Foreword
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 which 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 matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
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 responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation on the meaning of ISO specific terms and expressions related to conformity
assessment, as well as information about ISO’s adherence to the WTO principles in the Technical
Barriers to Trade (TBT) see the following URL: Foreword - Supplementary information.
The committee responsible for this document is ISO/TC 84, Devices for administration of medicinal
products and catheters.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 9626:1991), which has been technically
revised. It also incorporates the Amendment ISO 9626:1991/Amd 1:2001.
The main changes to the previous edition of ISO 9626 introduced by this revision are the following:
a) addition of specifications for stainless steel needle tubing for metric sizes 0,18 mm, 0,2 mm
0,23 mm and 0,25 mm and to reflect the introduction of thinner tubing to allow greater comfort
when injecting, particularly for infants and in paediatric use;
b) addition of wall thickness designations beyond regular-walled and thin-walled tubing;
c) addition of minimum inner diameters for additional items where possible;
d) revision of the means of specifying the steels to be used;
e) revision of the table of tubing dimensions and stiffness parameters.
Annex A, Annex B, Annex C, Annex D and Annex E form an integral part of this International Standard.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 9626:2016(E)
Stainless steel needle tubing for the manufacture of
medical devices — Requirements and test methods
1 Scope
This International Standard applies to rigid stainless steel needle tubing suitable for use in the
manufacture of hypodermic needles and other medical devices primarily for human use.
This International Standard provides requirements and test methods for the tubes manufactured for
needles as component used in medical devices. Additional performance testing on the tube aspect may
be required when the component is incorporated in the ready-to-use device.
This International Standard specifies the dimensions and mechanical propertie
