Insulating gloves are designed to resist electricity, making them an essential purchase for anyone working close to live wires. Each pair of gloves is tested to accepted standards IEC 60903 and EN 60903 to ensure they are fully compliant and resistant to electrical properties.
These gloves are 1mm thick and have been designated with ‘0’ class by Catu. This means that they have been tested to 1000V AC and 1500V DC for protection against electricity. They are also designated with class ‘RC’ which means that the gloves are resistant to acid, ozone and very low temperatures.
Our range of insulating gloves is available in various different types with different thicknesses and protection ratings. Click a link on the left to view more glove options.
*Note: insulative gloves are designed for use with silicon leather glove covers for mechanical protection
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:
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 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.
Code | Class | Voltage | Thickness | Category | Length | Weight |
CG-05 | 00 | ≤ 500V | 0.5 | AZC | 360mm | 150g |
CG-10 | 0 | ≤ 1000V | 1 | RC | 360mm | 220g |
CG-15 | 1 | ≤ 7500V | 1.5 | RC | 360mm | 270g |
CG-20 | 2 | ≤ 17000V | 2.3 | RC | 360mm | 450g |
CG-30 | 3 | ≤ 26500V | 2.9 | RC | 360mm | 560g |
CG-40 | 4 | ≤ 36000V | 3.6 | AZC | 410mm | 800g |
The following tables outline exactly what the classes and categories above mean.
