General-purpose gloves are specified by the four-figure EN 388 code, and the figure most buyers quote is the one that matters least. Abrasion, tear and puncture are scored 1 to 4; cut resistance under the current test is graded A to F on a separate letter scale, and it is the letter that decides whether a glove survives sheet metal or glass. ANSI/ISEA 105 grades the same cut property A1 to A9. Since both standards adopted the same test method the two scales measure the same thing in different units, so state which scale your procedure is written against.
The more of this you send, the closer the first quotation lands.
