Standard Specification for Color-Coding Pipets or Containers Coated With Anticoagulants
ABSTRACT
This specification establishes a color-coding system to identify the anticoagulants used in coating pipets or containers not exceeding 1 mL in volume. Its purpose is to ensure that if a color code is used with an anticoagulant, all manufacturers will be encouraged, though not required, to use the same code.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers a system to identify the anticoagulants used in coating pipets or containers not exceeding 1 mL in volume.
1.2 The purpose of this specification is to ensure that if a color code is used with an anticoagulant, all manufacturers will be encouraged to use the same code; it is not intended to require color coding.
1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

the table.

3.1 The color code shall consist of a color band 1-3 mm wide which shall completely encircle the pipet in a plane perpendicular
to its longitudinal axis.
