Electricians’ gloves / gauntlets are designed for use by qualified personnel working with live electrical equipment. They protect the wearer against electrical shocks up to the corresponding voltage for each class of glove / gauntlets. All gloves are manufactured and tested to the BSI Standard BS EN 60903.

Product Details:

What classes of protection are available?

• Class 00: Tested voltage 2000V (Working voltage 500V)
• Class  0: Tested voltage 5000V (Working voltage 1000V)
• Class  1: Tested voltage 10,000V (Working voltage 7500V)
• Class  2: Tested voltage 20,000V (Working voltage 17,000V)
• Class  3: Tested voltage 30,000V (Working voltage 26,500V)

How often should my gloves be re-tested?

• Class 00 & 0: Regular air leakage test and visual inspection advised (re-test not mandatory)
• Class 1, 2 & 3: All gloves, including those held in storage, should be electrically re-tested within a maximum period of 6 months from the previous test date.

Re-testing service:

This covers the re-testing, date stamping and provision of test certificate.
