NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard (Part 1) (Second Revision) which is identical with ISO 11193-1 : 2020 'Single-use medical examination gloves - Part 1: Specification for gloves made from rubber latex or rubber solution' issued by the International Organization for Standardization was adopted by Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Hospital Equipment and Surgical Disposal Sectional Committee and after approval of the Medical Equipment and Hospital Planning Division Council.

This standard was first published in 2003 which was identical with ISO 11193 : 1994 'Single-use rubber examination gloves Specification'. Subsequently on revision of ISO 11193 : 1994 into two parts, IS 15354 : 2003 was also revised in two parts. First revision of this Standard has been undertaken with a view to align its requirements with the corresponding ISO 11193-1 : 2008. Thereafter, the second revision of this standard has been undertaken to align it with the latest version of ISO 11193-1 : 2020.

The text of ISO standard may be approved as suitable for publication as Indian Standard without deviations. Certain conventions are, however, not identical to those used in the Indian Standards. Attention is particularly drawn to the following:

 a) Wherever the words 'International Standard' appear referring to this standard, they should be read as 'Indian Standard'; and

 b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker while in Indian Standards, thecurrent practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
