ISO 7886-3:2020(E)
Introduction
ISO 7886 was first published in 1984. It was subsequently decided to divide it into two parts: ISO 7886-1
retaining essentially the scope of ISO 7886:1984 and ISO 7886-2 being applicable to sterile, single-use
syringes for use with power-driven pumps.The preparation of this document was recognized as a high priority to prevent the reuse of fixed dose
immunization syringes. Reuse of injection equipment in the absence of sterilization has increasingly led
to transmission of blood-borne pathogens.The World Health Organization (WHO) had produced a specification for syringes that are rendered
inactive after one use (commonly referred to as “auto-disabled” syringes). It was agreed that an
additional part of the ISO 7886 series would be needed to cover “auto-disabled” syringes, while leaving
in place ISO 7886-1 and ISO 7886-2 without modification, as a large number of devices in common use
would not be intended to conform with the auto-disable properties suggested.It has been discussed to limit the syringe types to only comprise the type having an auto-disable
syringe feature that is automatically activated and remains effective from the time that the injection
is commenced. An assessment of potential hazards based only on hypothetical use indicates that the
type having an auto-disable syringe feature that is automatically activated and remains effective from
the time of the injection being initiated is potentially safer than the other types. However, no consensus
could be reached on either deleting types or retaining them, as no reliable risk data from field use
exists at present. It was therefore agreed to retain all types and restrict this revision to alignment with
ISO 7886-1:2017 and initiate a new revision if new field studies or incident reports indicate a need for a
revision.It is recognized that syringes designed to reduce the risk of needle stick injuries can also conform with
this document.In some countries national regulations might take precedence over the requirements in this document.
Guidance on transition periods for implementing the requirements of this document is given in

Part 3:
Auto-disabled syringes for fixed-dose immunization
1 Scope
This document specifies the properties and performance of sterile single-use hypodermic syringes with
an auto-disable syringe feature intended to deliver a fixed dose of vaccine immediately after filling.
The syringes can be made of plastic, rubber or other materials and can be with or without needle and
needle protection feature.This document does not specify the design of the auto-disable syringe feature.
This document is not applicable to syringes for use with insulin (covered by ISO 8537), syringes for
use with power-driven syringe pumps (covered by ISO 7886-2), reuse prevention syringes (covered by
ISO 7886-4) or syringes designed to be prefilled (covered by the ISO 11040 series). It does not address
compatibility with injection fluids/vaccines.2 Normative references

Figure 1 — Schematic representation of auto-disabled syringe for fixed dose5 General requirements
The general requirements listed below are considered to be design input for manufacturers.
a) Syringes shall be free from defects affecting appearance, safety and serviceability for their
intended use. The syringe’s barrel flanges shall be of adequate size, shape and strength for the
intended purpose. The design specifications for the barrel flanges shall be determined through
risk analysis and confirmed through usability validation testing. The materials shall not cause the
syringes to yield, under conditions of normal use, significant amounts of toxic substances and shall
permit them to satisfy the appropriate requirements for freedom from pyrogenic materials and
abnormal toxicity. Materials used in the construction of the wall of the syringe barrel shall have
sufficient clarity to enable dosages to be read without difficulty. This document does not specify
materials to be used for the construction and lubrication of the device, because their selection will

depend, to some extent, upon the manufacturer’s specific syringe design, process of manufacture
and sterilization method.b) Syringes with integrated or add-on sharps protection shall conform with ISO 23908.
c) The length of the barrel shall allow the expulsion of any air bubbles without removal of the plunger
stopper and still inject nominal capacity. The length of the barrel shall be designed to enable
accurate dosage while avoiding unnecessary waste of vaccine.d) Biocompatibility of the syringe shall be established in accordance with ISO 10993-1.
e) The auto-disabled syringe shall be of adequate size, shape and strength for the delivery of vaccine
under normal condition of use. The design specifications for the device shall be determined through
risk analysis and confirmed through usability validation testing.f) The forces required to use a syringe with auto-disable syringe feature shall be appropriate for
the intended users of the device. Although the activation of the auto-disable syringe feature itself
is passive, an appropriate force shall be selected that eases the initiation of the injection. The
appropriate initiation force shall be determined using a risk-based approach in accordance with
