Ensuring that personnel have suitable protection for the arms and hands is one of the most essential requirements in any industry; statistics show that the highest number of accidents affect these parts of the body.

ESTAMBRIL® offers a wide range of solutions in this field including protective gloves and sleeves to ensure protection against the two basic risks, or a combination of both:   

• Protection against mechanical risks (particularly against cuts)
• Protection against thermal risks (heat and/or flames)

Protective gloves and sleeves must comply with the safety standards defined in the European Directive 89/686/EEC (Harmonised Standards for Personal Protective Equipment, PPE), meeting the requirements stipulated in the range of regulations governing different risks and applications.

The European Regulation EN-388 applies specifically to gloves or sleeves for mechanical protection purposes and defines the established requirements and standards; Regulation EN-407 relates to thermal protection standards. There is also a specific regulation for protective gloves for firefighters (EN-659) which combines the standards stipulated for the previous two regulations.
