Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through
ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee
has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations,
governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely
with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described
in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types
of ISO document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the
ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
ISO draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). ISO takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent
rights in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, ISO had not received notice of (a)
patent(s) which may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that
this may not represent the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at
www.iso.org/patents. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

4 Classification
4.1 General
Rubber latex coated fabric gloves are classified by type and finish, as given in 4.2 and 4.3.
4.2 Type
— Type 1: fabric gloves coated by natural rubber latex;
— Type 2: fabric gloves coated by acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber latex.
4.3 Finish
As examples, following coating area can be adopted as finishing for rubber latex coated fabric glove.
— Type A: the gloves partly covered with palm and finger covered with rubber (see Figure 1);
— Type B: the glove fully covered with rubber (see Figure 2).
Figure 1 — Type A gloves
Figure 2 — Type B gloves
5 Sampling and selection of test pieces
5.1 Sampling
For reference purposes, gloves shall be sampled and inspected in accordance with single sampling plans for
normal inspection specified in ISO 2859-1. The inspection levels and acceptance quality limits (AQLs) shall
conform to those specified in Table 1 for the characteristics listed.
When a lot size cannot be determined, a lot should not be more than 150 000 pairs.
Table 1 — Inspection levels and AQLs
Characteristic Inspection level AQL
Appearance G-I 1,5
Force at break S-2 4,0
Fingertip wear resistance S-1 As agreed
Thumb-index tear resistance S-1 As agreed
5.2 Selection of test pieces
Where test pieces are required, they shall be taken from the palm or back of gloves which are fully coated by
rubber latex.
6 Requirements
6.1 Material
Any substances used in the glove shall be non-toxic.
6.2 Appearance
When examined visually, the gloves shall have no typical defect, such as air bubble, peeling, damage, crack,
latex migration, latex flow, impurity or flow mark such that it does not compromise the intended propose of
the glove. The sample size and allowable number of non-conforming gloves in the sample shall be determined
in accordance with the inspection level and AQL given in Table 1.
6.3 Tensile properties
6.3.1 General
Tensile properties shall be measured in accordance with method 1 specified in ISO 1421. Taking
10 mm ± 0,5 mm wide and 100 mm ± 1 mm long test piece each of 10 gloves and using the median value as
the test result. Test pieces shall be taken vertical to the cuff from the palm or back of gloves, fully coated by
rubber latex.
