A sample (2%) of each batch is removed for destructive testing and quality assurance.

Dimension Measurement Tests:

The Quality Assurance Department conducts the dimension measurement tests. This group of tests measures condom width, thickness and length, to ensure that they meet the required standards.

Water Leakage Test:

Quality Assurance Personnel carry out water leak testing. Filling condoms with 250ml of water and dipping them into a salty water. If current passes through the condom, it reveals the leakage.

Air Bursting Test (unaged):

The air burst test inflates the entire condom like a balloon, stretching all of the latex until it bursts. The purpose is to measure the condom strength. The air burst test measures the maximum amount of air the condom can hold (burst volume, liters) before breaking. It also measures the air pressure level (kPa) inside the condom when it breaks.

Air Bursting Test (aged):

A limited number of condoms are also required to be tested after oven conditioning at 70 C degree. This test is intended to check for major formulation or vulcanization errors

Tensile Testing

Ring specimen perpendicular to the length direction of the condom with a die having cutting edges 20 ± 0.1mm in the region of not less then 70mm from the open end. It measure at least 17MPa in tensile strength and 700% for ultimate elongation before and after ageing. After the sample has passed the Quality Assurance and destructive testing, the batch is released for electronic testing.

100% Electronic Testing:

All condoms are individually tested and rolled through electronic pinhole testing machines, which separate accepted and rejected condoms into different containers
