTANCE (1 – 4)
Based on the number of cycles required to make a hole in the glove fabric. The higher the number, the better the glove resistance.
Based on the amount of force required to tear the glove fabric.
B. CUT RESISTANCE (1 - 5)
D. PUNCTURE RESISTANCE ( 1 4)
Based o the number of cycles required to cut through the glove fabric at a constant speed.
Based on the amount of force required to pierce the sample with a standard sized point.
A. ABRASION RESISTANCE (1 – 4)
D. PUNCTURE RESISTANCE (1 – 4)
Based on the number of cycles required to make a hole in the glove fabric. The higher the number, the better the glove resistance.
Based on the amount of force required to pierce the sample with a standard sized point.
B. CUT COUP TEST (1 – 5)
E. TDM CUT RESISTANCE (A – F)
Based on the number of cycles required to cut through the glove fabric at a constant speed. Not applicable if glove material (ie: glass fibres, steel fibres or Dyneema) has a blunting effect on the blades.
The force required to make a cut through at 20mm travel distance with a razor-sharp blade.
C. TEAR RESISTANCE (1 – 4)
F. IMPACT RESISTANCE (P, F, X)
Based on the amount of force required to tear the glove fabric.
The transmitted force of a pre-defined weight of 2.5kg with an impact energy of 5 J onto the glove.
