The ANSI/ISEA 105-2024 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.

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.

EN 407 is a general European standard designed to be used for any glove that is to be sold as providing protection against thermal hazards. All six tests are graded on a scale from 0 to 4, with 0 signifying that the glove failed the test, and 4 demonstrating it has achieved the maximum resistance in that specific area.

The EN 511 standard specifies the requirements and performance levels of work gloves against cold as low as -50°C. Protective devices against: convective cold, contact cold and water penetration. Convective and contact tests are graded on a scale from 0 to 4, with 0 signifying that the glove failed the test, and 4 demonstrating it has achieved the maximum resistance in that specific area. Water permeation is grade on a scale of 0 to 1 where 0 indicates “water penetration after 30 minutes” and 1 indicates “no water penetration after 30 minutes”.

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.

PIP® has collaborated with global partners like Dyneema® to develop bio-based ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber delivers the same performance as conventional HPPE fibers, but with a lower carbon footprint. This innovative technique utilizes the mass balance approach and further reduces our reliance on fossil fuel-based resources.

New edition ANSI/ISEA 105-2024 outlines a new test method for determining cut scores and a revised scale from A1-A9. Click here for more information about the new testing standard.
