ANSI/ISEA 105 is a standard developed by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the International Safety Equipment Association (ISEA) that provides guidelines for the classification and testing of protective gloves. It helps manufacturers and users understand the performance levels of gloves in various applications, ensuring safety and effectiveness in the workplace. The standard covers several performance areas, including cut resistance, abrasion resistance, and puncture resistance. By establishing clear criteria, ANSI/ISEA 105 aids in selecting the appropriate gloves for specific tasks, ultimately enhancing worker safety and reducing the risk of injuries.
