Specifies requirements for sterilized, individually packed hypodermic needles intended for use once only. The needle tubes are from 0.45 mm to 1.25 mm in nominal external diameter. The needles have the 6 percent (Luer) fitting. Requirements for the needle tube, mechanical properties, requirements for the hub, dead space limits, packaging and labelling are given. Appendices include tests for extractable metals, pyrogens, toxicity and sterility.

This standard specifies requirements for sterilized individually packed hypodermic needles intended for use once only. The needle tubes are from 0.45 mm to 1.25 mm in nominal external diameter. The needles have the 6 percent (Luer) fitting.NOTE: Advisory information on sampling and assessing for compliance with this standard is given in Appendix P.
