Specifies the performance requirements for all kinds of protective gloves with regard to physical and mechanical aggressions caused by abrasion, blade cut, puncture, tear and impact cut. This Standard is not applicable to antivibration gloves. This Standard is technically equivalent to and reproduced from EN 388:1994.

This European Standard is applicable to all kinds of protective gloves with regards to physical and mechanical aggressions caused by abrasion, blade cut, puncture, tear and impact cut. This standard is not applicable to antivibration gloves.
