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 |
