Welding Glove Compliance Audit
Are your welding gloves actually compliant with today's safety standards?
Welding gloves are one of the most critical pieces of PPE on your site - yet most businesses don’t realise how much the standards have evolved, or what they actually mean in practice.
Today’s welding glove standards cover mechanical protection (EN 388), thermal protection (EN 407), welding suitability (EN 12477), and chemical safety (REACH) - each with detailed testing and classification systems that directly impact worker safety.
But understanding those standards - and making sure your gloves meet them - is where most workplaces struggle.
FREE Welding Glove Audit
We’re offering businesses a complimentary onsite or online welding glove audit, where we will:
- Walk through your current glove setup on site
- Review the gloves your welders are actually using
- Translate the latest standards into clear, practical guidance
- Identify any gaps between your current gloves and compliance requirements
- Provide clear, obligation-free recommendations to improve safety and compliance.
No pressure. No lock-in. Just practical advice from welding safety specialists.
By the end of the visit, you'll have:
- A clear understanding of glove standards and ratings
- Confidence in whether your current gloves are compliant
- Practical recommendations with gloves that are truly tailored to your actual welding processes
- Insight into where you can improve safety - or reduce unnecessary spend.
Why you should book a glove compliance audit
Most welding gloves on the market today are still based on outdated thinking.
- Many designs haven’t changed in decades
- Manufacturers often “copy and strip back” existing gloves to reduce cost
- Critical protections-cut resistance, heat performance, durability - are often compromised.
Meanwhile, some standards have become far more rigorous, particularly around cut resistance - including new TDM testing methods.
If your gloves don’t match the task, you’re either:
- Over-spending unnecessarily
- Or worse - under-protecting your welders.
The SPATA Difference
Welding gloves shouldn’t be “one-size-fits-all.” That’s where SPATA changes everything.
Instead of following the industry’s “copy and strip back strategy”, the SPATA range has been purpose-built around real welding applications:
TIG Gloves
- Precision, feel, and dexterity where it matters
- Options ranging from cost-effective durability to premium tactile performance
- Hybrid solutions that balance cut protection + heat resistance.
Heat Gloves
- Built specifically for high-heat performance
- Options that prioritise durability, comfort, or maximum protection
- Gloves designed to handle both heat and cut hazards simultaneously.
Every SPATA glove exists for a reason.
Different welders. Different tasks. Different risks.
