Includes ISO 13997 Cut D (TDM straight-blade test)

4
Abrasion resistance — 4 of 4Cycles of abrasive paper before the glove wears through.
X
Coupe cut test — not applicableThe rotating-blade test dulled on this liner, so the ISO 13997 result below is the cut result to use.
4
Tear resistance — 4 of 4Force needed to tear the material.
2
Puncture resistance — 2 of 4Force needed to push a stylus through the palm.
D
ISO 13997 cut (TDM) — level D of A–FStraight-blade cut test; the letter is the result to compare between cut-protection gloves.

Read the code left to right: abrasion, coupe cut, tear, puncture, then the ISO 13997 cut letter. For cut-protection gloves the letter is the result to compare; the X means the coupe blade test was not applicable for this liner.
