A new test to measure impact protection was added to the EN388 standard. The method for testing is:
The Abrasion Test is designed to give an indication of the durability of the gloves. The performance levels are still the same but the sandpaper used to perform the test has been changed from 100 grit to a finer 180 grit material.
| Test | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Level 4 |
| Abrasion Resistance (number of cycles) | 100 | 500 | 2,000 | 8,000 |
The method for testing the cut resistance of gloves has been typically carried out using a circular blade which moves back and forth across the surface of the gloves. This test is commonly referred to as the Coup Test. The revisions to the Coup Test are:
| Test | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Level 4 | Level 5 |
| Circular blade cut resistance (number of cycles) | 1.2 | 2.5 | 5 | 10 | 20 |
The Straight Blade test can be used in lieu of the Coup Test. It should also be used if the Coup Test reaches 60 cycles or if the cutting factor is greater than 3.
| TDM Test Method: EN ISO 13997 | Level A | Level B | Level C | Level D | Level E | Level F |
| Straight blade cut resistance (N) | 2 | 5 | 10 | 15 | 22 | 30 |
DyUltra is a new cut resistant material developed to provide the highest level of abrasion resistance in the market, stronger than para-aramids.
This low weight fabric offers superior comfort whilst capable of providing cut protection beyond EN388:2016 Level F. It comprises high grade ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) materials which are 15 times stronger than steel. Flexible and comfortable to wear, it does not absorb moisture or lose its shape or performance even after 10 washes.
