Elastomeric parts for parenterals and for devices for pharmaceutical use - Part 1 : extractables in aqueous autoclavates

ISO 8871-1:2003 defines procedures for classifying elastomeric parts for primary packs and medical devices used in direct contact with preparations for parenteral use, including both aqueous preparations and dry preparations which have to be dissolved before use.It specifies a series of comparative test methods for chemical evaluation by the determination of extractables in aqueous autoclavates and describes the various fields of application for elastomeric parts. Dimensions and functional characteristics are specified in the relevant International Standards. Required properties as specified in this part of ISO 8871 are regarded as minimum requirements.Elastomeric parts for empty syringes for single use are excluded from the scope of this part of ISO 8871 as they are not in contact with the injected preparation for a significant length of time.Compatibility studies with the intended preparation have to be performed before the approval for final use can be given; however, this part of ISO 8871 does not specify procedures for carrying out compatibility studies.

Dimensions and functional characteristics are specified in the relevant International Standards. Required properties as specified in this part of ISO 8871 are regarded as minimum requirements.

Elastomeric parts for empty syringes for single use are excluded from the scope of this part of ISO 8871 as they are not in contact with the injected preparation for a significant length of time.

ZOOM ON ... the Requirements department
To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
