In plain words. A cut level tells you how much force it took a blade to cut through the glove material in the standard's test. A4 means it took 1,500 to 2,199 grams (3.3 to 4.8 lb). A1 is the lowest level (200 grams, 0.4 lb) and A9 the highest (6,000 grams and above, 13.2 lb and above). The number comes from the manufacturer's published test result, not from us.

Ratings on this page are shown as published by the manufacturer or the named standard and describe performance in that standard's test. They are not a recommendation for any task. The employer's hazard assessment decides what protective equipment a job needs. Verify details against the manufacturer's current documentation before you buy.

Standards-body and manufacturer charts

These charts are published by the standards body and by the manufacturers, copied as printed and shown with attribution; nothing in them is Bayshore's recommendation. Level 5 puncture is printed as ≥ 100 N in both documents below.
