Overview
ISO 8536-7:2009, "Infusion equipment for medical use - Part 7: Caps made of aluminium‑plastics combinations for infusion bottles", defines requirements for aluminium‑plastics caps used on infusion glass bottles (per ISO 8536‑1). This international standard addresses design, dimensions, tolerances, functional tests and labelling to ensure safe, consistent closures for infusion bottles in clinical and pharmaceutical settings.
Key Topics and Requirements
- Scope and purpose: Specifies caps made of aluminium‑plastics combinations intended for infusion glass bottles; these caps are not considered primary packaging in direct contact with solutions.
- Classification: Two cap types are defined:
- Type ZB: aluminium cap with central opening and plastics component
- Type ZD: aluminium cap with complete tear‑off tab and plastics component
- Dimensions and tolerances: Cap geometry and nominal sizes (examples include 28 and 32) follow the dimensions in the standard and general tolerances in ISO 2768‑1/‑2.
- Construction and materials:
- Aluminium cap requirements reference ISO 8536‑3.
- Plastics component and the aluminium‑plastic interface reference ISO 10985.
- Construction elements must not interfere with the sealing process.
- Functional performance:
- Specified removal forces for plastics component and tear‑off tab (example values: for nominal size 28 - plastics removal max 40 N, tear‑off max 30 N; for size 32 - plastics 60 N, tear‑off 40 N).
- Caps must withstand sterilization per ISO 8872 (see Clause 5.1).
- Packaging and marking: Packaging and marking requirements align with ISO 8872; designation format example: “Cap ISO 8536‑7 - ZD - 32”.
Applications and Who Uses This Standard
ISO 8536‑7:2009 is used by:
- Medical device and closure manufacturers designing aluminium‑plastic caps for infusion bottles.
- Quality assurance and testing labs performing incoming inspection, dimensional checks and removal‑force testing.
- Regulatory and compliance teams ensuring infusion equipment meets international medical device standards.
- Procurement specialists specifying compatible caps for infusion glass bottles.
- Hospital pharmacy and clinical engineering personnel verifying compatibility with infusion bottles and sterilization procedures.
Practical uses include product design validation, supplier qualification, incoming quality control, and ensuring compatibility with sterilization and packaging workflows.

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.
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 circulated 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 responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 8536-7 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 76, Transfusion, infusion and injection equipment
for medical and phamaceutical use.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 8536-7:1999), Clause 2 of which has been
updated.
ISO 8536 consists of the following parts, under the general title Infusion equipment for medical use:
⎯ Part 1: Infusion glass bottles
⎯ Part 2: Closures for infusion bottles
⎯ Part 3: Aluminium caps for infusion bottles
⎯ Part 4: Infusion sets for single use, gravity feed
⎯ Part 5: Burette infusion sets for single use, gravity feed
⎯ Part 6: Freeze drying closures for infusion bottles
⎯ Part 7: Caps made of aluminium-plastics combinations for infusion bottles
⎯ Part 8: Infusion equipment for use with pressure infusion apparatus
⎯ Part 9: Fluid lines for use with pressure infusion equipment
⎯ Part 10: Accessories for fluid lines for use with pressure infusion equipment
⎯ Part 11: Infusion filters for use with pressure infusion equipment
⎯ Part 12: Check valves
Introduction
The materials from which infusion glass bottles (including elastomeric closures) are made are suitable primary
packaging materials for storing infusion solutions until they are administered. However, in this part of
ISO 8536, caps of aluminium-plastics combinations are not considered as primary packaging materials in
direct contact with the infusion solution.
