Scope:

*This International Standard specifies requirements for the safety and performance testing of general purpose nebulizing systems intended for continuous or breath-actuated delivery of liquids, in aerosol form, to humans through the respiratory system.

This International Standard includes gas-powered nebulizers which can be powered by, e.g., compressors, pipeline systems, cylinders, etc., and electrically powered nebulizers [e.g., spinning disc, ultrasonic, vibrating mesh (active and passive), and capillary devices] or manually powered nebulizers.

This International Standard does not specify the minimum performance of nebulizing systems.

*This International Standard does not apply to devices intended for nasal deposition.

This International Standard does not apply to devices intended solely to provide humidification or hydration by providing water in aerosol form.

NOTE ISO 8185 covers this.

*This International Standard does not apply to drug-specific nebulizers or their components (e.g., metered dose inhalers, metered liquid inhalers, dry powder inhalers).

Project need:

To review the Standard within the required 5 year period.

Note: The information provided above was obtained by the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) and is provided as part of a centralized, transparent notification system for new standards development. The system allows SCC-accredited Standards Development Organizations (SDOs), and members of the public, to be informed of new work in Canadian standards development, and allows SCC-accredited SDOs to identify and resolve potential duplication of standards and effort.

Individual SDOs are responsible for the content and accuracy of the information presented here. The text is presented in the language in which it was provided to SCC.
