EN 388:2016 version , the European standard ,same to ANSI/American Standard , which used to test glove against mechanical risks, it alway tested by third party ,come out an EN 388 rating , it 's stand  for abrasion resistant , cut resistant , tear resistant, puncture resistant., Cut resistance is rated 1-5, other test performance are rated 1-4.

Compare to EN399:2003 version, Originally the EN 388 standard used only the “Coup Test” to test for cut resistance., now the TDM-100  was introduced to measure cut resistance for more accurate rating , and Impact Protection test as well .

EN 388 ratings have 6 numbers and each show the gloves resistance to a certain type of hazard, understanding these numbers is the best way to find the right  cut protection gloves for you.


EN388 Frist number ,Resistance to Abrasion,  performance level 1-4,  the higher numbers being more resistant.
the testing gloves will be used with a sandpaper under a certain pressure ,the glove will come apart and a hold appeared .

EN388 Second number ,Cut resistance, performance level 1-5, the higher numbers indicating higher levels of cut resistance
the test gloves will be blade cut by a knife untill glove come apart ,we named it as coup test .

EN388 Third number ,Tear resistance, performance level 1-4
The test glove will be test under a certain stretch force untill glove come apart, the 4 mean the strongest glove .

EN388 Fourth number ,Puncture resistance, performance level 1-4
The test glove will be tested by a small tip with certain press, the 4 mean the strongest glove .

EN388 Fifth number ,Cut resistant TDM test, performance level A-F
this test will be based on the second test rating when the test knife is dull , then this test wil be carried out ,
A dulled knife cuts with high speed and increasing force, until glove broken, The test measures how many Newton are glove beared ,  F indicates the highest level of protection

EN388 Sixth number ,impact resistant,  performance level P or X
The P will be marked if the glove had impact resistnat ,if not ,X will be marked .
