Scope:

This International Standard specifies requirements for oropharyngeal airways of plastics materials 
and/or rubber, including those with a reinforcement insert made of plastics materials and/or metal.
This International Standard is not applicable to metal oropharyngeal airways, nor to requirements 
concerning flammability of oropharyngeal airways.
Flammability of oropharyngeal airways, for example, if flammable anaesthetics, electrosurgical units, 
or lasers are used, is a well-recognized hazard. It is addressed by appropriate clinical management, 
which is outside the scope of this International Standard.
This International Standard is not applicable to supralaryngeal airways without an internal, integral 
sealing mechanism.

Project need:

To review the Standard within the required 5 year period
