Abstract
This specification covers certain requirements for polychloroprene rubber gloves intended for use in medical examinations and diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. Gloves shall be manufactured from any polychloroprene rubber compound, with the inside and outside surfaces of the examination gloves free of talc and with dimensions and physical properties that shall conform to the requirements specified. Tests for sterility, freedom from holes, physical dimensions, tensile strength and ultimate elongation (both before and after accelerated aging of gloves), powder-free residue, and powder amount shall be performed to assess the conformance of the gloves with the requirements specified.
