  • Latex examination gloves: elastic and comfortable fit.
  • Vinyl gloves: low cost for low risk tasks.
  • Sterile surgical gloves: sized for surgery.
  • Chemotherapy gloves: tested against cytotoxic drugs.

Documents to ask for

Buyers request CE marking with EN 455 parts 1 to 4, ISO 11193 for exam gloves or ISO 10282 for surgical gloves, EN ISO 374 for chemical protection (a PPE requirement under Regulation (EU) 2016/425, separate from the MDR) and ISO 13485 for the maker.

Certificates and registrations belong to the product and its manufacturer. We check them with you against the rules of your market before any order.

What does AQL mean on a glove specification?

AQL is the acceptable quality level used in sampling for defects such as pinholes. A lower AQL number means fewer accepted defects.
