ANSI/ISEA 105-2024 edition is live and with new requirements in place. The most important updates you need to know:
1. Title of standard has been updated to include “Arm” protection (sleeves) to the former “hand only” protection scope.
2. NEW product marking details to standardize representation classification for key mechanical properties (cut; non-needle stick puncture; abrasion)
4. NEW requirements to classify Conductive Heat Resistance Testing. Including burn and alarm time, ANSI/ISEA 105 now requires classification be at the temperature where there is no evidence of charring, ignition, melting, dripping, separation, and there is no shrinkage greater than 5%.
5. Dexterity and Vibration Reduction has been removed from the standard but are referenced in the appendix discussion on other factors for consideration
