MICROFINISH™ nitrile double-dipped coating offers dexterity and better performance in wet, oily and dry conditions Fully 360° dipped for superior water resistance Advanced coating technology virtually eliminates strikethrough 13-gauge seamless liner for a snug fit Automotive Oily material handling Engineering Assembly Machine operation EN 388:2003 The standard for certifying protective gloves against mechanical risks. The numbers under the shield represent (L to R) resistance to abrasion, cut (coup test), tear and puncture.
EN 388:2016 Updates the EN 388:2008 standard. It continues the previous test’s methods with some alterations including a change to the way the coup cut test is carried out (the second figure giving the coup cut resistance rating may be expressed as 'X' if the glove is not tested under the coup test or if the rolling blade becomes blunt before the test is completed). It adds a fifth letter (A to F, with F being highest) for cut resistance using the sliding blade TDM test and a sixth letter to indicate impact protection, expressed as 'P' for pass. If the glove does not provide impact protection the sixth figure is left out, or sometimes 'F' (fail).
