The manufacturing standards for Aurelia® examination gloves are established by the American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) after the Food and Drug Administration approved the manufacturing site. The standard testing procedures adhere to ISO 2859-1:1989 regulations for water thickness, tensile strength, and dimension. However, the adjoining table demonstrates how Aurelia® gloves go beyond the standard, to premium quality, in all categories.
