  • Abstract:
    This International Standard specifies a method for the determination of readily removable surface powder on the surface of gloves for medical use. Two methods are specified: Method A for Powdered gloves and Method B and C for Powder-free gloves. This Standard does not address safety issues that may be associated with the presence of powder on gloves nor does it prescribe limits on the amounts that may be present. The applicability of this Standard to medical gloves not made from rubber has not been established.
