2 = Abrasion (Performance Index 1-4)

X = Blade Cut* (Performance Index 1-5)

3 = Tear (Performance Index 1-4)

2 = Puncture (Performance Index 1-4)

E = Cut (EN ISO 13997)

NOTES:
Where 1 indicates the lowest performance. X that the test was not performed or not possible. A 0 rating indicates that during the test level 1 was not reached.
