Abstract

Rubber gloves are widely used for hand protection in medical, food industries, and household purposes. The Indonesian national standard (SNI) that regulates quality specifications of these products is SNI 06-1301-1989, while for international standard is ISO 20057:2017. This study aimed to assess whether or not the SNI 06-1301-1989 needs to be updated referred to ISO 20057:2017 using comparative analysis. Eight samples of rubber household gloves have tested using ISO 20057:2017 as guidance. The result treated using descriptive analysis method then SNI 06-1301-1989 and ISO 20057:2017 were being compared. The result showed that only 4 samples namely G1, G2, G3, and G8 fulfilled requirements. Based on the result, several update were recommended for SNI 06-1301-1989 following ISO 20057:2017. Specifications such as letter and number size code and whether the gloves are ambidextrous or hand specific should be on the package. A uniform finish, free from discoloration appearance also width, length and thickness dimension and pH test needs to follows ISO 20057:2017 since latex allergen is can be found. Physic test i.e. tensile strength and elongation at break at standard laboratory temperatures and humidity and tensile strength after ageing should be kept as well as liquid for immersion test while tear strength and permanent set at 200% was unnecessary.
