Foreword
This document (prEN 13014:2006) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 215 “Respiratory and
anaesthetic equipment”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 13014:2000.
This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the
European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive(s).
For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA which is an integral part of this document.
The letter 'R' next to a clause number indicates the presence of a rationale for that clause in annex A.
1 Scope R
This European Standard specifies requirements for construction, dimensions and marking of connectors used
in gas sampling to transfer gas from the breathing system of anaesthetic and respiratory equipment to
diverting gas monitors and back to the breathing system and/or to the anaesthetic gas scavenging system
(AGSS).
This European Standard gives requirements for the following ports and connectors:
 gas sampling port on breathing system;
 gas return port on breathing system and AGSS;
 gas sampling and return ports on diverting gas monitors;
 gas sampling tube inlet and outlet connectors;
 gas return tube inlet and outlet connectors.
This European Standard does not apply to connection ports intended for connection of sensors in the
breathing system.
According to EN 1707, Luer lock fittings are intended to be used for syringes, needles and certain other
medical equipment. In order to minimize the risk of misconnection, this standard specifies the arrangements of
male and female fittings and the marking requirements to identify the different connectors, ports and tubes.
Tables 1 to 4 specify the type of Luer fitting that is used in actual applications.
NOTE 1 Manufacturers are encouraged to use the ports specified in this standard on diverting gas monitors, breathing
systems and AGS systems even if these are currently not required by the specific device standards. It is expected that
requirements for the application of this standard will be included in these particular standards during forthcoming revisions.
Attention is drawn to pEN ISO/FDIS 21647 concerning respiratory gas monitors and the work of CEN/BT/TF 123 Small-
bore connectors.
NOTE 2 During planning and design manufactures will consider the environmental impact from the product during its life
cycle. Environmental aspects are addressed in Annex ZB. Additional aspects of environmental impact are addressed in
EN ISO 14971.

4 Materials and construction
4.1 Cleaning, disinfection and sterilisation
If connectors are intended for re-use, EN 60601-1:1990, 44.7 shall apply.
NOTE Attention is drawn to the fact that some connectors are used, disinfected, or sterilised at elevated
temperatures, and extra care is required when selecting suitable materials.
4.2 Constructional requirements
Materials used shall be selected with regard to:
a) compatibility with substances and gases with which they come into contact during normal use;
b) toxicity;
c) minimization of health risks due to substances leached from materials.
Compliance shall be checked via manufacturer certification.
NOTE 1 Evidence of compliance with the specification(s), either by test or by other methods should be provided by the
manufacturer to a Notified Body during CE conformity assessment or to appropriate authorities on request.
NOTE 2 Consideration should be given to the disposal of packaging waste.
4.3 Alternative constructions
Gas sampling / return tube connectors and gas sampling / return ports using materials, or having forms of
construction different from those detailed in this standard shall be accepted if it can be demonstrated that an
equivalent degree of safety is obtained.
Evidence shall be provided by the manufacturer.
5 Dimensions and tolerances
5.1 Gas sampling ports on breathing systems
The dimensions and tolerances of the port shall be according to EN 1707:1996 and the port type shall be as
given in Table 1.
5.2 Gas return ports on breathing systems or AGSS
The dimensions and tolerances of the port shall comply with EN 20594-1:1993 and shall be provided with a
sleeve in accordance with Figure 2. The port type shall be as given in Table 1.
5.3 Gas sampling ports on diverting gas monitors
The dimensions and tolerances of the port shall be according to EN 1707:1996 and the port type shall be as
given in Table 2.
5.4 Gas return ports on diverting gas monitors
The dimensions and tolerances of the port shall be according to EN 20954-1:1993 and shall be provided with
