What is BS 1263-1 - All-glass and metal-and-glass syringe dimensions about?
BS 1263 is a European standard that discusses reusable hypodermic syringes for medical use. BS 1263-1 is the first part of the multi-part series that outlines the dimensions for reusable all-glass or metal-and-glass syringes for medical use, having a graduated capacity from 1 to 100 ml.
BS 1263-1 also outlines requirements for the graduated capacity of syringes.
BS 1263-1 layout the design, the performance requirements, and the corresponding test methods for reusable syringes.
Note: The term “all-glass syringe” relates to syringes with a barrel and piston made entirely of glass, with either a glass or a metal nozzle. The term “metal-and-glass syringe” relates to syringes with a glass barrel, a metal nozzle, and a piston which may be either metal or partially metal.
Who is BS 1263-1 - All-glass and metal-and-glass syringe dimensions for?
BS 1263-1 on dimensions of all-glass and metal-and-glass syringe dimensions is useful for:
- All-glass and metal-and-glass syringe manufacturers
- Test centres and any person involved in the testing of all-glass and metal-and-glass syringes
- Design engineers
Why should you use BS 1263-1 - All-glass and metal-and-glass syringe dimensions?
The hypodermic syringe is a hollow needle commonly used with a syringe to inject a substance into the body or extract fluids from it. They may also be used for liquid samples from the body.
BS 1263-1 provide you with a range of sizes, designation of dimensions and dimensions of all-glass and metal-and-glass syringe syringes that assist in manufacturing syringes of the correct and required size.
BS 1263-1 also guides regarding the numbering, position and minimum length of the graduated scale, fiducial line of the piston, and nozzle to improve the quality standards of all-glass and metal-and-glass syringes.
BS 1263-1 also assist in determining the capacity of syringes and provides you with the tolerance on the graduated capacity and other capacities.
With obedience and compliance to BS 1263-1, you can enhance the efficacy of all-glass and metal-and-glass syringes. In addition, reduces hazards to operators and patients.
