The protective gloves meet the requirements of the European PPE regulation (EU) 2016/425 and protect against risks that are covered by the standards on which the certification is based. Applied standards are EN 659:2003+A1:2008 (protective gloves for fire fighters) and EN 420:2003+A1:2009. The performance levels claimed for the gloves are based on tests performed on the palm area of the gloves. For gloves with two or more layers, these overall performance levels may not necessarily reflect the performance of the glove’s outermost layer.
For dulling during the cut resistance test (6.2), the coupetest results are only indicative while the TDM cut resistance test (6.3) is the reference performance result.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The results stated in the test report are based on laboratory tests carried out exclusively on unused gloves. Transferring the results to gloves aftercare treatment requires appropriate tests to be carried out. The glove offers protection against puncturing with pointed objects in the sense of DIN EN 388:2016, but there is no protection against pointed objects such as injection needles. The glove offers some protection against accidental contact with chemicals but is not a protective glove against chemicals and microorganisms in the sense of DIN EN 374-1:2016 +A1:2018. We also point out that firefighter gloves should fit with the sleeves of the protective clothing so that the skin is not exposed when the arms are stretched out.
