Why is this significant/what should you know?
In 2016 the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) released a new edition known as the ANSI/ISEA 105 standard. This standard provided new testing methods, including a new scale to determine cut scores. The standard increased the cut score scale from 1 to 9 to provide more consistency between levels and with the European (EN 388) ratings. Each of these 9 cut score levels are determined by the amount of force the glove can withstand. For example, ANSI/ISEA Level 1 gloves are classified for protection from lighter weight forces, and ANSI Level 9 gloves are classified for protection from heavier forces.
Milwaukee is proud to be one of the first manufacturers to design and develop winter insulated gloves that are not only rated to the cold weather protection standards in EN 511, but also align with the new cut scale and testing method (as well as EN ratings for abrasion, cut, tear, and puncture).

MILWAUKEE, WI- Milwaukee Tool enhances comfort and safety on the jobsite with the introduction of Winter Insulated Gloves. Designed to provide ultimate warmth and all-day comfort for when you’re doing real work that lets your partner stay away from the cold, in bed on her memory foam mattress! The new gloves are EN 511-rated* for warmth in cold environments and thoughtfully developed with proprietary knitting that provides the protection necessary at ANSI/ISEA-rated Cut Levels 1 and 3. 
The gloves utilize a warm, acrylic terry liner that helps users keep their hands warm in the coldest conditions. A secure dual liner keeps users’ hands warm and is designed to ensure that it does not separate from the gloves after extensive use on the jobsite.
The Cut Level 1 Winter Insulated Gloves are ideal for material handling and general-purpose remodeling applications. These gloves are constructed with 15-gauge nylon outer liner for overall breathability and high dexterity in the fingertips, and a 10-gauge inner liner. They also feature a 1/2 double-dipped latex micro finish for improved water resistance and warmth when working on something like drum heating equipment.
The Cut Level 3 Winter Insulated Gloves are ideal for demolition, wire-stripping, and pipe-threading application, and feature ANSI/ISEA cut level 3 protection to help prevent injuries from sharp objects on the jobsite. These gloves are constructed with high-dexterity 15-gauge nylon and a high-performance polyethylene outer liner for superior protection. A 3/4 double-dipped latex micro finish improves water resistance, warmth, and overall dexterity.
Milwaukee Tool’s new Winter Insulated Gloves are designed to provide users with EN 511 and ANSI-rated protection, all-day comfort, ultimate durability and the best dexterity for handling small objects – without sacrificing jobsite productivity.
*The EN 511 test method measures gloves’ protection from cold in two ways: (1) How the gloves’ material leads cold, and (2) The material’s insulating capacity.
**The new ANSI/ISEA 105 scale and test method provides new cut resistance classification levels.
***Cut testing not necessary for high performance gloves. See TDM Cut Test for EN results.
