18、r iiiForeword ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for whic
19、h a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all ma
20、tters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circ
21、ulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held respons
22、ible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO 8872 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 76, Transfusion, infusion and injection equipment for medical and pharmaceutical use. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 8872:1988), which has been technically revised

ENISO8872:2003iiiIS:2788 O3002(E) vi I SO 3002 All irhgts seredevrIntroduction This International Standard specifies requirements for aluminium caps for vials and bottles in the field of transfusion, infusion and injection. The primary materials from which containers, including their elastomeric c
24、losures, are made have to be suitable for the storage of such products until the products are administered. However, in this International Standard, aluminium caps are not considered as primary packaging materials that will come into direct contact with pharmaceutical preparations or blood. ENISO887

31、s in this table. 3.1.2 Chemical composition The wrought (sheet and strip) used for the manufacture of caps shall be produced from aluminium alloy. The chemical composition shall be verified in accordance with 4.3. 3.2 Caps 3.2.1 Dimensions Aluminium caps shall comply with the dimensions and with the
32、 accepted tolerances as specified in the relevant International Standards. The thickness shall be measured in accordance with 4.4. 3.2.2 Contamination Aluminium caps shall be free from contamination; the presence of residual lubricants shall be reduced to an absolute minimum and burrs shall be avoid
33、ed. 3.2.3 Earing Aluminium caps should be free from earing defects at the cutting processing edge. If earing occurs, the earing defect, as measured in accordance with 4.5, shall not be greater than 3 %. 3.2.4 Crimping Aluminium caps shall fit properly when subjected to the crimping process as descri
34、bed in 4.6. 3.2.5 Resistance of caps 3.2.5.1 Seals that will be terminally steam-sterilized shall be crimped on a vial/closure combination in accordance with 4.6 and tested in accordance with 5.1. The seals shall show no signs of premature opening or deformation. 3.2.5.2 When measured in accordance
35、with the test method described in 4.7 and 4.8, the forces needed to remove the tabs or to tear them off completely shall comply with the limits specified in the relevant International Standards. ENISO8872:20032IS:2788 O3002(E) I SO 3002 All irhgts seredevr 3During removal, the complete tear-off tab
36、shall be torn off only as determined by the score path. When the test in accordance with 4.7 and 4.8 is carried out, no parts of aluminium caps shall break except the bridges and score paths. 3.2.5.3 Seals shall be crimped on a vial/closure combination in accordance with 4.6. When subjected to condi
37、tions as described in 5.2, the seals shall not show any visible alteration at the surface. NOTE Plain aluminium alloys have a tendency to produce spots during treatment in a steam sterilizer. 3.2.6 Coating When tested in accordance with 5.2, the lacquer on the caps which have been subjected to the t
38、ests described in 5.1 shall not show any sign of deterioration of the coating. 4 Test methods 4.1 General The tests shall be carried out on non-sterilized caps (except as specified in 3.2.5.1 and 3.2.5.3). 4.2 Mechanical characteristics The mechanical characteristics (tensile strength and proof stre
39、ss of non-proportional elongation) shall be determined in accordance with ISO 6892. 4.3 Chemical composition The analysis of chemical composition shall be carried out using an accepted method. The cap manufacturer may rely upon a certificate of conformity given by the supplier of the wrought product
40、. 4.4 Dimensions The dimensions shall be measured using an appropriate gauge or a micrometer. The thickness shall be measured at the top area where no deformation has occurred. For measurement of the inner diameter, the use of a pin gauge set or optical comparator is recommended. 4.5 Earing The eari
41、ng (see Figure 1) on the cutting/processing edges of the caps shall be calculated, as a percentage, by comparing the maximum and minimum total heights, measured on the external side, using the following equation: max min min 100 hh h where h maxis the maximum height of the external side of the cap w
42、here earing occurs; h minis the minimum height of the external side of the cap where earing occurs.
