EN ISO 23907-2 Protection Against Sharps Injury - Requirements and Test Methods - Part 2: Standard Test for Reusable Sharps Containers

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of EN ISO 23907-2 testing. This standard specifies requirements for reusable sharps containers intended to hold potentially hazardous medical waste, with or without sharps-proofing features, such as scalpel blades, trocars, hypodermic needles, and syringes.

This standard applies to cutting tool containers supplied complete by the manufacturer and those supplied as components intended to be installed by the user. Does not apply to disposable sharps containers (see ISO 23907-1 for such containers). This standard includes design functionality for user safety, lifecycle simulation, cleaning and decontamination, microbiological validation, quality monitoring, and performance testing.

Reusable sharps containers are designed for the storage and disposal of sharps such as scalpel blades, trocars, hypodermic needles and syringes. They come in a wide variety of sizes and can be made from a variety of materials. This standard does not specify the size range of containers or the materials selected to manufacture the containers.

In the design process of cutting tool containers, risk assessment principles should be taken into account as well as human factors to avoid any improper use such as incorrect assembly and overfilling.
