Overview

EN ISO 8536-12:2021 - "Infusion equipment for medical use - Part 12: Check valves for single use" specifies safety and performance requirements for single‑use check valves used with infusion equipment (gravity‑feed and pressure infusion apparatus). The standard also covers the functional requirements for inline check valves and aligns connector requirements with the ISO 80369 small‑bore connector series.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Scope & designation
    • Applies to single‑use check valves and inline check valves for infusion systems.
    • Labelling must follow Clause 9 requirements.
  • Materials & biocompatibility
    • Materials must meet physical, chemical and biological requirements (see ISO 10993‑1 for biological evaluation).
    • If rubber is used, ISO 8871‑1/2 requirements on extractables and characterization apply.
  • Physical performance
    • Particulate contamination: Manufactured and finished to minimize particles; tested per ISO 8536‑4 limits.
    • Leakage: No air leakage when tested (see Clause A.2).
    • Connector compatibility: Inlets/outlets without tube bond ports must use ISO 80369‑compatible connectors.
    • Counterflow pressure resistance: Must withstand 200 kPa in the counterflow direction (Clause A.3).
    • Flow rate: Minimum flow rate of 6 L/h when connected to infusion equipment (Clause A.4).
    • Blocking performance: Valve must close at a counterflow pressure of not more than 2 kPa (Clause A.5).
    • Opening pressure: Valve must open at not more than 2 kPa (Clauses A.6.1/A.6.2); higher opening pressure defines anti‑siphon valves.
  • Sterility, labelling, packaging, disposal
    • Sterility and pyrogenicity requirements included.
    • Detailed labelling (unit and multi‑unit), packaging and disposal guidance are specified (Clauses 9–11).

Applications and users

  • Primary users:
    • Medical device manufacturers of infusion sets and components.
    • Design engineers developing single‑use check valves and inline safety features.
    • Quality & regulatory teams ensuring conformity with European and international standards.
    • Test laboratories performing physical, chemical and biological verification.
    • Procurement and clinical engineering selecting compliant infusion components.
  • Practical applications:
    • Preventing backflow and cross‑contamination in infusion therapy.
    • Providing anti‑siphon protection in gravity feed and pressure infusion systems.
    • Ensuring connector compatibility and patient safety in infusion lines.

Related standards

  • ISO 80369 (all parts) - small‑bore connectors for healthcare
  • ISO 8536‑4 - infusion sets for single use, gravity feed
  • ISO 8871‑1 / ISO 8871‑2 - elastomeric parts (extractables, characterization)
  • ISO 10993‑1 - biological evaluation of medical devices
  • ISO 15223‑1 - medical device symbols and labelling

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.

This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 76, Transfusion, infusion and injection,
and blood processing equipment for medical and pharmaceutical use, in collaboration with the European

accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement).
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 8536-12:2007), which has been
technically revised. It also incorporates the Amendment ISO 8536-12:2007/Amd.1:2012.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— the title of this document has been amended by "for single use";
— Clause 3 has been completely reviewed;
— Clause 4, 'Designation' refers now to 'Labelling';
— the requirement on tensile strength has been deleted;
— the connecting requirements have been aligned to the ISO 80369 series;
— Clause 11 has been added;
— Annex A has been completely updated and aligned with the physical requirements given in Clause 6;
— the normative references have been updated;
— a bibliography has been added;
— complete editorial review.
