Cut Resistance (ISO 13997 Test): The ISO 13997 test runs a straight blade over the sample, replacing the blade after each cut, the Newtons of force applied to the blade is adjustable so that it can give a more accurate level of cut resistance for gloves that naturally blunt blades. Newtons of Force Newtons of Force Pass Fail Not Tested Level Level Level No Marking Impact Resistance: Other than the fingers, each area where impact protection is claimed shall be tested for impact attenuation by measuring the peak transmitted force. To test the glove, the area of protection is secured over a domed anvil and is impacted at an energy of 5J. Puncture Resistance: Samples are taken from the palm of a glove and the force required to penetrate the sample with a defined stylus using a tensile test machine is measured. The score based off the Newtons of force required to penetrate through the sample. 261
