In 2016 and 2018 the standard was revised. The abrasion test has been improved with more detailed information, the "Coupe" cut resistance test has been revised and an ISO cut resistance test has been added, as well as an impact test for special applications.
In order to improve the information on cut resistance, it was determined that the ISO test should be used as a reference in the event of a blunting of the blade in the so-called "Coupe" test.
