EN388:2016 Protective gloves against mechanical risks.
The EN388: 2003 standard is renamed EN388: 2016, the year of its revision. The reason for the modification is given by the discrepancies in the results between laboratories in the knife cut test, COUP TEST. Materials with high levels of cut produce a dulling effect on the circular blades, which undermines the result.

The new regulation was published in November 2016 and the previous one is from the year 2003. During these 13 years, there has been a great innovation in the materials for the manufacture of cutting gloves, they have forced to introduce changes in the tests to be able to measure with more rigorous levels of protection. If you want to know more about the main changes in these regulations, you can consult it through our website www.jubappe.es

A - Abrasion resistance (X, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4)
B - Blade Cut Resistance (X, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
C - Tear resistance (X, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4)
D - Puncture resistance (X, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4)
E - Cutting by sharp objects ISO 13997 (A, B, C, D, E, F)
F - Impact test complies / does not comply (It is optional. If it complies, put P)

The sample must be conditioned at least 48 hours before the test and must be tested at an air temperature 23 +/- 1ºC and at a relative humidity of 25 +/- 5%.

For protective gloves with electrostatic dissipation, each individual measurement must meet the requirement: Vertical resistance, Rv < 1,0 x 108 Ω.

Warnings and additional information

• Test results and test conditions in relation to the vertical resistance test.

• The person wearing ESD protective gloves will be properly grounded, such as wearing appropriate footwear.

• Protective gloves with electrostatic dissipation must not be removed from their packaging, opened, or put on or removed, when in a flammable or explosive atmosphere or when handling flammable or explosive substances.

• The electrostatic properties of the protective gloves may be affected by aging, contamination or damage, and may not be sufficient for flammable oxygen-enriched atmospheres where additional evaluations are necessary.
