THE TESTS THAT HANVO HAND PROTECTION PRODUCTS

An overview below outlines the tests that Hanvo hand protection products are subjected to, the equipment used to test, the test methods utilized, and the safety standards that they comply with.

Equipment: Maxi-artindale Abrasion and Pilling Tester

Test Methods: Take the palm position of the glove as a sample, grind it on standard sandpaper. Count the number of revolutions when the glove is worn out.

Standard: EN 388:2016+A1:2018

Equipment: Blade Cut Resistance Tester

Test Methods: The test sample is placed on the machine. The blade is lowered slightly and touches the sample. The counter is set to zero. When the rotating blade penetrates the test sample, the machine will automatically stop. The number of cycles displayed on the workbench screen can be used to calculate the cutting index, which is used to measure the blade cut resistance of the material.

Standard: EN 388:2016+A1:2018

Equipment: SATRA Tensile Tester

Test Methods: Take the palm position of the glove as a sample，tear it apart by pulling force, calculate the required force value and judge the level of tear resistance of the product.There are 4 levels of EN388.

Standard: EN 388:2016+A1:2018

Equipment: TDM Tomodynamometer Cut Resistance Tester

Test Methods: The sample was cut by the blade under pressure in the palm of the glove, and the distance required for the blade to cut through the sample at different forces was tested.

Standard: ISO 13997 (EN388:2016) ASTM F2992-15 (ANSI/ISEA 105-2016)

Equipment: Agilent gas chromatography mass spectrometry analyzer

Test Methods: Take the palm position of the glove (including the middle finger), cut it into pieces of 10mm*10mm size, add the corresponding measured extraction solution, and shock it with ultrasonic wave for 30 minutes to test the content of DMF in the solution. The eu standard requires <1000ppm.

Standard: EN16778:2016

Equipment: Skid proofer tester

Test Methods: Use a fixed gram weight to press the middle finger of the glove and test how much force to pull the glove to determine the anti-skid performance of the product.

Standard: Midori Anzen standard Internally controlled standard

Equipment: Yarn wrap reel

Test Methods: Monitor yarn weight under 100m length to ensure yarn performance meets requirements.

Standard: Internally controlled standard

YARN TESTING

Rest assured; these are not the only tests conducted to ensure Hanvo’s superior performance. Aside from tests conducted on our hand protection products, our internal lab also conducts various tests on the raw materials used to produce our gloves. Once again, they include but are not limited to these tests below:

Yarn Count Test

Monitors yarn weight to ensure yarn performance meets internal requirements

Yarn Twist Test

Monitors the twist of the yarn to measure the strength of the yarn

Yarn Strength & Elongation Test

Determines yarn’s performance by holding a fixed length of yarn to a certain distance and testing how much force it takes to break the yarn.

Our users rely on the exceptional quality of our hand protection products to keep them safe in a hazardous environment which is why, we strive to ensure every pair of gloves receives full quality inspection that allows for the maximum protection of our users.
