ASTM D6324-05

New polymer materials for male condoms are being developed. This standard is intended to describe the test methods whose results shall adequately describe the design and the quality of the condoms.

These test methods are not intended to be design or material restrictive. The design requirements for each material are unique to that material and shall be validated prior to use.

1.2 These test methods are intended to assist buyers in obtaining synthetic condoms of consistent quality. The safe and proper use of synthetic condoms is excluded from the scope of these test methods.

1.3 The annexes in these test methods include important information, such as that on apparatus or materials, that is a mandatory part of these test methods but too detailed for inclusion in the main text.

1.4 The appendixes in these test methods contain information intended to provide guidance.

1.5 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.

1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
