Foreword
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide
federation of national standards bodies (IS0 member bodies). The work
of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through IS0
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for
which a technical committee has been established has the right to be
represented on that committee. International organizations, govern-
mental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the
work. IS0 collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are
circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an Inter-
national Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member
bodies casting a vote.
International Standard IS0 7864 was prepared by Technical Committee
ISO/TC 84, Medical devices for injections, Sub-Committee SC 1,
Syringes, needles and intravascular catheters for single use.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition
(IS0 7864:1988), of which it constitutes a technical revision.
The major differences between this edition and the 1988 edition are as
follows.
This International Standard specifies the use of needle tubing com-
a)
plying with IS0 9626. As requirements for metallic materials,
stiffness, resistance to breakage and resistance to corrosion are
given in IS0 9626, they have been deleted from this International
Standard. The preparation of IS0 9626 has also allowed the intro-
duction of new, smaller outside diameters of needle tubing and of
tubing of thin- and extra-thin-walled types into this International
Standard. In order to avoid inhibiting innovation, this International
Standard no longer recommends combinations of needle diameter
and length.
b) Additional information and guidance have been introduced on needle
point geometry and fragmentation properties, and the limited num-
ber of tests for toxicity given in the 1988 edition has been replaced
by an informative annex that lists a significantly greater number of
relevant biological tests.
c) This International Standard permits the use on package labelling of
the IS0 symbol for “do not re-use”, but continues to require the
written word. Manufacturers are encouraged to use the symbol so
as to increase familiarity with it among purchasers and users.
Annex A forms an integral part of this International Standard. Annexes
B, C and D are for information only.

IS0 7864:1993(E)
Introduction
This International Standard covers sterile hypodermic needles intended
for single use primarily in humans.
This International Standard does not give requirements or test methods
for freedom from biological hazard because international agreement
upon the methodology and the pass/fail criteria is incomplete. Guidance
on biological tests relevant to hypodermic needles is given in
IS0 109934, and it is suggested that manufacturers take this guidance
into account when evaluating products. Such an evaluation should in-
clude the effects of the process whereby the needles are sterilized.
However, national regulations may exist in some countries, and these
will override the guidance in IS0 109934.
Plastics materials to be used for the construction of needles are not
specified as their selection will depend to some extent upon the design,
process of manufacture and method of sterilization employed by indi-
vidual manufacturers. The materials should be compatible with injection
fluids included in relevant pharmacopoeiae.
Hypodermic needles specified in this International Standard are in-
tended for use with hypodermic syringes specified in IS0 595 and
IS0 78864. They will also fit syringes of types 1 and 2 specified in
IS0 8537.
In some countries, national pharmacopoeiae or government regulations
are legally binding and their requirements may take precedence over
this International Standard.
