// HOW TO READ THE NEW ICON

The old 0 to 5-point safety scale has

been upgraded to a 9-point system.

Tests under the new standard have an “A” before the cut level.

// KNOW THE DIFFERENCE

// OLD vs NEW CUT LEVELS BY GRAMS

The old standard measured the weight in grams for a blade to cut material with either a Cut Protection Performance Tester (CPPT) or a Tomodynamometer Test Machine (TDM). The new standard standardizes testing by only using a TDM.
