Overview

This document specifies requirements and gives test methods for physical properties of single-use medical gloves (that is, surgical gloves and examination/procedure gloves) in order to ensure that they provide and maintain in use an adequate level of protection from cross contamination for both patient and user. This document does not specify the size of a lot. Attention is drawn to the difficulties that can be associated with the distribution and control of very large lots. The recommended maximum individual lot size for production is 500 000. The responsible national standardization committee is Working Committee NA 176-04-09 AA "Medizinische Einmalhandschuhe" ("Medical gloves for single use") at DIN Standards Committee Health Technologies (NAGesuTech).
