ISO 8536-4:2007(E)
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 8536-4 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 76, Transfusion, infusion and injection equipment
for medical and pharmaceutical use.
This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition (ISO 8536-4:2004), of which it constitutes a minor
revision.
ISO 8536 consists of the following parts, under the general title Infusion equipment for medical use:
⎯ Part 1: Infusion glass bottles
⎯ Part 2: Closures for infusion bottles
⎯ Part 3: Aluminium caps for infusion bottles
⎯ Part 4: Infusion sets for single use, gravity feed
⎯ Part 5: Burette infusion sets for single use, gravity feed
⎯ Part 6: Freeze drying closures for infusion bottles
⎯ Part 7: Caps made of aluminium-plastics combinations for infusion bottles
⎯ Part 8: Infusion equipment for use with pressure infusion apparatus
⎯ Part 9: Fluid lines for use with pressure infusion equipment
⎯ Part 10: Accessories for fluid lines for use with pressure infusion equipment
⎯ Part 11: Infusion filters for use with pressure infusion equipment

Infusion equipment for medical use —
Part 4:
Infusion sets for single use, gravity feed
1 Scope
This part of ISO 8536 specifies requirements for single use, gravity feed infusion sets for medical use in order
to ensure their compatibility with containers for infusion solutions and intravenous equipment.
Secondary aims of this part of ISO 8536 are to provide guidance on specifications relating to the quality and
performance of materials used in infusion sets and to present designations for infusion set components.
In some countries, the national pharmacopoeia or other national regulations are legally binding and take
precedence over this part of ISO 8536.

3 General requirements
3.1 The nomenclature to be used for components of infusion sets and of a separate air-inlet device is given
in Figures 1, 2 and 3. These figures illustrate examples of the configuration of infusion sets and air-inlet
devices; other configurations may be used provided they lead to the same results. Infusion sets as illustrated
in Figure 2 should only be used for collapsible plastics containers. Infusion sets as illustrated in Figure 2 used
with separate air-inlet devices as illustrated in Figure 3, or infusion sets as illustrated in Figure 1, shall be used
for rigid containers.
