5 CUT PROTECTION GLOVES Content • The test determines the number of cycles needed for a rotating circular blade applying a constant force of 5 Nto cut a test specimen • Comparison with a reference material and a respectively calculated index serve as a reference value • Depending on the result the material is classified into the respective performance level 1–5 Performance level 1 2 3 4 5 Index 1 2 2 5 5 0 10 0 20 0 Test method in accordance with EN 388 2003 coupe test • If the blade blunts during the cutresistance test coupe test of the gloves an additional test in accordance with ISO 13997 is required • Using a straight blade a load is applied to the test specimen once • The force applied to cut the test specimen 20 mm deep is determined and given in Newton N • Depending on the result the material is classified into the respective performance level 1–5 Test method in accordance with EN 388 2016+A1 2018 ISO 13997 Important information Test method for determining blade cut resistance The term « cut protection » is often misinterpreted with « cut resistance » being more appropriate Therefore appropriate testing under operational conditions based on risk assessment is essential for the selection of appropriate cut protection gloves since onsite conditions can deviate from those in a test environment In particular when working with heavy weights and very sharpedged and pointy objects cut protection gloves cannot provide absolute protection against cuts or punctures Moreover aspects including secure grip touch sensitivity or additional requirements such as touchscreen compatibility or ESD function should be taken into account in line with the requirements of the working environment Optimum wearing comfort can also contribute to promoting the acceptance of wearing Performance level A B C D E F Cut resistance in Newton 2 5 10 15 22 30
