EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, offers precise and rapid testing services within the scope of ISO 19671 testing. This standard specifies a method for evaluating the effectiveness or compatibility of an additional or personal lubricant with lubricated natural rubber latex male condoms.
It also applies to topical medications and other substances that come into contact with such condoms. Describes the measurement of changes in the physical properties of a condom after exposure to the test substance (i.e., lubricant, topical medication, etc.) and specifies pass/fail criteria for such changes.
This standard does not apply to the evaluation of the compatibility of lubricants applied to condoms during production. It cannot be directly applied to evaluating the compatibility of a particular condom with lubricants or other substances. It is not directly applicable to testing using a female condom, although similar principles may apply.
The test methods are applicable to condoms made from natural rubber latex and synthetic materials, but the pass/fail criterion is stipulated only for natural rubber latex.
Weakening of natural rubber latex is known to occur following contact with certain lubricants, particularly petroleum-based products. This procedure was developed as a screening method for lubricant manufacturers to determine whether a particular personal lubricant or topical medication has a significant effect on the tensile and airburst properties of condoms. It also applies to topical medications and other chemicals that may come into contact with vulval, vaginal or rectal tissues, and therefore condoms.
This test method measures the change in the tensile properties and swelling properties of condoms after 60 minutes of contact with a lubricant or other test substance referred to in this standard. Breaking force is the main and most sensitive variable used to evaluate the effect of test substances.
