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 ISO 21420:2020.
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.

DESCRIPTION

The high-tech product from Penkert with ideal conditions for extreme firefighting operations. The FIREDEVIL 911 X-TREME 3.0 is one of the most innovative and safest firefighting gloves on the German market. It protects against extreme thermal stress as well as against mechanical risks. Shrinkage, even with direct flame exposure, is minimal. Hardening of the textile materials does not occur. The glove offers high-tech protection with maximum wearing comfort and innovative design (PBI® gold).
The gloves comply with the essential health and safety requirements of the Regulation (EU) 2016/425.

APPLICATION

The gloves should be used according to its purpose.
Before every use, the gloves should be checked for possible damage.
Damaged gloves reduce the protective properties. The gloves should be kept clean.
Gloves that have become wet must not be dried by means of heating equipment.
Improper use of gloves can cause serious injuries or burns. In this case, the manufacturer assumes no responsibility.

As a user of the gloves, please observe the following instructions: The gloves are only a part of the protective equipment for use. They protect the hands against heat and fire. However, they must not come into contact with open flames. At the same time, the gloves protect against mechanical risks such as abrasion, cuts, tearing and punctures. In cases where there is a risk of getting caught in moving machine parts, gloves should not be worn.

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 after care 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 micro organisms in the sense of DIN EN 374-1:2016+A1:2018. We also point out that fire fighter gloves should fit with the sleeves of the protective clothing so that the skin is not exposed when the arms are stretched out.
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.
