AQL Value: The AQL 1.5 indicated on disposable glove boxes represents the accepted quality level (AQL) and serves as a quality indicator for the tightness of disposable gloves. During production, the manufacturer continuously checks a defined number of gloves for leaks (e.g., small holes, tears) as part of quality assurance. By stating the AQL value on the packaging, the manufacturer indicates the level of manufacturing quality.

AQL Value 4.0: High manufacturing quality (commonly referred to as industrial standard), AQL Value 1.5: Very high manufacturing quality (commonly referred to as medical standard), AQL Value 0.65: Maximum manufacturing quality (commonly referred to as highest standard).

This principle applies not only when handling chemicals: The lower the AQL value, the safer it is! Achieving a high AQL quality can only be accomplished through ongoing, rigorous internal and external quality controls. These examinations must be documented and additionally confirmed by an independent testing institute. ISO 2859 outlines the exact procedure for how and to what extent the tests should be conducted.
