6.3.1 General
Tensile properties shall be measured using a tensile tester in accordance with ISO 5893, Class 1 .0 or better. The speed of the testing machine shall be 500 mm/min ± 1 0 mm/min. Dumb-bell test pieces shall be cut using a type 2 dumb- bell cutter as specified in ISO 37, taking three test pieces from each glove and using the median value as the test result for each individual glove tested. Test pieces shall be taken from the palm or back of the gloves, with the long axis parallel to the fingers.
6.3.2 Protection of samples and test pieces
Samples and test pieces shall be protected as completely as possible from light and heat prior to testing.
6.3.3 Conditioning of samples
Condition all samples, at a standard laboratory temperature, without humidity control, for not less than 3 h prior to cutting out the test pieces.
6.3.4 Force at break and elongation at break before accelerated ageing
When determined in accordance with Clauses 6.3.1 to 6.3.3, the tensile properties shall be as specified in Table 3.
NOTE The requirements of Clauses 6.3.1 to 6.3.4 are intended to mirror those of ISO 37, as far as is possible, in view of the type of test piece available.
6.3.5 Force at break and elongation at break after accelerated ageing
Accelerated ageing shall be conducted in accordance with the method specified in ISO 1 88. Test pieces can be prepared either by ageing the gloves at 70°C ± 2°C for 1 68 h ± 2 h and cutting the test pieces from the aged gloves, or by cutting the test pieces from unaged gloves and ageing the test pieces at 70°C ± 2°C for 1 68 h ± 2 h. Tensile testing is then conducted as described in Clause 6.3.4. The results shall comply with the requirements given in Table 3, using the inspection level and AQL given in Table 1 .
When the tests are being conducted to verify compliance, testing shall be conducted within two months of the date of receipt of the gloves from the manufacturer. For gloves that are older than 3 months from the date of manufacture or for which the date of manufacture is not known, the tensile properties need only conform to the “after accelerated ageing” values in Table 3.
