Scope:

This International Standard specifies requirements for antistatic and non-antistatic reservoir bags for use with anaesthetic apparatus or lung-ventilator breathing systems. It includes requirements for the design of the neck, size designation, distension and, where relevant, for electrical resistance.

This International Standard includes requirements for both single-use and reusable bags. Reusable bags are intended to comply with the requirements of this International Standard for the recommended product life.

This International Standard is not applicable to special-purpose bags, for example bellows and self-expanding bags. Bags for use with anaesthetic gas scavenging systems are not considered to be anaesthetic reservoir bags and are thus outside the scope of this International Standard.

Project need:

To review the Standard within the required 5 year period.
