EN407:2004
Thermal Hazard
X.1.X.X.X.X
If a glove meets the
requirements for thermal
hazards defined in EN407
and at least level 1 for EN388
Abrasion and Tear then this
symbol can be displayed. The
degree of protection is shown
by a pictogram followed by six
scores showing the achieved
preformance levels.

EN12477
Welding
EN12477 has no symbol of its own and is wholly
dependent on the scores achieved within
EN388, EN407 and the EN420 dexterity test.
A glove can be classified as either Class A or
Class B welding glove. In general, a Class A
glove has higher levels of protection but lower
dexterity.

EN511:2006
Cold Protection
X.1.X
If a glove meets the requirement for protection from cold as defined in EN511 and at least level 1 for EN388 Abrasion and Tear, then
this symbol is displayed. The degree of protection is shown by a pictogram followed by a series of three performance levels. Higher the
number the higher the thermal protection.

Food Approved
If a glove meets the requirement for protection from cold as defined in EN511 and at least level 1 for EN388 Abrasion and Tear, then
this symbol is displayed. The degree of protection is shown by a pictogram followed by a series of three performance levels. Higher the
number the higher the thermal protection.
