In simple words

Who buys it, and where to start

Sports clubs, gyms, gardeners, horse riders and trade workers in the UK, US and Australia. Gloves are light, so they cost little to ship from Pakistan.

Good first products

Rose-pruning gauntlets: They are a good spring gift with a clear use and no safety claims needed.
Custom name gloves: Football academies and youth clubs buy goalkeeper gloves with each keeper's name and number.
Cabretta golf gloves: Golf clubs buy logo-printed gloves for their shops and company golf days.

Be careful with

Plain gym and cycling gloves are crowded on Amazon.
Do not call work or tactical gloves cut-resistant or fire-resistant unless you have test reports.
Kids' gloves need safety checks, so they are not the best first product.

Rules in plain words

What to check

Gloves that claim to protect hands, like welding, cut-resistant or flight gloves, count as safety equipment and need test reports. Children's gloves may need safety testing. Fashion, garden and most sports gloves are simpler; just label the material honestly.

Children's products: they need safety tests for small parts, cords and chemicals before you sell them. (5 product types)
Protective gear: only call a product "protective" or "safety" if it has been tested to the right standard. (3 product types)
