EN 455-2 Disposable Medical Gloves - Requirements and Tests for Physical Properties

EN 455-2 Disposable Medical Gloves - Requirements and Tests for Physical Properties

Requirements for the physical properties of disposable medical gloves in the European standard EN 455-2 and test methods are presented. This standard, which is a set of standards, has been published by the Turkish Standards Institute in our country with the following headings:

EN 455-2 Disposable Medical Gloves - Requirements and Tests for Physical Properties

  • EN 455-1 Disposable medical gloves - Part 1: Properties and no puncture test
  • EN 455-2 Disposable medical gloves - Part 2: Rules and tests for physical properties
  • EN 455-3 Disposable medical gloves - Part 3: Properties and tests for biological evaluation
  • EN 455-4 Disposable medical gloves - Part 4: Rules and tests for the determination of shelf life

The EN 455-2 standard includes requirements and test methods for physical properties such as dimensions of disposable gloves in length and width, and the breaking strength before and after heat aging.

This European standard specifies requirements and test methods for the physical properties of disposable medical gloves, i.e. surgical gloves and examination gloves, to ensure that patients provide and maintain adequate protection from cross contamination.

This standard does not specify the size of a lot. Attention is drawn to the difficulties associated with the distribution and control of very large parties. The maximum recommended individual batch size for production is 500 thousand.

These standards are fully or partially referenced in the EN 455-2 standard as normative and are mandatory for their implementation:

  • EN 455-4 Disposable medical gloves - Part 4: Rules and tests for the determination of shelf life
  • EN 1041 Information provided by the manufacturer with medical devices
  • EN ISO 15223-1 Medical devices - Symbols to be used in medical device labels, labeling and information to be presented - Part 1: General requirements
  • ISO 188 Tires - Vulcanized or thermoplastic - Accelerated aging and heat resistance tests

With the experience gained over many years, our organization also provides testing services for the physical properties of EN 455-2 disposable medical gloves within the framework of laboratory services of the materials with a trained and expert staff.
