• We recommend that the gloves are tested and checked for damages before use.
• It is the employer’s responsibility together with the user to analyze if each glove protects against the risks that can appear in any given work situation.

Basic demands

• All GUIDE gloves corresponds to the PPE regluation (EU) 2016/425 and the standard EN ISO 21420:2020.
• Declaration of Conformity for this product can be found at our website: guidegloves.com/doc
• The gloves are designed to protect against the following risks:

EN 388:2016+A1:2018 – Protective gloves against mechanical risks

The characters next to the pictogram, four numbers and one or two letters, indicates the protection level of the glove. The higher value the better result. Example 1234AB.

1. Abrasion resistance: performance level 0 to 4 2) Cut protection, coup test: performance level 1 to 5. 3) Tear resistance: performance level 1 to 4. 4) Puncture resistance: performance level 1 to 4.
   • A) Cut protection, TDM test EN ISO 13997:1999, performance level A to F. This test shall be performed if the material dulls the blade during the coup test. The letter becomes the reference performance result.
   • B) Impact protection: is specified by a P

For gloves with two or more layers the overall classification does not necessarily reflect the performance of the outermost layer.
If X = Test not assessed

EN 407:2020 – protection against heat

The figures next to the pictogram for this EN standard indicate what result the glove has attained in each test.

The higher the figure is the better result is achieved. The figures show as follows:

• Fig1 indicates the burning behavior of the material(performance level 1- 4)
• Fig2 indicates the protection level against contact heat(performance level 1- 4)
• Fig3 indicates the protection level against convective heat (performance level 1- 4). Fig4 indicates the protection level against radiant heat(performance level 1- 4). Fig5 indicates the protection level against drops of molten metal (performance level 1- 4). Fig 6 indicates the protection level against molten metal (performance level 1- 4).
• If protection against flames is claimed the following pictogram shall be used . If NO protection against flames is claimed the following pictogram shall be used instead .

The glove must not come in contact with a naked flame, if the glove has not been tested or obtains at least a performance level 1 in the limited flame spread test. For multilayer gloves that can be separated is the performance level only applicable to the whole product including all layers.

Warning: gloves tested for small splashes of molten metal is not suitable for welding activities. In the event of a molten metal splash the user shall leave the working place immediately and take off the glove. The glove may not eliminate all risks of burn.

EN12477:2001/A1/2005 – Protection when welding

• Type A indicates gloves that provide a higher degree of protection against heat and mechanical wear but need less flexibility and versatility
• Type B indicates gloves that provide a lower degree of protection against heat and mechanical wear but need higher flexibility and versatility.

There is no standardised test method at present for detecting UV penetration for materials for gloves but the current method of construction of protective gloves for welders do not normally allow penetration of UV radiation. With arc welding installations it is not possible to protect all parts conducting the welding voltage against direct contact for operational reasons. Testing is carried out on the palm of the glove, unless other is specified. If not specified the glove doesn´t contain any known substances that can cause allergic reactions. This model contains Latex which can cause allergic reactions.
