Overview
EN 1082-1:1996 (CEN) is a European Standard for protective clothing - chain mail gloves and arm guards designed to protect against cuts and stabs from hand knives. The standard defines essential safety and usability requirements for chain mail (metal ring) gloves and metal or plastic arm guards intended for use with hand knives, and it specifies the appropriate test methods, marking and user instructions. EN 1082-1 supports manufacturers, specifiers and buyers in selecting certified knife‑resistant hand and forearm protection.
Key Topics
- Scope and applicability: Applies to protective chain mail gloves and to metal and plastics arm guards used with hand knives.
- Design requirements: Addresses construction and ergonomic characteristics to ensure protection without unduly restricting manual dexterity.
- Penetration resistance: Specifies that products must resist penetration by hand knives - the standard defines how penetration performance is assessed using specified test methods.
- Materials and weight: Covers acceptable materials (metal ring mail, metal and plastics for arm guards) and considerations for weight and balance to maintain wearability.
- Straps and fastening: Defines requirements for secure fastening systems (straps, closures) to keep gloves and arm guards correctly positioned during use.
- Marking and instructions for use: Requires clear product marking and accompanying instructions, including sizing, limitations, maintenance and safe use guidance.
- Test methods: Specifies appropriate test procedures for evaluating penetration resistance, ergonomics and other performance criteria (test details are defined in the standard).
Applications
EN 1082-1 is relevant to any workplace where hand knives are used and there is a risk of cuts or stabs to hands and forearms. Typical users and stakeholders include:
- Manufacturers and designers of chain mail gloves and arm guards who need to demonstrate compliance with European requirements.
- PPE procurement and safety managers selecting knife-resistant gloves and forearm protection for staff.
- Industries with knife use, such as food processing (meat and fish processing), butchery, leather and textile cutting, and other manual cutting operations.
- Quality and compliance teams verifying product marking, user instructions and test evidence.
Related Standards
Consider other standards for integrated hand protection and cut resistance, and consult the CEN catalogue for harmonized documents. Related references commonly used in conjunction with EN 1082-1 include standards addressing general mechanical risks and cut‑resistance testing.
EN 1082-1:1996 provides a clear framework for safe, ergonomic chain mail gloves and arm guards, helping organizations manage knife-related hazards while ensuring usable, certified hand and forearm protection.
