Overview
EN 1082-2:2000 is a European Standard published by CEN that specifies requirements for protective clothing - gloves and arm guards made of materials other than chain mail. The standard covers design, cut resistance, penetration (stab) resistance and ergonomic characteristics for cut‑resistant gloves, arm guards and protective sleeves that offer a lower level of protection than the metal chain‑mail products addressed in Part 1. EN 1082-2 is intended for work where the knife is not finely pointed or where cutting is performed away from the hand and arm.
Key topics and requirements
- Scope and applicability
- Covers gloves, arm guards and sleeves made from non‑metallic materials (excluding chain mail, rigid metal and plastics).
- Intended for tasks where lower knife‑point penetration risk exists.
- Design requirements
- Construction and coverage to ensure appropriate protection for the handed area and forearm without compromising dexterity.
- Cut resistance
- Performance levels to limit laceration risk from hand knives (specified test criteria and minimum expectations).
- Penetration (stab) resistance
- Requirements to reduce risk from blunt or less pointed knife tips; products in this part provide lower stab protection than Part 1 devices.
- Ergonomics and usability
- Fit, flexibility and ease of movement to support safe working practices and reduce the likelihood of compensatory risky behaviour.
- Marking and information
- Labelling and user information to clarify the intended use limits and protective performance.
(EN 1082-2:2000 sets standardized expectations rather than prescribing a single material or construction method.)
Applications and users
- Typical applications: food processing, butchery, general handling where cutting tools are used away from the hand, light assembly, and other low‑to‑moderate risk cutting tasks.
- Who uses this standard:
- PPE manufacturers developing non‑metallic cut‑resistant gloves and arm guards.
- Occupational safety professionals selecting hand and forearm protection for workplaces.
- Procurement teams and compliance officers ensuring products meet recognized European performance criteria.
- Test laboratories assessing glove and arm guard performance against EN 1082-2 requirements.
Related standards
- EN 1082 Part 1 (chain mail and rigid metal/plastic products) - covers higher protection levels.
- This part can be used alongside general mechanical risk glove standards (for example, performance classification standards) to provide a full picture of glove capability and workplace suitability.
EN 1082-2:2000 helps manufacturers and safety professionals specify and select appropriate cut‑resistant gloves, arm guards and protective sleeves when metal chain mail is not required and reduced protection levels are acceptable.
