The short answer: importing Malaysian latex gloves needs a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, certificate of origin, CE certificate and Declaration of Conformity (our CE is BRI-47173-A, covering powdered latex examination gloves only, PPE Cat III), plus ISO 13485:2016 and ISO 9001 test reports. Gloves ship FOB Port Klang under HS heading 4015. […]
OEM vs Private Label Examination Gloves: How the Process Works
Private label examination gloves in five steps: agree the specification (latex, nitrile or antimicrobial; sizes XS to XL; powdered or powder-free), approve your box branding, confirm compliance documents (ISO 9001 and ISO 13485:2016 quality-management-system certification; CE BRI-47173-A only for powdered latex examination gloves, PPE Cat III), approve samples, then go into production, shipped FOB Port […]
AQL Standard for Examination Gloves: What Every Buyer Must Know
Key takeaway: EN 455-1 sets the pinhole (water-leak) AQL for examination gloves at 1.5, while the US standards ASTM D3578 (latex) and ASTM D6319 (nitrile) use AQL 2.5. A lower AQL number means a stricter bar; sampling follows ISO 2859-1, so a batch passes only if defects stay within the limit. Our nitrile examination gloves […]
What Certifications Do Latex Examination Gloves Need?
At a glance: a serious latex glove supplier holds ISO 13485:2016, CE marking under EU PPE Regulation 2016/425 (Category III, assessed by a notified body), and chemical-protection testing to EN ISO 374-1 (Type B) and EN ISO 374-4. Always verify the certificate number against the EU NANDO database. When you import latex examination gloves, the […]
Latex Glove Protein Content and Allergies: What Buyers Must Know
Bottom line: latex glove allergy is caused by residual natural rubber proteins. EN 455-3 sets a limit of 200 μg/dm² for extractable protein (the “low protein” threshold), and many buyers specify 50 μg/dm² or lower. Choosing powder-free gloves, chlorinated or polymer-coated, sharply reduces airborne protein exposure. Latex allergy is one of the most important safety […]
Latex vs Nitrile Examination Gloves: Which Should You Buy?
The short answer: nitrile is not made with natural rubber latex and offers stronger chemical and puncture resistance, while latex is more elastic, form-fitting and cheaper. Choose latex for cost-sensitive clinical use where allergies are not a concern; choose nitrile where latex allergy or chemical exposure is a risk. Latex and nitrile are the two […]
