Foreword
This Standard was drafted in accordance with the rules given in GB/T 1.1-2009.
This Standard replaces GB 7543-2006 "Single-use sterile rubber surgical gloves -
Specification". Compared with GB 7543-2006, in addition to the editorial
modifications, the main technical changes in this Standard are as follows.
- In the Scope, modified "This Standard specifies the technical requirements for
packaged sterile rubber gloves used in surgical procedures to protect the patient
and user and avoid cross-contamination. It is applicable to disposable gloves that
are worn once and then discarded. It is inapplicable to examination gloves or
procedure gloves. It includes gloves with smooth surfaces and gloves with hemp
surfaces. " TO "This Standard specifies requirements for packaged sterile rubber
gloves intended for use in surgical procedures to protect the patient and the user
from cross-contamination. It is applicable to single-use gloves that are worn once
and then discarded. It does not apply to examination or procedure gloves. It covers
gloves with smooth surfaces and gloves with textured surfaces over part or the
whole glove." (see Chapter 1 of this Edition, Chapter 1 of Edition 2006);
- In 3.2 Type, modified "b) Type 2.gloves manufactured primarily from nitrile rubber
latex, neoprene latex, styrene-butadiene rubber latex, styrene-butadiene rubber
latex or thermoplastic elastomer solution." TO "b) Type 2.gloves made primarily
from nitrile rubber latex, isoprene rubber latex, polychloroprene rubber latex,
styrene-butadiene rubber solution, styrene-butadiene rubber emulsion or
thermoplastic elastomer solution." (see 3.2 of this Edition, 3.2 of Edition 2006);
- in 3.4 Finish, modified "There are four types of finishes. a) pockmarked surface; b)
smooth surface; c) powdered surface; d) powder-free surface." TO "Two finishes
are classified. a) textured surface over part or all of the glove; b) smooth surface."
(see 3.4 of this Edition, 3.4 of Edition 2006);
- in Chapter 4, modified "Gloves are made with natural rubber latex, nitrile rubber
latex, neoprene latex, styrene-butadiene rubber or thermoplastic elastomer
solution, or styrene-butadiene rubber latex. For ease of donning, surface treatment
with ISO 10993 compliant lubricants, powders or polymeric coatings may be
used." TO "Gloves shall be manufactured from compounded natural rubber or
nitrile rubber or isoprene rubber or polychloroprene rubber latex, or compounded
styrene-butadiene rubber or thermoplastic elastomer solution, or compounded
styrene-butadiene rubber emulsion. To facilitate donning the gloves, any surface
treatment, lubricant, powder or polymer coating may be used subject to
compliance with ISO 10993." (see Chapter 4 of this Edition, Chapter 4 of Edition
2006);
- in 6.3.1, modified "Tensile properties shall be determined in accordance with ISO
37 Cut 3 test pieces from each glove. The result is the median value. The test
piece should be taken from the palm or back of the glove." TO "Tensile properties
shall be measured in accordance with ISO 37, taking three type 2 dumb-bell test
pieces from each glove and using the median value as the test result. Test pieces
shall be taken from the palm or back of gloves." (see 6.3.1 of this Edition, 6.3.1
of Edition 2006).
This Standard uses translation method to identically adopt ISO 10282.2014 "Single-use
sterile rubber surgical gloves - Specification".
