Cut-Resistant Ratings

ANSI Cut Level Shield IconsExperience enhanced precision and clarity in cut resistance standards with the introduction of the new ANSI standard, featuring nine distinct cut levels. This progressive update significantly narrows the gaps between each level, offering a more refined and precise categorization for cut-resistant gloves and sleeves, particularly those with the highest gram scores.

The accompanying graph illustrates the discernible difference between the old scale and the new scale, providing a visual representation of the improved granularity in cut level classification. Notably, the new ANSI cut scores will bear an "A" prefix, further distinguishing them from the previous standards. Embrace the heightened accuracy and specificity of the updated ANSI standard, ensuring a more nuanced understanding and selection of cut-resistant gear tailored to your specific safety requirements.
