NEW TDM METHOD

The test uses a straight blade which runs once over a distance of 20 mm under a pressure which varies from 2 to 30 newtons.

EN388 applies to protective gloves for exposure to mechanical hazards (abrasion, cutting, tearing, perforation).

The aim of the revision of the standard is to better assess the resistance of gloves to cutting, based on a new cut-test method incorporating TDM EN ISO 13997 tests.This allows the level of cut resistance to be validated if the material of the glove dulls the circular blade used in the traditional test.This is the case for knitted gloves made from fibreglass or steel.

In the new method, the blade is changed for each test and the pressure on the sample increases gradually to determine the level of cut resistance (from 2N to 30N).

NEW TDM GRADING

The level of resistance obtained by the TDM test is indicated by a letter added to the 4 figures which list the mechanical performance of the glove.The classification is graded from A to F. The letter F corresponds to the highest level of cut resistance.

NEW TDM MARKING

The revision of the standard also aims to better evaluate the resistance of gloves to abrasion, with the use of a new, better quality abrasive paper and a standard sticky tape to hold the sample.

4X43 F P Abrasion resistance Blade cut resistance * Tear resistance Puncture resistance

The letter F indicates the cut-resistance level at 30N (according to EN ISO 13997) * The cut-test index according to EN388:2016 is replaced by an 'X' in the marking when •

The cut test was not carried out

•

The manufacturer did not wish to test the glove in the cut test (e.g. unsuitable materials).Only the TDM test was performed.

•

The manufacturer performed the cut test but reported only on the TDM result.

•

The blade used in the cut test is blunt, the result is inconclusive, only the TDM performance is retained on the marking.

Pres TDM EN388-2016-GB.indd 6

The letter P indicates that the glove offers shock protection The new EN388 standard also adds a test at EN13594 standard, which makes it possible to claim performance against shocks, if necessary.If there is a positive test result, the letter P is added to the glove's other mechanical performance levels.
