Anti Cut Gloves and Safety Gloves in Singapore — EN388 Certified
Plony Industries is an authorised distributor of Hanvo and Honeywell safety gloves in Singapore, supplying EN388 certified anti cut gloves, impact gloves, welding gloves, chemical gloves and electrical gloves for construction, shipyard, marine fabrication, petrochemical and general industrial applications. We maintain ready stock of all safety glove types and can provide test certification on request.
What Are Anti Cut Gloves?
Anti cut gloves (also called cut resistant gloves) are specialised safety gloves designed to protect hands from cuts and lacerations when workers handle sharp materials, tools or equipment. Unlike standard work gloves, anti cut gloves are constructed from high-performance fibres — including HPPE (High Performance Polyethylene), Kevlar®, steel-reinforced yarns and fibreglass — that resist cutting forces while maintaining flexibility and dexterity.
In Singapore, anti cut gloves are widely used in construction, shipyard and marine fabrication, metal stamping, glass handling, sheet metal work and maintenance — wherever workers are exposed to sharp edges or cutting hazards. They are rated and certified under the EN388 standard, which grades cut resistance performance from level 1 to 5 (EN388:2003) or level A to F (EN388:2016).

Understanding EN388 — The Safety Gloves Standard
EN388 is the European standard for protective gloves against mechanical risks, widely adopted in Singapore as the benchmark for industrial safety gloves. When you see an EN388 rating such as 4543 printed on a safety glove, each digit refers to a specific performance level:
EN388:2003 vs EN388:2016 — Key Difference for Anti Cut Gloves
The 2016 revision of EN388 introduced TDM cut testing (ISO 13997) which gives a more accurate measurement of cut resistance for modern high-cut materials. EN388:2003 Level 5 cut resistance is not equivalent to EN388:2016 Level E — always check which standard the rating refers to when specifying anti cut gloves for your project. The Hanvo PE352 HyperGuard achieves EN388:2016 cut resistance D rating (TDM) and EN388:2003 blade cut level 5 — providing verified performance under both standards.

Frequently Asked Questions — Anti Cut Gloves and Safety Gloves Singapore
Q: What are anti cut gloves?
A: Anti cut gloves (also known as cut resistant gloves) are safety gloves made from high-performance fibres — such as HPPE, Kevlar® and steel-reinforced yarns — that protect hands from cuts and lacerations. They are rated under EN388 for cut resistance from level 1 to 5 (EN388:2003) or level A to F (EN388:2016), where higher numbers or letters indicate greater cut resistance.
Q: Where can I buy EN388 anti cut gloves in Singapore?
A: Plony Industries supplies EN388 certified anti cut gloves in Singapore with ready stock — including the Hanvo PE352 HyperGuard (EN388 4543, cut level 5) and EZ Guard DY1350AC-H impact and cut gloves (EN388 4544EP). We supply to construction firms, shipyards, petrochemical facilities and general industry. Contact Alvin at 9686 4994 for pricing and availability.
Q: What is the EN388 rating on safety gloves?
A: EN388 is the European standard for safety gloves against mechanical risks. The rating number (e.g. 4543) represents performance levels for abrasion, blade cut, tear and puncture resistance. The 2016 revision added a 5th TDM cut rating (A–F using ISO 13997) for more accurate measurement. In Singapore, EN388 is the accepted standard for specifying industrial safety gloves on construction and infrastructure projects.
Q: What is the difference between EN388:2003 and EN388:2016?
A: EN388:2003 rates cut resistance from 1 to 5 using the Coup test. EN388:2016 adds TDM cut testing (ISO 13997) rated A to F, which provides a more accurate measurement. EN388:2003 Level 5 is not automatically equivalent to EN388:2016 Level E. Always verify which standard the rating refers to when procuring anti cut gloves for project compliance.
Q: Which anti cut gloves comply with LTA project requirements?
A: The Hanvo PE352 HyperGuard (EN388 4543) and EZ Guard DY1350AC-H (EN388 4544EP) both comply with LTA project requirements. The DY1350AC-H also complies with petrochemical project requirements. Test certification can be provided on request for compliance documentation.
Q: What safety gloves do I need for welding in Singapore?
A: Welding requires gloves rated to both EN388 (mechanical protection) and EN407 (thermal and heat protection). Plony supplies CE-certified Safe Hand Welding Gloves (red split leather, EN388 + EN407) for MIG and MMA welding, and Safe Hand TIG Welding Gloves (sheepskin leather) for TIG welding.
Q: Do you supply chemical resistant gloves in Singapore?
A: Yes. Plony Industries supplies Honeywell NitriGuard Plus nitrile chemical resistant gloves certified to EN374-3. The LA132G (0.38mm, 33cm) and LA258G (0.56mm, 38cm) are available in ready stock. The LA258G is also USDA and FDA 21CFR compliant for food handling environments.
Q: Can you provide test certification for EN388 safety gloves?
A: Yes. Test certification can be provided on request for all EN388 certified safety gloves we supply — including the Hanvo PE352, EZ Guard DY1350AC-H, DY1850NM/NR and NJ506. This documentation is typically required for LTA, PUB, petrochemical and other regulated project submissions.
