2016 NEW CUT STANDARDS ASTM/ANSI EN 3 88/CE The new ANSI/ISEA ASTM F2992-15 test requires the use of the TDM 100 Cut Test machine, which measures cut resistance at a distance of 20 millimeters with a straight blade – with the cut test results reported in grams and represented in 9 new levels, ranging from A1 to A 9 . These new protection levels replace the old 5 point scale you’re used to – and allows additional levels up to 6000 grams for higher cut resistant materials. The EN 388 or CE standard will continue to use the Coup Cut Test but proposes using an additional cut test – the ISO 13997 cut test with a TDM 100 Cut test machine to accommodate limitations caused by the Coup Cut Test. This test will measure cut resistance at a distance of 20 millimeters with a straight blade – reporting the test results in newtons. This standard will add an additional cut rate to its existing standard, with 6 levels ranging from A to F A1 A B C D E F A2 EN 388 As both standards make these transitions, all future Majestic cut resistant products will reflect these new standards. However, all current gloves with the old classification system are still compliant, safe, and reliable. 6000+ Grams 2 Newtons (203 grams) 5 Newtons (509 grams) 10 Newtons (1019 grams) 15 Newtons (1529 grams) 22 Newtons (2243 grams) 30+ Newtons (3059+ grams) 500 Grams 200 Grams Light Light Light to Medium Light to Medium Medium Medium to High High Light to Medium Light to Medium Medium Medium to High High High to Heavy Heavy Extreme 1000 Grams 1500 Grams 2200 Grams 3000 Grams 4000 Grams 5000 Grams WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO YOU?
