1 Scope
This European Standard specifies requirements and gives test methods for physical properties of single-use
medical gloves (i.e. 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 European Standard 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.
