Glove Quality
Surgical Glove Quality
Quality specifications are written into each National Standard for a
product. They relate to physical requirements like strength,
thickness, measurements, performance, and freedom from holes.
Standards specifications require a statistical sample scheme which, if
passed, mathematically ensures a maximum potential number of defined
faults per 100 units. This is called an AQL (Acceptable Quality Level).
Batches of product are rejected by the manufacturer if the number of
faults exceeds this number.
Each Standard Organization has varying requirements to be met. They
arrange factory inspections before granting a Certificate of Standards
Conformity.
Ansell gloves - achieving standards, worldwide
Ansell gloves are used worldwide, so our gloves must conform to
the most demanding standards. We achieve this by building quality into
the design and manufacture of our gloves instead of relying on manual
rejection of bad gloves at the testing stage.
While continually conforming to the generally specified AQL of 1.5.
We offer a significantly increased level of
protection, from AQL 1.5 to AQL 0.065, and this is enjoyed by health
workers in 70 countries around the world.
Your Ansell glove distributor will also be
able to answer any questions you may have about glove standards
and AQL.
