What Do These Standards Mean?

As the table shows, have the highest possible level of abrasion resistance, and a very high level of tear resistance, meaning they offer reliable protection against scratches and scrapes, and are suitable for handling rough or coarse materials. They also provide very low level protection against cuts and punctures, so can shield against very mild, brief interaction with such risks, but should never be used to work with sharp or splintering objects.
