This standard is developed in accordance with the rules given in GB/T 1.1-2009 Directives for standardization - Part 1: Structure and drafting of standards.
This standard replaces YY/T 0243-2003 Plunger of sterile syringes for single use.
The following main technical changes have been made with respect to YY/T 0243-2003:
——The "Annex A (informative) Material guidelines" is added, and the biological evaluation requirements are modified;
——The requirements for ultraviolet absorbance are added;
——The ash requirements are added;
——The test method of discoloration is modified;
——The "Annex C (informative) Test method for permanent compression rate of plungers" is added.
——The amount of leachate in preparation of plunger seal's test solution in Annex D is modified.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some content of this document may involve patents. The issuing body of this document shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This standard was proposed by China Food and Drug Administration.
This standard is under the jurisdiction of National Technical Committee on Medical Syringe (Needle) of Standardization Administration of China.
The previous editions of this standard are as follows:
