EN ISO 13997

Resistance to cutting by sharp objects (TDM method)

A test-method standard: a single stroke of a straight blade measures, in newtons, the force needed for cut-through. It yields the A–F letter on glove markings; for blade-blunting materials it is the governing result.

Laboratory testing

Independent laboratory measurement of the properties behind this standard's requirements — for development, verification, disputes.
