QUALITY CONTROL OF MALE CONDOMS
Condoms are checked regarding the EN ISO 4074 standard which describes minimal requirements and test methods to use during quality control. We show you here some of the methods used in the plant.
Size and flexibility of condoms:
By a detailed sampling plan, we check the length, width and thickness of condoms and their stretching force.

The absence of perforations:
The physical integrity of condoms is evaluated by the absence of visible and invisible holes. For this, each condom is filled with a saline solution and is immersed in a tank containing the same saline solution. A 10V electric current is then applied: a condom that has no holes acts as an electrical insulator and does not let pass the current.
Another test can be done with the same condom as you roll on paper towel and where there is any leakage.
