Standards and labels

• EN ISO 9001:2015

  EN ISO 9001:2015 is a standard that sets out the requirements for a quality management system (QMS). It is a set of guidelines that organizations can follow to ensure that they meet customer requirements and enhance customer satisfaction. The standard is based on the plan-do-check-act model and focuses on continuous improvement. It covers the design, development, production, installation, and servicing of products. Organizations can get certified to this standard, which means that they have been independently audited and found to meet the requirements of the standard. The certification process includes regular audits to ensure that the organization continues to meet the standard's requirements.

• EN 455-2:2015

  EN 455-2:2015 is a European standard for disposable medical gloves. It sets out the definition, performance requirements and test methods for this type of gloves. The standard includes requirements for physical properties, dimensions, packaging, freedom from holes, freedom from powder, freedom from protein, freedom from endotoxins, and freedom from pyrogens. Test results can include measurements of the gloves' physical properties, dimensions, packaging, freedom from holes, freedom from powder, freedom from protein, freedom from endotoxins, and freedom from pyrogens. This version of the standard includes some changes and updates from the 2009 version.

  Physical Properties Tested

  The EN 455-2:2015 standard pertains to the physical properties of medical gloves, primarily focusing on ensuring they meet required levels of durability and performance under typical usage conditions. The designation that the physical properties were Tested under this standard implies that the gloves have undergone specific testing protocols to measure their tensile strength and elasticity and have been found compliant with predefined standards. The test method for physical properties under EN 455-2:2015 involves simulating conditions to mimic normal use and stresses that gloves would experience, such as stretching, which reveals both the elasticity and tensile strength of the material. Gloves undergoing these tests are stretched until they can stretch no further without breaking, and these results indicate whether the gloves are suitable for practical use in medical environments, offering users confidence in the durability and integrity of the gloves under operational conditions.

• EN 455-1:2020

  EN 455-1:2020 is a European standard for disposable medical gloves. It sets out the definition, performance requirements and test methods for this type of gloves. The standard includes requirements for freedom from holes, tensile strength, elongation, packaging, freedom from powder, freedom from protein, freedom from endotoxins, and freedom from pyrogens. Test results can include measurements of the gloves' freedom from holes, tensile strength, elongation, packaging, freedom from powder, freedom from protein, freedom from endotoxins and freedom from pyrogens. This version of the standard includes some changes and updates from the 2000 version.

  Tightness AQL #,##

  EN 455-1:2020 sets the standards for medical gloves for single use, focusing on freedom from holes and ensuring glove integrity. The 'Tightness' test result, indicated by an Acceptable Quality Level (AQL) value, measures the quality level acceptable for the pinhole rate in glove batches. A lower AQL value, such as 1.5, typically used in medical settings, signifies a higher level of quality control where fewer gloves with defects are allowed. The testing for this standard involves randomly selecting gloves from a batch and filling them with water to check for leaks. Gloves that pass this test at a certain AQL value are deemed safe for use in medical and surgical procedures, where maintaining a sterile environment is crucial to prevent contamination and infection. This certification ensures that users can rely on the protective barrier of the gloves against pathogens and other contaminants.

• CE Marking

  CE Marking is a label that shows a product meets certain safety and environmental standards set by the European Union. To get the CE Marking, a company must test and certify their product meets these standards. CE Marking is required for many products sold in the EU, including electronics, machinery, toys and medical devices. It helps ensure that products are safe for consumers and the environment, and allows for easy trade within the EU.

• Food Safe

  Food safe refers to the safety of food products that are used or consumed by people. In Europe, food safety is regulated by the European Union (EU) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). These organizations set standards and requirements for food products to ensure they are safe to eat. To be considered "food safe" in Europe, a product must meet these standards and be free of harmful substances. This includes being free of harmful bacteria, pesticides, and other contaminants. Food products that do not meet these standards cannot be sold or used in the EU.
