Quality Control

Why just Innotex?

Reliability, safety and comfort are three qualities that the condom is to be featured with. All they are united in "Innotex" condoms, cause:

• Innotex is produced by the noble pharmaceutical company that appreciates its brand and reputation.
• Innotex is sold only in the Pharmacies, that ensures the protection from the counterfeit and the respect of storage conditions.
• Innotex  is the time-proved brand.

How Innotex condoms are tested?

After the humanity had realized the danger born by the transfer of the infections during the sexual contacts, a lot of states approved the regulations related to the condoms quality control and establishment of warranties of their impenetrability for AIDS virus.

In order to conform to NF norm (NF is the French condom quality standard, and, at the same time the evidence of its conformity to the common European quality standards), Innotex condoms are to pass the sequence of tests:

Condom quality control tests provide for injection inside it at least 15 l of the pressed air, for its placement in the oven with the temperature 70°C  for 166 hours, for its freezing at temperature -23°C  during 12–96 hours.

The requirements fixed for the condoms

In addition, there are the also the regulations related to the following issues:

• Condom weight (at least 1,5–2 gr);
• Condom lot packing (it is to bear maximum information);
• Condom individual packing (it should be thick, opaque, waterproof, with the expiry date);
• Condom sizes.

The sizes of Innotex condoms

Why are the requirements as to the sizes of the condoms so important? It is well-known that the major producers of the condoms are the countries of Asia: Thailand, Malaysia, Taiwan, Japan, etc.  That is quiet natural: particularly these countries are the producers of the natural latex (the caoutchouc trees grow exactly there). In the past the condoms, produced by these countries and exported from the countries of Europe, could hardly correspond to the «sizes» of their consumers. That had especially hard consequences for that time in the countries of Africa: the enormous lots of the condoms were exported there for the purposes of AIDS prophylaxis, but the condoms did not correspond to the «local» sizes. That resulted in the negative attitude of the population to the condoms and in the further expansion of AIDS virus.

NF norm provides for two groups of the sizes and the condoms are to correspond to them:

• The length of 160 mm (minimum) and the width of 52 mm;
• The length of 150 mm (minimum) and the width of 49 mm (minimum).

Innotex condoms completely respect the NF norm. They are produced in two sizes: Innotex, of length of 170 mm and of width of 52 mm; and Innotex Plus, of length of 200 mm and of width of 56 mm; they are also in conformity with the European standards.
