Standards and Certifications
The gloves comply with various EN standards, including EN 388 for mechanical risks and EN ISO 374-1:2016 for chemical risks. Some models are also certified for heat resistance and virus protection.

Overview of Standards
The document discusses the ANSI/ISEA 105-2016 and EN 388 standards for cut and puncture resistance in protective gloves. It highlights the importance of using consistent test methods and equipment for accurate comparison of cut resistance across different materials.

Cut Resistance Standards
Both ANSI/ISEA 105 and EN 388 use the TDM-100 test method for high-cut materials. ANSI/ISEA reports results in grams on an A1-A9 scale (200-6000 grams/2-60 Newtons), while EN 388 uses an A-F scale up to 30 Newtons (200-3000 grams/2-30 Newtons). ANSI/ISEA extends its scale to better report high cut materials.

Puncture Resistance Testing
The ANSI/ISEA 105 standard includes two puncture tests: industrial puncture resistance and hypodermic needlestick puncture resistance. The EN 388 standard uses a blunt probe test for industrial puncture resistance, while ASTM F2878 is used for hypodermic needle puncture resistance.

Impact Protection Standards
ANSI/ISEA 138 and EN 388 provide standards for impact protection. ANSI/ISEA 138 tests both knuckles and fingers, with performance levels based on the force absorbed. EN 388 focuses on knuckle protection with a pass/fail rating based on transmitted force.

Conclusion
The document provides a comprehensive overview of standards and product specifications for protective gloves, emphasizing the importance of selecting the right glove based on specific hazards and compliance with relevant standards.
