Tampons - Menstrual

This joint standard was developed in conjunction with Standards Australia (SA) who advised us that the standard was reviewed and resulted in a new Australian (AS) only standard AS 2869-2008. However this edition will remain current within New Zealand. For the most up to date Australian standards, visit www.standards.org.au.

Specifies requirements for menstrual tampons including length, pull strength and water repellency of the withdrawal cord, materials, absorptive capacity, microbial content, marking and packaging. Includes a classification system based on tampon absorbency with descriptive terms to be used in labelling tampons according to their absorbency range. Information to be given in an accompanying leaflet is described.
