Welding Glove Safety Standards for Industrial Environments
Protective gloves for welding should be evaluated using complementary safety standards rather than a single temperature or performance claim. EN 12477 is the welding-specific standard. It uses relevant thermal and mechanical requirements associated with EN 407 and EN 388, while EN ISO 21420 establishes general requirements for protective-glove design and construction, innocuousness, comfort and efficiency, marking, and manufacturer-supplied information.
EN 407 — Protection Against Thermal Risks
EN 407 evaluates protective-glove performance against thermal hazards, including limited flame spread, contact heat, convective heat, radiant heat, small splashes of molten metal, and large quantities of molten metal. For welding gloves, EN 12477 is the welding-specific standard and uses relevant thermal requirements and test methods associated with EN 407.
Read our guide to EN 407 to understand the thermal-risk tests relevant to protective gloves used for welding.
EN 388 — Protection Against Mechanical Risks
EN 388 evaluates protective-glove performance against abrasion, blade cut, tear, puncture, ISO 13997 cut resistance, and optional impact protection where applicable. These results help safety professionals compare mechanical performance, but they must be interpreted alongside the hazards and requirements of the intended welding task.
Read our guide to EN 388 to understand how mechanical performance results are tested and interpreted for protective gloves.
EN 12477 — Protective Gloves for Welders
EN 12477 is the welding-specific standard for protective gloves intended for welding operations. Type A gloves require higher minimum performance levels in several thermal and mechanical areas but have a lower dexterity requirement. Type B gloves require greater dexterity while allowing lower minimum levels in several other performance areas. Type B may be suitable for precision work such as TIG welding, subject to the hazards and workplace risk assessment.
Read our EN 12477 guide to compare the Type A and Type B requirements for protective gloves for welders.
EN ISO 21420 — General Glove Requirements
EN ISO 21420 establishes general requirements and test procedures for protective-glove design and construction, innocuousness, comfort and efficiency, marking, and information supplied by the manufacturer. It does not establish thermal or mechanical protection levels by itself and must be used with the appropriate hazard-specific standard or standards.

Frequently Asked Questions About Welding Gloves
Find clear answers about welding glove protection, heat resistance, TIG, MIG and Stick applications, EN 12477, EN 407 and EN 388 standards, product selection, bulk ordering, samples, OEM production, and private-label supply.
What are welding gloves used for?
Welding gloves protect the hands and wrists from heat, sparks, welding spatter, abrasion, sharp metal edges, and other task-specific hazards. They are used during TIG, MIG, Stick welding, metal fabrication, construction, maintenance, shipbuilding, steel production, and other industrial operations where thermal and mechanical protection is required.
Are welding gloves heatproof or heat-resistant?
Welding gloves are heat-resistant, not completely heatproof. Their protection depends on the glove material, construction, lining, condition, exposure type, and contact duration. An EN 407 contact-heat rating describes laboratory performance under controlled test conditions, but it should not be interpreted as permission for continuous or unrestricted contact with hot materials.
What is the difference between TIG, MIG and Stick welding gloves?
TIG welding gloves generally prioritize dexterity, touch sensitivity, and filler-rod control. MIG welding gloves usually provide a balance of heat protection, durability, and handling performance. Stick welding gloves are commonly heavier and more insulated because Stick welding can produce greater heat, sparks, and spatter. The correct glove depends on the welding process and workplace hazards.
How do I choose the right welding gloves for my application?
Choose welding gloves according to the welding process, heat exposure, spatter level, sharp-edge risk, required dexterity, glove length, material, lining, and documented safety performance. TIG work may require greater precision, while MIG, Stick, structural fabrication, and high-amperage applications may require thicker leather, stronger insulation, reinforced seams, and greater mechanical protection.
What do EN 12477, EN 407 and EN 388 mean for welding gloves?
EN 12477 is the welding-specific standard for protective gloves used during welding and distinguishes between Type A and Type B gloves. EN 407 evaluates performance against thermal risks such as flame, contact heat, radiant heat, and molten-metal exposure. EN 388 evaluates mechanical risks including abrasion, cut, tear, puncture, and optional impact protection.
Are ARASWELD welding gloves suitable for heavy industrial environments?
Selected ARASWELD welding glove models are designed for demanding industrial applications such as structural steel fabrication, construction, automotive manufacturing, shipbuilding, oil and gas operations, and aerospace production. Suitability depends on the exact glove model, welding process, hazard assessment, and documented EN 407 and EN 388 performance for the construction being evaluated.
Can I order ARASWELD welding gloves in bulk and request samples?
Yes. Qualified B2B buyers can request bulk pricing and sample evaluation before placing a larger order. Sample availability, MOQ, sample cost, production lead time, shipping terms, and technical documentation are confirmed according to the glove model, order quantity, customization requirements, and delivery destination.
Does ARASWELD offer OEM, private-label and international supply services?
Yes. Subject to production feasibility, ARASWELD supports OEM manufacturing, private-label branding, customized materials, leather thickness options, construction details, packaging, and international B2B supply. Product availability, export documentation, shipping arrangements, and customization requirements are reviewed during the quotation and pre-production process.
What information should I provide when requesting a bulk welding glove quotation?
Provide the glove type or intended application, welding process, required quantity, preferred material, leather thickness, size range, cuff length, safety-standard requirements, branding, packaging, delivery country, and target schedule. Sharing expected heat, cut, abrasion, puncture, impact, and dexterity requirements helps ARASWELD recommend a more suitable model and prepare a more accurate quotation.
