Testing Standards
ANSI Cut Level: A1
Test Method: ASTM F2992-15
The new edition of the ANSI/ISEA 105 Standard (2016 ed.) also outlines a new test method for determining the new cut scores. The new ASTM F2992-15 test method allows for only one type of machine to be used, the TDM-100. Under the previous ANSI standard, the old test method ASTM F1790-05, the testing could be performed on either the TDM-100 machine or the CPPT machine. By ensuring uniform testing with one machine, it is easier to compare gram scores for a given material.
ANSI Contact Heat Level: 1
Test Method: ASTM F1060-18
Temperature: 176°F
The ANSI/ISEA 105-2016 standard outlines test methods for contact heat and scored from 0-5. The ASTM F1060-18 test is used to test conductive heat resistance against gloves and PPE. Measuring the highest contact temperature for which the time to second-degree burn is at least 15 seconds and the alarm time is at least four seconds.
