    ANSI 105 and EN 388 are both standards for testing cut resistance in gloves. ANSI 105 is the US standard while EN 388 is the European standard. The 2016 revisions of both standards introduced new cut tests, with EN 388 specifying two cut tests - a blade cut test and an ISO 13997 pull test. Both standards measure cut resistance on a scale with ANSI 105 using cut levels 1 through 5 while EN 388 uses six performance levels labeled A through F.
