37、ember bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governm
38、ental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenanc
39、e are described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).Attention
40、is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/

43、rd edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 4074:2014), which has been technically revised. The modifications are as follows:a) The maximum lot size has been limited to 500 000.b) Specific requirements for biocompatibility assessments, as defined in ISO 10993-1, have been added.c) It is
44、recommended that manufacturers establish procedures for the periodic monitoring of microbial contamination (bioburden) as part of their quality management system including requirements for the absence of specific pathogens and limits for total viable counts on finished condoms; methods of determinin
45、g bioburden levels on condoms are given in Annex G.d) Specific requirements for extra strength condoms have been deleted but there is now a general requirement for manufacturers to justify any additional claims made for their products; claims relating to improved efficacy or safety have to be substa
46、ntiated by clinical investigation.e) A minimum airburst volume of 28,0 dm3has been introduced for condoms with mid-body widths that are greater than or equal to 65,0 mm and not more than 75,0 mm.f) The radius of the inner edge of the clamping collar wherever it contacts the inflated condom has to be
47、 a minimum of 2 mm (Annex H).g) The volumes of electrolyte used in the electrical test for determining freedom from holes described in Annex M have been brought into line with the volumes used for the water leak test.h) The volumes of water or electrolyte specified in the freedom from holes test hav
48、e been increased for condoms that have mid-body widths greater than or equal to 56 mm and/or are longer that 210 mm.i) When conducting the electrical test for freedom from holes, the voltage is now measured from the time that the condom is first immersed and for up to 10 s after full immersion.
