The International Safety Equipment Association (ISEA) has closed public comment on a draft revision to its voluntary consensus standard for hand protection selection.
The ANSI/ISEA 105 standard on hand protection selection criteria addresses the classification and testing of hand protection for specific performance properties related to mechanical protection (cut-resistance, puncture resistance and abrasion resistance), chemical protection (permeation resistance, degradation) and other performance characteristics such as ignition resistance and vibration reductions.
