MIL-STD-168B
26 May 1969
FOREWORD
Government material procurement specifications primarily concern themselves with detailing composi-
tion, construction and necessary physical requirements. In such a diverse industry as that of rubber manu-
facturing, individual plants vary considerably in their production and quality control techniques. This docu-
ment has been prepared to define the limits of acceptable quality for certain rubber gloves, regarding
manufacturing defects other than such generalizations as "the workmanship shall be first class". Defects
are likely to occur from many causes such as variation in the quality of the basic materials and variations in
manufacturing processes and finishing operations. Therefore, the quality generalizations used in this docu-
ment must of necessity cover a considerable range which represents the best available judgement. This
document is issued as a practical yardstick which inspectors will use to appraise visually the quality of all-
rubber gloves except surgical.
