EN 1707:1996

EN 1707:1996 is a standard published by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN). Its full title is "Conical fittings with a 6 % (Luer) taper for syringes, needles and certain other medical equipment - Lock fittings". This standard covers: This European Standard specifies requirements for conical lock fittings with a 6 % (Luer) taper for use with hypodermic syringes and needles and with certain other apparatus for medical use e.g. transfusion equipment. The requirements apply to fittings made of rigid and of semi-rigid materials and include test methods, but exclude provision for more flexible or elastomeric materials. NOTE 1. It is not practicable to define the characteristics of rigid or semi-rigid materials with precision, but glass and metal may be considered as typical rigid materials. In contrast many plastics materials may be regarded as semi-rigid. NOTE 2. The Luer lock fitting was designed for use at pressures of the order of 300 kPa or lower. Its use in other applications may require consideration to establish its suitability.
