Overview

EN ISO 8655-2:2022 - Piston-operated volumetric apparatus, Part 2: Pipettes - is the CEN-endorsed European adoption of ISO 8655-2:2022. This standard defines the metrological framework and user information requirements for piston-driven pipettes used in laboratory settings. It covers both air-displacement (type A) and positive-displacement (type D) pipettes, including single‑channel and multi‑channel instruments, supplied complete with selected tip(s) and any essential consumable parts intended to deliver the selected volume (Ex).

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Metrological requirements: Criteria for accuracy, precision and performance testing of pipettes (fixed- and variable-volume types).
  • Maximum permissible errors: Defines maximum permissible systematic and random errors for pipettes and associated pipette tips.
  • Marking and user information: Requirements for markings on the instrument and documentation to be supplied to users (performance data, intended use, adjustment instructions).
  • Tip and accessory requirements: Specifications for air-displacement and positive-displacement pipette tips and related consumables.
  • Design and operation: Definitions of pipette types, principles of operation (forward pipetting), adjustment procedures and considerations such as hand‑warmth transfer.
  • Testing guidance and annexes: Informative Annex A (sources of error for air-displacement pipettes) and Annex B (electronic/motorised pipettes and methods for multi-dispensing testing). The 2022 edition revises tables of permissible errors and tightens tip performance requirements compared with the 2002 edition.

Practical applications and users

This standard is essential for:

  • Manufacturers - to set design criteria, quality control and to prepare manufacturer’s performance declarations.
  • Calibration laboratories and test houses - as a reference for independent calibration, verification and routine testing (gravimetric, photometric or alternative procedures by reference to ISO 8655-6, -7, -8).
  • Laboratory managers and end users - to select appropriate pipettes, tips and to interpret marking and performance information for reliable liquid handling.
  • Regulatory and QA personnel - to ensure compliance in regulated environments (clinical, pharmaceutical, research).

Related standards

  • ISO 8655-1 (terminology, general requirements)
  • ISO 8655-6, -7, -8 (reference measurement procedures)
  • ISO 3696 (water for analytical laboratory use)

EN ISO 8655-2:2022 is the authoritative reference for pipette metrology and user information, improving consistency in calibration, product selection and routine laboratory practice for accurate volumetric liquid handling.

4 Principle of operation
Pipettes are used to accurately handle preselected volumes. A tip is attached to the pipette. Pipettes
are typically operated using forward pipetting. Using forward pipetting, with the piston positioned at
the lower aspiration limit, the tip is dipped into the liquid to be dispensed. When moved to the upper
aspiration limit, the piston aspirates the liquid. The liquid volume to be dispensed is then expelled by
depressing or sliding the piston between the volume-defining limits. Some air-displacement pipettes
(see 6.1, Type A) have an extra air volume that can be used to expel the last drop of liquid.
See also Figure 1.
Manufacturers' instruction manuals should contain detailed and specific information about the proper
operation of pipettes.
5 Adjustment
5.1 Basis of adjustment
A pipette shall be adjusted for the delivery (Ex) of its nominal volume (or selected volume, in the case of
a variable-volume model).
For countries that have adopted the standard reference temperature of 20 °C, the adjustment shall be
for the temperature of 20 °C, a relative air humidity of 50 % and a barometric pressure of 101,3 kPa,
when handling grade 3 water as specified in ISO 3696:1987.
For those countries that have adopted a standard reference temperature of 27 °C, the adjustment shall
be for the temperature 27 °C, a relative air humidity of 50 % and a barometric pressure of 101,3 kPa,
when handling grade 3 water as specified in ISO 3696:1987.
5.2 Initial adjustment
A pipette shall be provided with an initial adjustment.
5.3 Subsequent adjustment
Some pipettes have provision for adjustment when, for example, it is found in a routine check that
the volume delivered is not within specification. Such adjustment shall be made in accordance with
the manufacturer's instructions and by reference to a measurement procedure in accordance with
ISO 8655-6, ISO 8655-7 or ISO 8655-8.
Any pipette so adjusted shall have clear, visible evidence that the initial adjustment has been modified.
This information shall also be recorded.
5.4 Adjustment for other liquid properties
Some pipettes are designed to have their factory pre-set adjustment altered by the user so that they will
dispense their specified volume when used with liquids with physical properties differing from those
of water (see Annex A for details). In such cases, the design shall prevent unintentional readjustment.
Such adjustment shall be made in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions or by reference to
the selected test procedure from ISO 8655-7 and the modifications made.
If the pipette is readjusted, it shall be clearly and unequivocally indicated on the outside of the pipette
that readjustment has been affected. The outside of the pipette shall be marked with the name of the
liquid and the adjusted volume range. This information shall be documented appropriately.
ISO 8655-2:2022(E)
6 Design
6.1 Types of pipette
A pipette may be designed as follows:
— fixed volume, designed by the manufacturer to dispense only its nominal volume, e.g. 100 μl;
— variable volume, designed by the manufacturer to dispense volumes selectable by the user within
its specified usable volume range, e.g. between 10 μl and 100 μl.
The piston may:
— either have a body of air contained between the piston and the surface of the liquid (air displacement
– Type A); or
— be in direct contact with the surface of the liquid (positive or direct displacement – Type D).
In the case of the Type D pipette, either the plunger or the capillary, or both may be reusable (Type D1)
or disposable (Type D2). See Figure 1 for details.
Type D Type A
Positive (direct) displacement Air displacement
a)  Single-channel pipettes b)  Multi-channel pipette
Figure 1 — Pipettes
6.2 Transfer of hand warmth
The construction of pipettes and the materials used for their manufacture shall be chosen in such a way
that any heat transmitted from the user's hand to the apparatus during periods of use is minimized.
NOTE Transfer of hand warmth will appear as a systematic drift of results (the delivered volume decreases
over time) during a series of deliveries.
