Requirements and test methods to use during condom quality control



Size and flexibility of condoms:

We check the length, width and thickness of condoms and their stretching force.

The absence of perforations:

The physical integrity of condoms is evaluated by the absence of visible and invisible holes. Each condom is filled with a saline solution and is immersed in a tank containing the same saline solution. A 10V electric current is then applied: a condom that has no holes acts as an electrical insulator and does not let pass the current.

Another test can be done with the same condom as you roll on paper towel and where there is any leakage.

Burst pressure before and after aging in oven:

Condoms are tested before and after passage in an oven to cause accelerated aging. The burst pressure of the air and water volume burst are calculated to check the temperature and humidity had no significant influence on condoms.

A condom defined as non-compliant does not observe the requirement of volume, pressure or both, or as any condom which is leaking.

Lubricant quantity:

When the condom is smooth, the condom manufacturer measures the average amount of lubricant present on condoms from a batch.

Our condoms are usually added 400 to 500mg of lubricant or as per our customer’s requests.

The packaging integrity:

The packaging of a condom is foil wrapper. It is square or rectangular, rounded, capsule, buttercup, or find even more unusual shapes. Before the condom enter into the market, we must ensure that the foil is fully welded, not drilled, that condoms are not taken in the welding or as per the ISO and CE, the expiry date and number batch are shown, clearly and legibly. If you want to custom your brand foil wrapper, please send us email: linda@oemcondoms.com
