How to read the mark
The list above is the certificate list from our quality page. The notes below say what those marks cover, and how to read the other standards printed on styles in Products. Use the level on the style itself. In a multi-part code, 0 means that test was failed and X means it was not done.
EN 388:2016
Mechanical protection, read from the left: abrasion, rotating-blade cut, tear, puncture. A letter after the digits is the straight-blade cut result, A to F. P at the end means the impact test was passed. On this site, 4X44FP reads as abrasion 4, coupe cut not tested, tear 4, puncture 4, straight-blade cut F, impact passed.
ANSI Cut
A cut scale running from A1 to A9. The letter on the style is that glove’s rating. The 4X44FP rescue glove is also marked ANSI Cut A8.
EN 13594
Impact protection used on motorcycle gloves. It is printed on the 4X44FP rescue style together with EN 388.
