This standard only applies to gloves that protect hands against convective and contact cold down to -50°C. Gloves which show this pictogram must have achieved at least a performance level 1 for abrasion and tear under EN388. Protection from the cold is graded using 3 criteria listed underneath. The higher the level the better the thermal capabilities of the glove. The testing criteria and levels are as follows:
- a. Resistance to convective cold (performance level 0 - 4)
