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 11608-3 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 11608-3:2000), which has been technically revised.

ISO 11608-3:2012(E)
Introduction
This part of ISO 11608 is applicable to containers that are provided pre-filled, or that are to be filled by the user
with medicinal products intended by the manufacturer to be used with needle-based injection systems (NIS),
as covered by ISO 11608.
The previous edition of this part of ISO 11608 introduced the concept of interchangeability and the labelling
designation of Type A (i.e. interchangeable) and non-Type A for needles and containers.
Since its publication, experience has shown that the complexity of these systems makes it very difficult to
ensure functional compatibility as defined in this International Standard, particularly when products are made
by different manufacturers and the design is not verified as a system. The “Type A” designation, therefore,
does not represent adequate guidance to the user in making decisions on the compatibility of needles and
containers with specific NIS. As such, the labelling designation of “Type A” has been removed.
The previous edition of this part of ISO 11608 also only addressed cartridges as the drug container. This was
consistent with the scope of ISO 11608 (all parts), which was previously restricted to cartridge-based injection
pens. The scope of the latest revision of ISO 11608 (all parts) has been expanded beyond pen injectors and
now includes all NIS, resulting in additional possibilities for compatible containers, including syringes to be
used with NIS, and potentially other containers not yet defined. In order to preserve this information, this part
of ISO 11608 maintains those specifications, requirements and dimensions. It is important to stress that the
design requirements related to system function have been maintained as a guide to assist manufacturers
during the design phase in 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. Given the patient
convenience benefits associated with cross-platform compatibility, it is helpful if manufacturers of needles,
containers and NIS label their products with the specific system components that have been tested and
demonstrated to be functionally compatible.
For containers other than cartridges, this part of ISO 11608 can be used as a guide to understand the
parameters and design criteria to be considered in the selection and/or design of containers that will be used
with NIS. It provides performance requirements regarding essential aspects so that variations of design are
not unnecessarily restricted.
The sampling plans for inspection selected for this part of ISO 11608 are intended for design verification 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 management systems, such as the ISO 9000 series and ISO 13485.
There are other international and national standards, guidance materials 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 NIS are encouraged to investigate and
determine if there are any other requirements relevant to the safety or marketability of their products.
