This standard is intended to assess the compatibility of a specific lubricant with natural rubber male condoms, rather than assessing the compatibility of a particular condom design with lubricants in general.
It specifies a method of assessing the effect or compatibility of an additional or personal lubricant with lubricated male natural rubber latex condoms. It also applies to topical medicines and any other substances that come into contact with such condoms. It describes the measurement of changes in physical properties of the condoms after exposure to the test substance (i.e. lubricant, topical medicine, etc.) and specifies the pass/fail criteria for such changes.
Synthetic polyisoprene condoms can be assessed using the same test methods, but the condoms themselves shall meet the standard relevant to them.
This document is not applicable to the assessment of the compatibility of lubricants applied to a condom at the time of manufacture. It is not directly applicable to tests using female condoms, although similar principles can apply.
The standard is applicable to male condoms made from natural rubber latex. The test methods are also applicable to male condoms made from synthetic polyisoprene. The limits for compatibility do not necessarily apply to synthetic polyisoprene condoms.
