This part of ISO 11608 specifies requirements and test methods for needle-based injection systems (NISs) intended to be used with needles and with replaceable or non-replaceable containers. Containers covered in this part of ISO 11608 include single- and multi-dose syringe-based and cartridge-based systems, filled either by the manufacturer or by the end-user. Additional guidance for NISs equipped with electronic or electromechanical components and NISs equipped with automated functions is given in ISO 11608-4 and ISO 11608-5 respectively. Needle-free injectors, and requirements relating to methods or equipment associated with end-user filling of containers, are outside the scope of this part of ISO 11608.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
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, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 11608-1 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 84, Devices for administration of medicinal
products and intravascular catheters.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 11608-1:2000), which has been technically revised.
ISO 11608 consists of the following parts, under the general title Needle-based injection systems for medical

ISO 11608-1:2012(E)
Introduction
This part of ISO 11608 covers needle-based injection systems (referred to as NISs) primarily intended for
human use. It provides performance requirements regarding essential aspects so that variations of design are
not unnecessarily restricted.
This part of ISO 11608 should be used in conjunction with the other parts of ISO 11608.
The first edition of this part of ISO 11608 introduced the concept of interchangeability and the labelling
designations “Type A” (i.e. interchangeable) and “non-Type A” for needles and container systems. Since its
promulgation, experience has shown that the complexity of these systems makes it very difficult to ensure
functional compatibility as defined in the different parts of this International Standard, particularly when products
are made by different manufacturers. Based on this experience, it is believed that the Type A designation does
not represent adequate guidance to the user in making decisions on the compatibility of needles and containers
with specific needle-based injector systems. As such, the labelling designation “Type A” has been removed.
The design requirements related to system function have been maintained as a guide to assist manufacturers
during the design phase, supporting the achievement of cross-platform compatibility. However, these design
requirements are an insufficient replacement for system testing of the components and, where possible, direct
communication and/or quality agreements between system component manufacturers. Therefore, given the
patient convenience benefits associated with cross-platform compatibility, manufacturers of needles, containers
and needle-based injectors shall label their products with the specific system components that have been
tested and demonstrated to be functionally compatible.
The sampling plans for inspection selected for this part of ISO 11608 are intended to verify the design at a high
confidence level. The sampling plans for inspection do not replace the more general manufacturing quality
systems that appear in standards on quality systems, for example the ISO 9000 series and ISO 13485.
Materials to be used for construction are not specified, as their selection will depend on the design, the intended
use and the process of manufacture used by individual manufacturers.
There are other international and national standards and guidance publications and, in some countries, national
regulations that are applicable to medical devices and pharmaceuticals. Their requirements might supersede
or complement this part of ISO 11608. Developers and manufacturers of NISs are encouraged to investigate
and determine whether there are any other requirements relevant to the safety or marketability of their products.
Manufacturers are expected to follow a risk-based approach during the design, development and manufacture
of the product. Given the specific medicinal product and intended use, this might result in product-specific
requirements and test methods that differ from what is outlined in this part of ISO 11608.

5 Requirements
5.1 General
Companies wishing to verify a NIS shall ensure that the system meets the requirements of this part of
ISO 11608. In addition, companies shall ensure that the appropriate components (e.g. needles and containers)
and features (e.g. electromechanical drive systems and automated functions) specified for use in the system
satisfy the relevant parts of ISO 11608.
5.2 System designations
Given the differences in device designs and containers (e.g. multi-dose, single dose with partial evacuation,
and single-dose with full evacuation), the following system designations are provided to clearly associate the
appropriate test and dose accuracy method with the injection system under consideration. Containers can be
either manufacturer-filled or user-filled.
