3.6 The both ends of sanitary absorbent pads (panty liner) shall be firmly sealed.
They shall not break during use.
3.7 Sanitary absorbent pads (panty liner) shall not be displaced during normal
use. They shall not damage the underwear when peeled off. It shall not have
obvious residue.
3.8 The release paper of sanitary absorbent pads shall not fall off on its own
and can be naturally and completely removed.
4 Test methods
4.1 Specimen processing and test conditions
When determining the deviation of total-length, deviation of strip mass, water
absorption rate, absorption speed, peel strength of back adhesive, the
specimen shall be conditioned for at least 4 hours under the standard
atmospheric conditions as specified in GB/T 10739, then tested under these
conditions.
4.2 Deviation of total-length
Use a ruler to measure the total-length of the specimen (measured from the
longest part of the specimen), accurate to 1 mm. For each sample of same
specifications, measure 6 specimens, which are from at least two sales
packages, at least 2 specimens from each package. Take average value of the
6 specimens. Use the formula (1) to calculate the deviation of total length. The
result is rounded off to an integer position.
Deviation of total-length = (average value - nominal value) / nominal value x
100% ...(1)
Note: If the sales package contains a single piece, take 6 packages for testing.
4.3 Deviation of strip mass
sample. Remove the back adhesive, bottom film, release paper. From the
middle position of the two specimens, respectively take 2 g of sample material.
Cut the sample into blocks. Mix it uniformly. Divide it into two groups of
specimens for parallel test. The absolute error between the two determined
values shall not exceed 1.0%. Take the arithmetic mean value as the
determination result, which is rounded off to one decimal place.
Note: Try to shorten the sampling time, which is usually not more than 2 min. If the
mass of a single specimen is less than 2 g, it may be sampled from multiple pieces.
4.8 Formaldehyde content
The formaldehyde content is determined by acetylacetone-visible
spectrophotometry according to GB/T 34448-2017. When sampling, remove
the outer packaging and release paper of the single-piece sanitary absorbent
pads (panty liner). From the both ends and middle position, cut the specimen,
which shall contain each layer of materials.
4.9 Migratory fluorescent substance
The migratory fluorescent substance is determined in accordance with
Appendix D.
4.10 Peel strength of back adhesive
The peel strength of the back adhesive is determined according to Appendix E.
4.11 Hygienic indicators
The hygienic indicators are determined according to GB 15979.
5 Inspection rules
5.1 Requirements for inspection lot
Take one delivery as a batch. The unit of the inspection sample is box. Each
batch contains not more than 5000 boxes
5.2 Sampling method
From a batch of products, randomly take 3 boxes. From each box, take 5
packages of samples, wherein 3 packages are used for microbiological testing,
6 packages for microbiological retests, 3 packages for retention, 3 packages
(based on 10 pieces per package) for other performance tests.
5.3 Judgment rules
When the inspected product meets all the requirements of clause 3 of this
standard test module
A.2.2 Standard synthetic test solution: The formulation is as shown in Appendix
B.
A.2.3 Distilled water or deionized water.
A.3 Sampling
From each sample, take 5 specimens. The specimens taken shall be from at
least two sales packages.
A.4 Test procedure
A.4.1 Place the absorption speed tester (A.2.1) in a horizontal position. Pour
enough standard synthetic test solution (A.2.2) into the liquid storage tank. Turn
on the instrument. Click the rinse button to rinse it twice. Follow the
requirements of as specified in the instrument manual to calibrate the liquid-
adding volume of the automatic liquid adding device.
A.4.2 Remove the curved sample holder from the absorption speed tester.
Place it on a horizontal bench. Take a piece of specimen. Remove the bottom
release paper. Gently attach it to the curved test area of the curved sample
holder. When attaching it, the front end of the specimen is on the left (L) side of
the curved sample holder, the rear end is on the right (R) side of the curved
sample holder, the center line of the wing (perpendicular to the pad) is aligned
to the line corresponding to the liquid discharge port of the base. Attach the
wings to both sides of the curved sample holder. Then put the curved sample
holder to which the specimen is attached n a fixed position of the absorption
speed tester.
A.4.3 Enter the test interface of the absorption speed tester. Set the thickness
of specimen, to ensure that the standard test module can fall freely onto the
specimen’s surface. Click the test. The automatic liquid adding device adds (5.0
± 0.1) mL of standard synthetic test solution to the standard test module. The
timer automatically starts timekeeping, until the liquid level disappears at the
lowest point of the absorption zone. Automatically stop timekeeping.
A.4.4 After the test is completed, use a clean tissue paper to wipe the bottom
of the standard test module clean. Remove the curved sample holder. Tear off
the tested specimen. Prepare for the next test.
A.4.5 From each sample, measure at least 5 valid data.
A.4.6 After all tests have been completed, use distilled water or deionized water
to clean the absorption speed tester and standard test module.

Determination of peel strength of back adhesive
E.1 Principle
Attach the standard jersey to the back adhesive of the sanitary absorbent pads
(panty liner). After being treated for a certain period of time under the specified
conditions, carry out 180° peeling off against the sanitary absorbent pads (panty
liner) from the standard jersey. Calculate the average peeling force within the
specified peeling displacement. Use the average peeling force to indicate the
peel strength of the back adhesive of the sanitary absorbent pads (panty liner).

1) mm. The range is 0 ~ 30 N. During the test, it may obtain at least 20 effective
peel force values per second.
E.2.2 Counterweight: The length is (80 ± 1) mm. The width is (62 ± 1) mm. the
mass is (500 ± 5) g. It is made of stainless-steel or other materials.
E.2.3 Oven: It may maintain the temperature at (37 ± 2) °C.
E.2.4 Standard jersey: Unbleached dyed worsted, without post-treatment. It is
quantitatively fixed at 120 g/m2 ~ 140 g/m2. The length is (120 ± 1) mm. The
width is (65 ± 1) mm. The elongation at break along the length direction is less
than or equal to 25.0%.
E.2.5 Flat plate: It is glass or metal material, square-shaped; the size is selected
according to the test sample and the size of the constant-temperature oven.
E.3 Collection and pre-test treatment of specimen

least two sales packages. Before preparation of specimen, the sanitary
absorbent pads and standard jersey to be tested shall be placed at a
temperature of (23 ± 1) °C and a relative humidity of (50 ± 2)% for more than 4
h.
