Standards governing Eurotechnique cut-resistant gloves

Safety and protective gloves are called cut-resistant when they are subject to EN 420 standard for protection models and EN 388 standard for safety. Thanks to these standards, the user is informed of the level of performance of the accessory. You will find this information in logo, sewn on the glove. The second number that you see under the 388 logo indicates the performance level of your glove on a scale of 1 to 5. For information purposes, gloves with a performance level below three are not cut-resistant models.

To provide more clarity on this level of performance, the EN 388 standard has evolved and incorporated the ISO 13997 standard. While the first standard guarantees the gloves resistance to cutting by a rotating blade, the new standard, in turn, determines the level of performance of the glove with the use of a sharp blade.
