Safety Warnings

No PPE can provide full protection. Always exercise caution when exposed to hazardous chemicals or high-risk situations. If the glove has a performance level <1 or X in limited flame spread (EN 407:2020), it must not come into contact with naked flames.

Performance Levels

The gloves are tested according to several standards:

• EN 407:2020: Protective gloves against thermal risks (heat and/or fire).
• EN 388:2016 +A1:2018: Protective gloves against mechanical risks.
• EN 12477:2001 +A1:2005: Protective gloves for welders.
• EN 1149-2:1997: Protective clothing - electrostatic properties.

Usage and Fitting

Ensure you wear the correct size. Products that are too loose or too tight will restrict movement and will not provide the optimal level of protection. Wash and dry hands thoroughly before donning. When removing, hold the outside edge of the glove and peel it away.

Storage and Maintenance

Store in a dry and dark condition in the original package, between +10°C and +30°C. Inspect gloves for defects before use. If the gloves are mechanically washable, they will carry laundry symbols. The customer is responsible for the performance of the gloves after laundering.

Disposal

Dispose of according to local environmental legislation.
