Mechanical protection levels (EN 388)
The Xcellent nylon glove 3121X gives sufficient protection against many kinds of mechanical risks. The table below shows the details of the glove’s mechanical protection levels obtained in laboratory tests under the EN 388:2016 standard.
| Mechanical protection property | Result (EN 388:2016) |
|---|---|
| Abrasion resistance | 3 (min. 0 – max. 4) |
| Cut resistance (Coupe test) | 1 (min. 0 – max. 5) |
| Tear resistance | 2 (min. 0 – max. 4) |
| Puncture resistance | 1 (min. 0 – max. 4) |
| Impact protection (EN 388:2016) | X (not tested) |
Cut protection levels (EN 388)
Cut-resistant gloves are designed to protect users from different cut risks, and their protection levels are defined under the EN 388:2016 standard. Cut protection is measured on an A-F scale, where F is the highest level of protection.
| Cut protection level | Protection level | Uses |
|---|---|---|
| Level A | Minimal protection | Light tasks, occasional cut risks |
| Level B | Low protection | Tasks where cut risks are minor but regular |
| Level C | Medium protection | Metal handling, glass cutting, industrial work |
| Level D | High protection | Handling sharp objects, heavy industry |
| Level E | Very high protection | Demanding working conditions, constant cut risks |
| Level F | Maximum protection | Extreme conditions, very high cut risks |
The Xcellent nylon glove 3121X gives level 1 cut protection, which makes it suitable for tasks where cut risks are minor. This level gives sufficient protection in light assembly and handling tasks where cut risks exist but are not very high.
Heat protection levels (EN 407)
Heat protection assesses the ability of gloves to protect the user from heat, including direct heat, contact heat and splashes of molten metal. Heat protection levels are measured on a 0-4 scale, where 4 is the highest level of protection.
| Heat protection level | Protection level | Uses |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | Basic protection level | Protection at low temperatures, light heat |
| Level 2 | Moderate protection | Occasional contact with hot objects |
| Level 3 | High protection | Regular handling of hot objects, welding |
| Level 4 | Maximum protection | Extreme heat, very hot objects, molten metals |
The Xcellent nylon glove 3121X is not designed specifically for managing heat risks, so it does not give heat protection. However, it is an excellent choice for tasks where mechanical protection, flexibility and comfort are the primary requirements.
