STANDARD
ANSI/ISEA 105-2016
American National Standard for Performance and Classification for Cut Resistant Gloves
ANSI/ISEA 105-2016 establishes performance levels, testing and classification for gloves designed to provide cut resistance while performing occupational tasks.
This standard, based on the ASTM F2992-15 testing method, uses a Tomodynamometer (TDM-100) machine to measure the amount of weight (grams) necessary for a blade to cut through material. Increasing weights are added to achieve cut-through on the glove material. The blade is replaced after each cut and weight (grams) is added until cut-through is obtained. Multiple tests are conducted and the average is recorded to give the final gram rating (ranging from 200 to 6000 grams). These results are represented by levels A1 to A9, with the greater number being the higher the level of cut resistance.
Tests are verified by an accredited third party laboratory.
