Differing standards of performance are often indicated by the statement of numbers, typically within the range of
0-5. The lower the number, the lower the performance level.
Example: A glove for general use may show the following performance.
|
|
|
|
Abrasion Resistance - 2
Blade Cut Resistance - 1
Tear Resistance - 3
Puncture Resistance - 2
