Protection Ratings for Polyflex Safety Gloves
EN 388
EN 388 is a European regulation governing the sale of gloves used for safety and protection. It determines the gloves' performance when used for protection against mechanical machinery by measuring the fabric's abrasion, cut, tear and puncture resistance.
Standard | Resistance Rating |
Abrasion Resistance | Level 4 |
Cut Resistance | Level 1 |
Tear Resistance | Level 2 |
Puncture Resistance | Level 2 |
ISO Cut Resistance | N/A |
EN 407
EN 407 is a European safety regulation governing the sale of gloves and garments that are resistant to any number of fire, heat and molten related hazards. Please view the table below to find out more:
Standard | Resistance Rating |
Burning Resistance | N/A |
Contact Heat Resistance | Level 1 (100°C) |
Convective Heat Resistance | N/A |
Radiant Heat Resistance | N/A |
Resistance to Small Molten Splashes | N/A |
Resistance to Large Molten Splashes | N/A |
Suitable Applications and Environments for Polyflex Safety Gloves
Polyflex Grip Gloves are suitable for indoor and outdoor working environments in dirty and clean conditions. Please view the list below to see which suit applications suit Polyflex Safety Gloves best:
Contact Heat-Resistant Fabric
Polyflex Heat Safety Gloves are resistant to heated material and tools with a temperature not exceeding 100°C for an incredible fifteen seconds. This allows the user to safely transfer, put down or deconstruct highly volatile material without worrying about burns or heat penetration.
Nitrile Dotted Palm for Grip Enhancement
In order to safely handle and transfer material, you need to know that your gloves provide the necessary grip stability required to do the job. Unlike other smoother safety glove designs, Polyflex Safety Gloves use a raised and dotted pattern at the palm to enhance the grip stability of the user.
Comfortable and Soft Knitted Wrist Cuff
A flexible wrist cuff is vital when you're wearing gloves for long periods and especially if your work or application involves manual handling. Fatigue, repetitive strain injury and tired wrists can come on quickly if your wrist isn't correctly support, or if it isn't allowed to flex and move naturally.
Polyco Polyflex Gloves cradle the wrist, allowing it to move and bend freely. This knitted wrist cuff sits snugly against the wrist, which also prevents dirt and debris from entering the glove.
Maximum Level 4 Abrasion Resistance
Gloves with a level 4 abrasion resistance are perfect for bricklaying, manual handling, warehouse picking and other heavy-duty construction style applications. Built to last, Polyco Polyflex Safety Gloves stand up strong in the face of wear and tear, rubbing, scratches and constant contact.
Foam Nitrile Coating Benefits
Foam nitrile is an incredibly durable and porous coating. It is unparalleled when working around liquids as it works to absorb and suck up water and oil, preventing slips and drops. It behaves like a sponge, creating a suction cup effect which leaves the user able to grip tightly onto whatever it is they're lifting. Foam nitrile is also three times more puncture resistant than rubber.

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.
