This Eu
11、ropean Standard supersedes EN 455-1 :1993 This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by April 2001, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by April 2001. This Europe
12、an Standard has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s). For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this standard. This Eur
13、opean Standard applies to medical gloves for single use and has been prepared in three parts. This part addresses freedom from holes; Part 2 addresses physical properties and Part 3 addresses requirements and testing for biological evaluation. According to the CENKENELEC Internal Regulations, the na
14、tional standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
15、 1 Scope This part of this Standard specifies requirements and gives the test method for medical gloves for single use in order to determine freedom from holes. NOTE Attention is drawn to EN 374-1 “Protective gloves against chemicals and micro-organisms - Part 1 : Terminology and performance require
16、ments“. 2 Normative reference This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or
17、 revisions of any of these publications apply to this European Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the publication referred to applies (including amendments). IS0 2859-1 Sampling procedures for inspection by attributes - Part 1
18、 : Sampling plans indexed by acceptable quality level (AQL) for lot-by-lot inspection. 3 Term and definition For the purposes of this standard the following term and definition apply: 3.1 medical gloves for single use gloves intended for use in the medical field to protect patient and user from cros
19、s-contamination. Page 3 EN 455-1 : 2000 4 Requirement Medical gloves for single use shall not leak when tested in accordance with clause 5. 5 Watertightness test for detection of holes 5.1 Referee testing Vertically position a filling tube of dimensions shown in figure 1 or of dimensions to fit the
20、glove and such that the tube is capable of holding any of the 1000 ml of water that may exceed the natural fill volume of the glove. Attach the glove to the filling tube, overlapping the cuff by a maximum of 40 mm over the end of the tube and secure it by suitable means to obtain a watertight seal w
21、ithout damaging the glove (see figure 1). Add 1000 ml f 50 ml of water at a temperature of (15 to 35) “C into the open end of the filling tube, allowing the water to pass freely into the glove. NOTE Some of the water may remain in the filling tube depending on the glove being tested Immediately insp
22、ect the glove visually for water leakage. Allow the glove to hang and visually inspect the glove for water leakage again after a period of 2 min to 3 min. If, because of distension of the glove, the water does not rise to within 40 mm of the cuff end, raise the glove after the second inspection by a
23、 suitable means until the water level reaches 40 mm from the cuff end. Inspect visually the previously untested portion of the glove after a further period of 2 min to 3 min. Disregard leakages within 40 mm of the cuff. 5.2 Routine testing Routine testing shall be either by the watertightness test g
24、iven in 5.1 or by another test which is validated against this test. 6 Sampling, inspection level and AQL Each lot shall be sampled in accordance with IS0 2859-1 general inspection level 1, but utilising a minimum sample size and corresponding acceptancehejection numbers equivalent to sample size co
25、de letter L. When tested by the method described in 5.1 for referee purpose, the compliance level for freedom from holes shall be an AQL of 13. NOTE This inspection level meets the requirements of Annex IV point 6.3 of the Medical Devices Directive, 93/42/EEC, and does not entail excessive sample si
26、zes which would impact on manufacturing and testing costs. A minimum sample size equivalent to sample size code letter L is necessary to ensure that an adequate assessment of the quality of the lot is obtained when the lot size is small or unknown. 7 Test report Any test report shall include at leas
27、t the following information: - a reference to this part of EN 455; -the type of gloves and manufacturing batch code; - the name and address of the manufacturer or distributor and test laboratory, if different: - the date of the test performed; - the test results (batch size, sample size, number of n
