ENTERPRISES, LTD
SGS Independent
Testing
In accordance with
our intent to produce the finest quality condom in the world, we engaged
the services of SGS to to do an independent audit of our product to ensure
compliance of manufacturing standards EN600. SGS based in Switzerland
is the global leader in verification and testing certification. The audits
are always unannounced. Batch samples are sampled randomly and sent to
an independent lab to be analysed. As surmised from the test results,
the samples submitted to SGS passed with flying colors. In fact, the product
exceeds the benchmark standards.Listed at right are notes regarding the
test results.
The testing was done
in February, 2004
Burst volume is measured with the litres of air that can go in a condom. The minimum requirement as per EN 600 is 18 liters and the results show that average is 30 litres with the range of 14 to 53 litres. 3 condoms out of 315 pieces were found to have below 18 liters and maximum failure allowed is 10 pieces.
BURST
PRESSURE:
Burst pressure is measured at kilo pascle (i.e. the strenght at which
the condoms burst). The minimum requirement as per EN 600 is 1 kpa.There
is only 1 condom below the requirement and rest are above 1 kpa required.
Maximum 10 pieces are allow to fail out of 315 pieces.
TENSILE
PROPERTIES:
The tensile properties are done both at before aging and after aging.
The requirement is for force is 39 newtons and elongation at 700% for
both before and after aging. 1 piece failure in this would reject the
batch. There were no failures. Freedom from hole is the most critical.
All the batches have passed with no problems.
