Cut Resistance Testing EN ISO 13997
topic
Cut resistance testing draws a circular blade across a fabric specimen under increasing load until cut-through occurs, measuring the load at cut-through and expressing result as the TDM-100 cut index; ANSI/ISEA 105 uses the ASTM F2992 machine cut test providing cut protection levels A1 through A9 based on gram load to cut-through.
Role
Mandatory for certification of cut-resistant gloves and sleeve protectors used in glass handling, food processing, and metal fabrication where blade contact is a primary occupational injury cause, enabling selection of the minimum protection level for each specific cutting hazard.
