Foreword
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide
federation of national standards bodies (IS0 member bodies). The work
of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through IS0
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for
which a technical committee has been established has the right to be
represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental
and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. IS0
collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission
(IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are
circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting
a vote.
International Standard IS0 4074-9 was prepared by Technical Committee
ISOJTC 157, Mechanical contraceptives.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition
(IS0 4074-9:1980), of which it constitutes a technical revision.
IS0 4074 consists of the following parts, under the general title Rubber
condoms:
- Part I: Requirements
- Part 2: De termination of length
- Part 3: Determination of width
- Part 5: Testing for holes - Water leak test
- Part 6: Determination of bursting volume and pressure
- Part 7: Oven conditioning
- Part 9: Determination of tensile properties
- Part 10: Packaging and labelling - Condoms in consumer packages
