Impact-Resistant Oil & Gas Glove

Specifications

Standards explained

• EN 388Protective gloves against mechanical risks

  Rates gloves for abrasion, cut, tear and puncture, with optional impact protection. Compare the digits against the task rather than choosing the highest rating by default, as high cut levels usually reduce dexterity.

  Reading the marking: Four digits then a letter, e.g. 4X43E: abrasion 0-4, coup-test cut 0-5 (X = not tested or not applicable), tear 0-4, puncture 0-4, then ISO 13997 cut level A-F (F highest). A sixth character P = passed the knuckle impact test.

• ANSI/ISEA 138American National Standard for performance and classification for impact-resistant hand protection

  Rates the knuckle and finger impact protection of gloves used in oil and gas, rigging and heavy handling.

  Reading the marking: Levels 1 to 3, with level 3 transmitting the least force to the hand.
