SI 426 part 1 - Single-use rubber gloves: Sterile surgical gloves; (6 page(s), in Hebrew), (20 page(s), in English)

Revision of the Mandatory Standard SI 426 part 1, dealing with sterile surgical gloves. This proposed standard revision adopts both the International Standard ISO 10282 − Third edition: 2014-02-01 and the American Standard ASTM D3577 – 19, allowing for compliance with either. The major differences between the old version and this new revised draft standard are due to changes introduced to the American route of compliance as follows:

·        Deletes the requirement to cut the glove for testing its width;

·        Adds Section 8.5.2.3 dealing with the accelerated aging test.

Both the old standard and this new revised standard will apply from entry into force of this revision for a period of one year. During this time, products may be tested according to the old or the new revised standard.
