ISO 8871-1:2003
Elastomeric parts for parenterals and for devices for pharmaceutical use -- Part 1: Extractables in aqueous autoclavates
Product Details
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.
