Since theseassays quantify the levels of only 4 of the known 13 officiallyacknowledged allergens potentially present in natural rubberlatex containing products, the sum of the four allergen levelsshall be viewed as an indicator of the allergen burden and notas a

5、 measure of the total allergen content that can be releasedfrom the product.1.2 For the purpose of this test method, the range ofallergenic protein will be measured in terms of nanogram tomicrogram quantities per gram or unit surface area of a naturalrubber containing product.1.3 The test method is

6、not designed to evaluate the potentialof natural rubber containing materials to induce or elicit TypeI (IgE-mediated) hypersensitivity reactions.1.4 This test method should be used under controlledlaboratory conditions to detect and quantify the level of 4allergenic proteins found in natural rubber

7、containing products.It should not be used to describe, appraise or assess the hazardor risk of these natural rubber containing materials or productsunder actual in use conditions.1.5 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded asstandard. No other units of measurement are included in thisstanda

8、rd.1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2. Reference
