CHOOSING THE RIGHT GLOVE SIZE
Step 2 Measure the width of your hand and select the measurement closest to the right edge. Step 3 Measure the length of your hand from the base to the tip of your middle finger, including fingernails. Step 4 Once you have both measurements take the average measurement to give you your ideal size. If the final measurement falls between sizes (e.g., 9 ½), we recommend choosing the larger size (e.g., size 10/XL). For cut-resistant gloves, we also recommend opting for the larger option, as they have limited stretch.
Discover the Perfect Fit Hand Protection! Choosing the right size of gloves is essential for workers safety and productivity. Simply follow our easy steps to find gloves that fit just right.. Step 1 Align the base of your hand with the bottom orange line and your index finger with the left orange line on the hand image provided.

EUROPEAN HAND PROTECTION STANDARDS
EN407
Protective Gloves Against Thermal Risks (Heat and/or Fire) EN 407: 2020 (AS/NZS 2161.4) This standard specifies thermal performance for protective gloves against heat and/or fire. The heat and flame pictogram is accompanied by a 6 digit number.
EN ISO 21420:2020 – Protective Gloves – General Requirements And Test Methods (Updated From EN 420:2003+A1:2009) Under EN ISO 21420 this standard defines the general requirements for glove design and construction, sizing, dexterity, water vapour transmission and absorption, electrostatic properties (in accordance with EN16350:2014) and innocuousness. Innocuousness test now includes, pH (between 3.5 and 9.5), Chromium VI for leather products (less than 3mg/kg), nickel release for metallic components (less than 0.5µg/cm2/ week), azo colourants (less than 30mg/kg), dimethylformamide or DMFa in Polyurethane products (less than 1000mg/kg), Poly Aromatic Hydrocarbons or PAH (less than 1mg/kg). The innocuousness testing covers where applicable elements of regulations such as REACH (Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006) Annex XVII. Protective Gloves Against Mechanical Risks – EN388:2016+A1:2018 (AS/NZS 2161.3) Over recent years, changes in the manufacturing process of protective gloves has meant that the well established method of hand protection testing (EN388:2003), and in particular the test to assess protection against cuts has now been deemed no longer fit for purpose. Whilst the old system in EN388:2003 and its 1-5 numbering system was easy to understand, the development

of newer cut resistant materials combined with a drive from industry to provide the highest level of cut protection possible meant that the method for testing hand protection needed to be revised. EN388:2016 seeks to update the standard and by doing this, 2 tests have been revised (abrasion and cut) and 2 new tests have been included (straight blade cut resistance and impact resistance). EN388:2003 Standards specifies physical and mechanical aggression caused by abrasion, blade cut, tearing and puncture. EN388:2016 updates the existing standard with this new test method for abrasion, blade cut & impact resistance. EN ISO 13997:1999 (TDM test) records cut results as a Newton value - the force of the blade on the glove material needed to cut through the material 20mm. The results are represented on a scale A-F.

EUROPEAN HAND PROTECTION STANDARDS
EN 16350:2014 Protective Gloves: Electrostatic Properties This European standard specifies a test method for the electrostatic properties of gloves. The test improves on EN1149 as it requires a lower vertical resistance of less than 10 ohms. Gloves tested to EN16350:2014 can be used in areas where there may be an increased risk of explosion, such as in a refinery. IEC 61340-5-1:2016 Protection of Electronic Devices from Electrostatic Phenomena: General Requirements This standard specifies a test method for PPE products used in high sensitive areas where an electrostatic charge can potentially cause damage to delicate components such as electrical circuit boards and microchips. All gloves in the Portwest ESD Glove collection have been tested to both standards. Protective Gloves: Mechanical Vibration And Shock EN ISO 10819:2013+A1:2019 (AS/NZS 2161.9) This European Standard specifies a method for the laboratory measurement, the data analysis and reporting of the vibration transmissibility of gloves in terms of vibration transmission from a handle to the palm of the hand in the frequency range from 25 Hz to 1250 Hz. The standard is intended to define a screening test for the vibration transmission through gloves.

ANSI/ISEA 138 American National Standard for Performance and Classification for Impact-Resistant Gloves (ANSI/ISEA 138-2019) This new standard provides an improved method of classifying impact protection to the back of the hand. The test is conducted by dropping a 5-joule mass on the impact points of the glove, recording the force transferred in kilonewtons (kN). This test is repeated eight times for the knuckles and ten times for the fingers. Gloves are classified based on test result average of the tests conducted. To classify as an ANSI/ISEA 138 level 1, 2, or 3, the average and all test results must be within the classification parameters. ASTM F2675-19 Test Method For Determining Arc Ratings of Hand Protective Products Developed and Used for Electrical Arc Flash Protection. This test method is used to measure and describe the properties of hand protective products in response to convective and radiant energy generated by an electric arc under controlled laboratory conditions. There are 4 levels in the Hazard Risk Category rated by the ATPV (Arc Thermal Performance Value).

CUT PROTECTION SELECTION GUIDE
Selecting the Correct Cut Protection In order to assist in selecting the best cut gloves to your application, Portwest suggest using this 3 step process:
Step 1. Identify the Hazard & Decide on Risk of Injury
HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
FACTOR
RISK OF INJURY
FACTOR
1 2 3 4 5
1 2 3 4 5 6
No Hazard
No Perceived Risk
Fully Controlled Hazard
Very Low Risk
Controlled Hazard
Low Risk
Limited Control
Medium Risk
No Control
High Risk
Very High Risk
Step 2. Calculate the Required Protection Levels
RISK CUT PERFORMANCE (Newtons) = (Risk x Hazard) 6 6 12 18 24 30 5 5 10 15 20 25 4 4 5 12 16 20 3 3 6 9 12 15 2 2 4 6 8 10 1 1 2 3 4 5 HAZARD 1 2 3 4 5 Performance Levels Explained
Multiplying the Risk by the Hazard will provide a performance level (value) from which to base the required cut resistance. The value used for the new test method is Newton’s, following this method will give an appropriate Newton value. Using the two tables above, calculate the required minimum cut performance. e.g. High Risk (5) x Limited Control (4) = 20 The Performance Levels Explained table explains the performance levels (values).
Step 3. Find the Suitable Level of Cut Protection
Apply the performance level to the EN388:2016 levels below to find a suitable level of cut protection.
LEVELS OF PERFORMANCE TO EN388:2016

Gloves are tested to a minimum performance level so if you are unsure of the required level of cut protection choose the next level up. For example, if your assessment suggests 12 Newtons then perhaps choose a level D glove.
