PLEASE NOTE: all insulating gloves are made to order and therefore lead times may vary. This is due to testing dates occurring at the point of manufacture, so we are unable to hold stock as dates will lapse. We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused.
These gloves are available in various sizes; please select an option from the drop-down menu above when ordering.
Tested to IEC 60903 and EN 60903, these insulating gloves are designed for personal protection against electricity when working close to live wiring.
The gloves are made of high-quality latex that has been rigorously tested with voltages of up to 7500AC and 11250V DC. They are also RC rated which means that they are protected against oil, ozone, acid and very low temperatures.
CATU’s Class 1 High Voltage Insulating Gloves (CG-15) have a thickness of 1.5mm, providing extra protection compared to other gloves in Catu's range (CG-10). Various other options are available which include even higher levels of protection.
*Please note that these gloves are not protected against mechanical protection and require silicon overgloves for this purpose (sold separately).
The following information is applicable to all classes of insulating gloves.
After the original manufacture and test date there is a maximum of 12 months for the gloves to be issued (defined as opening the bag). The original manufacture and test date is marked on the bag and gloves. Once issued (the bag has been opened) the gloves must be tested after a maximum of 6 months. The permissible 6 months begins on the date of first use/ issue (the day the bag is opened); this date must be marked on the gloves.
For example:
We stock a large selection of gloves suitable for use at different voltages and of different class types. The table below outlines the difference between each of the glove selections.
