23、 3 EN 455-1 12000 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 glove and such that the tube is capable of holding any of the 1 O00 mi of water that may exceed the natural fill volume of
24、 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 without damaging the glove (see Figure 1). Add i O00 ml f 50 ml of water at a temperature of (1 5 to 35)OC into the open e
25、nd 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 inspect the glove visually for water leakage. Allow the glove to hang and visually inspect the glove for water leakage agai
26、n 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 suitable means until the water level reaches 40 mm from the cuff end. Inspect visually the previously untested portion
27、 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 given in 5.1 or by another test which is validated against this test. 6 Sampling, inspection level and AQL Each lot shal
28、l be sampled in accordance with IS0 2859-1 general inspection level 1, but utilizing a minimum sample size and corresponding acceptancehejection numbers equivalent to sample size code letter L. When tested by the method described in 5.1 for referee purpose, the compliance level for freedom from hole
29、s 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 sizes which would impact on manufacturing and testing costs. A minimum sample size equivalent to sample size code letter
30、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 Testreport Any test report shall include at least the following information: - a reference to this part of EN 455; -the type of gloves and manufacturing batch code; - t
31、he 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 non-conforming gloves).
