27、IntroductionElastomeric or rubber closures for pharmaceutical use are used in combination with vials and many times in conjunction with piercing devices. There are three functional parameters which are important to the piercing process. These are penetrability, fragmentation and self-sealing. The th
28、ree functional tests described in this part of ISO 8871 can be used as a reference method for testing elastomeric closures that are pierced using injection needles made from metal. In addition, the aqueous solution tightness test can be used to verify the effectiveness of the sealing of a specific c
29、losure/vial combination.

36、 fragments per 48 piercings visible with the naked eye shall not be greater than 5.4.3 Self-sealing and aqueous solution tightnessWhen tested in accordance with Annex C, none of the vials shall contain any trace of coloured solution when observed with the naked eye. This requirement applies to multi
37、-dose containers only, i.e. containers which utilize elastomeric closures that are pierced multiple times.Materials that meet the requirements are not required to undergo further testing in accordance with 4.4.4.4 Aqueous solution tightnessWhen tested in accordance with Annex D, none of the vials sh
38、all contain any trace of coloured solution when observed with the naked eye.5 Preparation of elastomeric closures for testing5.1 SamplingThe number of closures required for each test is as follows. Penetrability: 10 Fragmentation: 12 Self-sealing and aqueous solution tightness: 10 Aqueous solution t
39、ightness: 10In practice, it is recommended that more than the minimum required number of closures be prepared for testing.5.2 CleaningClosures shall be sterilized in the as-delivered condition. If samples from regular production cleaning processes are not available, the stoppers shall be cleaned in
40、accordance with the following procedure.Introduce an appropriate number of rubber closures in a suitable glass container, cover with particle-free water, boil for 5 min, then rinse five times with cold particle-free water.5.3 SterilizationThe closures shall be tested after having been subjected to t

The force necessary to penetrate or pierce
42、a rubber closure is an important parameter in evaluating the suitability of the closure for its intended use.A.2 PrincipleThe force necessary to completely pierce an elastomeric closure is measured using a suitable apparatus.A.3 Apparatus, equipment and reagentsA.3.1 10 closures, prepared in accorda
43、nce with Clause 5.A.3.2 10 clean vials, in accordance with ISO 8362-1 or ISO 8362-4, neck finish size to match the size of closures (A.3.1) (e.g. 13 mm, 20 mm).A.3.3 10 aluminium or plastic/aluminium crimp seals, in accordance with ISO 8362-3 or ISO 8362-6, sized to match the size of closures (A.3.1
44、) (e.g. 13 mm, 20 mm), and crimping apparatus.A.3.4 10 lubricated long-bevel bevel angle (11 2) metal hypodermic needles, external diameter of 0,8 mm in accordance with ISO 7864.A.3.5 Apparatus, capable of measuring a force of 10 N with an accuracy of 0,25 N.A.4 ProcedureA.4.1 Close the vials (A.3.2
45、) with the closures (A.3.1) to be tested and secure with a crimp seal (A.3.3).A.4.2 Fit the force-measuring apparatus (A.3.5) with a hypodermic needle (A.3.4) and pierce a closure perpendicular to the surface. Record the maximum force. Use a new needle for each of the 9 remaining closures and repeat
46、 the procedure.A.5 Expression of resultsRecord the force required for piercing each closure and compare the test results with the requirement in 4.1.
