AMMEX’s adherence to industry regulations and standards is not just a matter of procedure—it’s also a fundamental aspect of ensuring user safety and product excellence.
Non-compliance in the disposable glove industry can lead to severe consequences, including the risk of transmitting infections, particularly in sensitive environments like healthcare. Non-compliance also raises concerns about the presence of harmful substances, allergens, and insufficient protection against chemicals and pathogens.
Put simply, it’s important to trust where your gloves are coming from.
Adherence to stringent safety and quality criteria is the solution. AMMEX relies on the standards ISO 13485 and 9001 to manage the product quality process.
Standards defined and well-met
Gloves must meet standards such as those set by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) or the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM). Compliance with these standards is a key component of quality control.
Monitoring the production process follows two different paths. The first is to carry out lab testing on the raw materials and compounds on the production line to ensure they continuously meet the production use specification. The second path is to carry out tests on the finished product to ensure it is meeting the customer specifications in terms of weight, length, thickness, visual defects, and the watertight test, also known as the pinhole test, which will determine if the gloves fall within exam grade or industrial grade.
AMMEX has detailed specification sheets that measure all mandatory compliance for every glove product we carry.
Packaging gets inspected too
In terms of packaging, all packaging materials will be inspected during the in-coming process, and—same as other raw materials—are accepted only if they meet quality requirements. As for fully finished packed products, the glove arrangement within the boxes will be inspected to ensure easy dispensing.
Compliance with uniform quality standards ensures reliable protection for users across numerous settings. In healthcare environments, the stakes are even higher, making compliance a crucial factor in preventing the spread of infection.
Adherence to global standards facilitates smoother international commerce. Incorporating our own comprehensive audits—as well as third-party audits like SMETA, through our SEDEX membership—ensures adherence to ethical standards in labor, health, and environmental practices.
