【 摘 要 】

The international standards for rubber household glove and rubber thread were firstly initiated as New Work Item Proposal (NWIP) standard drafts. In order to obtain the ISO international standard, several levels of the standard drafts (NWIP, CD, DIS and FDIS) have to be achieved accordingly. To develop the standard drafts, the existing national standards ((TIS 2476-2552 for rubber household glove specification and TIS 2556-2554 for rubber thread specification) and information gathering from the meetings among the involved parties, e.g., producers, users and academic experts, visiting the companies, and product sampling test results were analyzed and standard drafts were prepared. For each level of the standard drafts, the drafts were submitted to the ISO representative for circulation to the authorized ISO members for comment and voting. Then, in the ISO meeting all comments were answered, rebutted and discussed. After the discussion in the ISO meeting, the conclusion related to the standard draft was given. The international standards for rubber household gloves (ISO 20057 Rubber household gloves - General requirements and test methods) and rubber thread (ISO 20058 General purpose rubber thread - Specification) have been published and used since 2017.
