GSO ASTM D7907:2021 Scope
1.1 The methods herein specify two analytical tests for
quantitatively evaluating surface bactericidal efficacy of medical examination gloves incorporated with bactericidal properties. They may be used for the determination of bactericidal
activity on either the outer or inner glove surface. The methods
incorporate bacterial challenges in two different formats:
Method (A) a saline or buffered saline solution, and Method
(B) a saline or buffered saline solution containing an organic
load. Each method represents a different means of microbial
contamination that can be expected in the healthcare environment.
1.2 Methods described herein are not appropriate for
virucidal, fungicidal, tuberculocidal or sporicidal evaluations
as each of these categories require unique culture techniques
and testing conditions. Results of the test methods described in
this document are limited to bactericidal efficacy against
vegetative bacteria.
1.3 A more expansive glove description, such as broad
spectrum antimicrobial efficacy, would require testing of a
broader list of microbial species than vegetative bacteria alone.
It is recommended that interested manufacturers discuss species and strain selections with appropriate regulatory agencies
before testing is commenced.
1.4 Testing is to be performed by individuals trained in
microbiological techniques under appropriate controlled conditions to ensure integrity of results and personnel safety.
1.5 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as
standard. No other units of measurement are included in this
standard.
