EN 388 2016 Results: 3X44FP Abrasion: 3 Cut (Coupe Test): X Tear: 4 Puncture: 4 Cut (TDM-100 Test): F Impact Protection: P
EN 388 is a European Standard. Cut Level is determined by the number of cycles it takes a spinning circular blade, that is pulled across the material under a constant weight of 500 grams, to cut the fabric. As the number of cycles increase, so does the glove's ratings. Click here for more information about the EN 388 2016 standard.
ANSI Puncture Level: 4 Test Method: ASTM F1342
The ANSI/ISEA 105-2016 blunt force puncture testing uses a probe to simulate a tear or burst hazard. The test measures the amount of force needed for a blunt probe to pierce through PPE material. Results are given in Newtons, which is converted into a 1-5 scale and spans from 10 newtons (Level 1) to 150+ newtons (Level 5) of puncture resistance.
ANSI Impact Level: 1
ANSI/ISEA 138 is a new, voluntary standard for the North American market designed to accurately classify different levels of impact protection offered by the impact-resistant gloves on the market. Click here for more information on our G-Tek Impact Series.
