EN388 2016 Cut Resistant Level B Gloves FAQ
1.What does the EN388:2016 Level B rating specifically mean?
Level B is determined by the TDM-100 straight blade test, representing a cut resistance between 5 and 9.9 Newtons. It is classified as “Light Cut Protection,” ideal for European workplaces where dexterity is more critical than extreme hazard defense.
2.How does Level B compare to the old EN388:2003 Level 2?
While they are often treated as similar, Level B is tested using a much more accurate vertical pressure method. Many European safety managers now prefer bulk buy Level B gloves to ensure their factory meets the latest PPE Regulation (EU) 2016/425.
3.Are these Level B gloves suitable for handling oily parts?
Yes, we offer specific Level B models with Nitrile Micro-foam coatings. These are engineered to repel light industrial oils while maintaining a secure grip, making them a preferred wholesale choice for mechanical workshops across Europe.
