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.
The mechanical level of performance refers to the palm of the glove. Gloves
with two or more layers the overall classification does not necessarily
reflect the performance of the outermost layer. Performance levels are only
applicable to the whole product including all layers. Firefighting gloves are
not intended for deliberate handling of liquid chemicals, but provide some
protection against accidental contact with chemicals.
