IS/ISO 29941 : 2010 : Condoms - Determination of Nitrosamines Migrating from Natural Rubber Latex Condoms

NATIONAL FOREWORD

This Indian Standard which is identical with ISO 29941 : 2010 ‘Condoms - Determination of nitrosamines migrating from natural rubber latex condoms’ issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Obstetric and Gynaecological Instruments and Appliances Sectional Committee and approval of the Medical Equipment and Hospital Planning Division Council.

This standard specifies a test method to determine the release of N-nitrosamines from condoms made from natural rubber latex. The method can also be used for other products, such as, probe covers, prophylactic dams, female condoms and condoms made from synthetic materials.

The text of ISO Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain conventions and terminologies are, however, not identical to those used in 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’.

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