Description
The
HERO
model offers ideal characteristics for ever
y
need
in emergenc
y
and rescue service. Safe working at the
highest level of cut-resistance, excellent heat insulation b
y
using heat-resistant materials. The
HERO BASIC
model is
the low-priced alternative with the same mechanical strength
for the underhand. However, this model does without heat-
resistant materials for the upper hand (Spantex instead of
Nomex
®
) and the cuff (neoprene instead of Nomex
®
).
Conformity with EN 388:2016
performance levels: (innersurface)
abrasion resistance
cut resistance
tear strength
puncture resistance
TDM:section
1= lowest power levels; 4 (5) = highest power level (A= weakest and F=
highest power level linear cutting resistance); 0 = indicates that the
glove falls below the minimum power level for the given single hazard. X
= indicates that the glove has not been tested, or
that the test procedure does not appear suitable / applicable.
Note: If blunting occurs during the Coupe Cutting Strength Test, the
results of the Coupe Test are for guidance only, whereas the TDM
Cutting Strength Test provides reference performance results.
Information on the performance level of the TDM test is binding for
higher blunting of the cutting blade in the coupe test. In this case a
Too high power level determined by blade truncation.
Even a high power level when determining the puncture resistance
should not lead to the assumption of protection against puncture of a
thin cannula.
The protective gloves meet the requirements of the European PPE Regu-
lation (EU) 2016/425 and protect against mechanical and thermal risks
(heat) covered by the standards on which the certification is based.
The applied standards are EN 388:2016 and EN 420:2003+A1:2009.
