Overview

EN 1082-3:2000 (CEN) is the European standard that defines an impact cut test for materials used in protective clothing - specifically fabrics, leather and other materials for gloves and arm guards protecting against cuts and stabs by hand knives. As Part 3 of the EN 1082 series, this document provides the specification for a reproducible laboratory method to assess how materials behave under an impact cutting action by a hand knife.

Key topics

The standard focuses on technical requirements and test method elements such as:

• Scope and applicability - materials and product types covered (gloves, arm guards, related protective components).
• Test principle - an impact cut test designed to simulate dynamic cutting by a hand knife on material specimens.
• Specimen preparation - instructions for sampling and preparing fabric, leather or other material specimens before testing.
• Test apparatus and setup - specification of the equipment and general setup required to perform the impact cut test in laboratory conditions.
• Test procedure and measurements - steps to carry out the impact cut test and the data to be recorded (e.g., cut depth, number of impacts).
• Reporting and documentation - required reporting items for test results to ensure repeatability and comparability.

(EN 1082-3:2000 does not get reproduced here; this summary reflects the standard’s declared scope and structure.)

Applications

EN 1082-3:2000 is used to:

• Evaluate cut resistance under impact conditions for materials intended for hand and arm protective equipment.
• Support product development and material selection for manufacturers of protective gloves and arm guards.
• Provide a test protocol for independent testing laboratories and certification bodies assessing compliance or performance claims.
• Inform procurement and safety professionals when specifying PPE for industries where knife cuts or slashes are a hazard (security, law enforcement, food processing, industrial handling).

Who uses this standard

• PPE manufacturers and designers (gloves, arm guards)
• Accredited testing laboratories
• Certification and conformity assessment bodies
• Occupational safety managers and procurement officers
• Standards organizations aligning product clauses with European test methods

Related standards

EN 1082-3:2000 is Part 3 of the EN 1082 series on protection against cuts and stabs by hand knives. For a complete assessment of glove and arm guard performance, users typically consult other parts of EN 1082 and related standards covering static cut tests, puncture tests and full-product evaluations.
