How Do the TraffiGlove TG1900 Gloves Protect Your Hands?
Not only are these gloves sustainably produced to protect the environment, they can protect your hands against heat, abrasion, tears and water. To ensure a high level of performance, they have been tested to EN standards EN 388 and EN 407, and achieved the following scores.
Performance Ratings
EN 388 (Protection Against Mechanical Risks)
| Test | Result |
| Abrasion Resistance | Level 4 |
| Cut Resistance | Level 1 |
| Tear Resistance | Level 2 |
| Puncture Resistance | Level 1 |
| ISO Cut Resistance | Level A |
EN 407
| Resistance | Resistance Level |
| Burning | N/A |
| Contact Heat | Level 1 |
| Convective Heat | N/A |
| Radiant Heat | N/A |
| Molten Metal (Splashes) | N/A |
| Molten Metal (Large Quantities) | N/A |
What Do These Scores Mean?
The higher the EN 388 rating, the more resistance your gloves offer. A level four abrasion resistance means the TG1900 Gloves offer the best abrasion resistance available, perfect for protecting against knocks and scrapes and ensuring the longevity of your gloves. A level A cut resistance rating is the lowest on the ISO cut resistance scale.
The second table deals with heat, flames and burning. Although the gloves weren't tested for the majority of the hazards (hence the N/A), they were tested for contact heat resistance, managing to achieve a level 1 score. A level 1 score means the gloves are suitable for handling items that have a temperature of up to 100°C for up to 30 seconds.

The TraffiSystem – Safety Level at a Glance
Traffi pride themselves on being the original inventors of the colour-coded safety glove system. The TraffiSystem makes it easy to identify the level of cut protection required, based on the EN 388 test for cut resistance, to ensure ultimate safety.
| Colour | Rate of Cut Protection | Description of Protection |
| RED | Low | Suitable for lower cut risk tasks only, such as general product handling, warehouse and assembly line work and some low risk construction jobs. |
| AMBER | Medium | Ideal for second fix construction, mechanical and electrical trades, steel fixing and handling materials with sharp edges. |
| GREEN | High | The best choice for higher cut risk tasks like applying cladding, demolition, steel fabrication and handling glass or sheet metal with cut edges. |
