EN388 2016 Cut Level C Gloves FAQ
1.What does the EN388:2016 Level C rating indicate?
Level C is determined by the TDM-100 test, indicating a cut resistance between 10 and 14.9 Newtons. It is classified as “Moderate Cut Protection,” suitable for industrial tasks where light-duty gloves provide insufficient safety margins.
2.Is Level C equivalent to the old EN388:2003 Level 3?
Generally, yes. In the updated 2016 TDM-100 test, a traditional Level 3 glove typically correlates to a Level C rating. Many European safety managers now prefer to bulk buy Level C to ensure modern compliance.
3.Are these gloves durable enough for high-friction factory work?
Yes. Our Level C gloves feature a Level 4 abrasion rating (the highest). This ensures a longer lifespan in abrasive environments, providing an excellent ROI for your wholesale investment by reducing replacement frequency.
4. Can we order these gloves with custom branding for our distribution?
Absolutely. As an experienced manufacturer, Armorppe provides full OEM/ODM services. We can customize the liner colors and print your company logo on all bulk buy shipments to support your corporate safety identity.
5. Are these gloves REACH compliant for workers with sensitive skin?
Yes, worker health is a priority. All materials in our factory-direct wholesale supply are 100% REACH compliant and free from hazardous solvents, ensuring they are skin-friendly and comfortable for extended wear.
6.What is the lead time for a factory-direct wholesale order to Europe?
As a large-scale manufacturer, we maintain high-volume inventory. Lead times vary based on customization, but we specialize in efficient global logistics to ensure your industrial supply chain remains uninterrupted and cost-effective.
