STANDARDS CHANGE. THE LEGENDARY PROTECTION OF DUPONT™ KEVLAR® CONTINUES.
THE REVISED ANSI/ISEA 105 STANDARD WILL HELP YOU CHOOSE THE RIGHT PROTECTION WITH GREATER PRECISION AND ACCURACY THAN BEFORE.
To clearly differentiate the amount of protection that each glove offers, the ANSI/ISEA 105 Hand Protection Selection Criteria standard for North America has recently changed. Under the revised standard, the number of classification levels has increased from five to nine, and the letter “A” was added to indicate the new test method being used.
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU Glove performance has improved significantly in recent years as new yarns and new technologies have been developed. As a result, there are more “high cut protection” gloves to choose from. The chart below will show you whether the level of protection you have used in the past has stayed the same or changed. With these new levels, you may need to move up in level to ensure adequate protection. Be sure to have the revised cut spec handy when ordering gloves in the future.
