Ansell Edge 48-140 Anti-Static Gloves

The Ansell Edge 48-140 Anti-Static Gloves feature carob fibres to protect against electrostatic discharge (ESD) during electronics work and electrical assembly jobs. The dipped palms prevent the transfer of perspiration of the electronic part, and good abrasion resistance improves safety in general handling tasks.

Resistance of the Ansell 48-140 Anti-Static Gloves

The Ansell 48-140 Anti-Static Gloves have been tested in accordance with European standards to ensure high levels of performance. Please find the results below:

Property	Resistance Level
Abrasion Resistance	Level 3
Cut Resistance	Level 1
Tear Resistance	Level 2
Puncture Resistance	Level 1
ISO Cut Resistance	Level A

What Do the Resistance Ratings Mean?

The resistance ratings are tested in accordance with EN 388. Level 4 is the highest performance (except for Cut Resistance, which reaches Level 5), and Level 1 is the lowest resistance to be scored.

As such, the Edge 48-140 gloves provide good abrasion resistance and reasonable tear resistance. For more information, please see the 'What Is EN 388?' tab at the top of the listing.

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.

Where Can I Find Out More?

This is just a brief overview of EN standard EN 388 so you know where you are standing. For further information, you can see the Introductory EN 388 Blog in our Knowledge Centre.
