This European Standard specifies requirements for conical lock fittings with a 6 % (Luer)
taper for use with hypodermic syringes and needles and with certain other apparatus for
medical use e.g. transfusion equipment.

The requirements apply to fittings made of rigid and of semi-rigid materials and include test
methods, but exclude provision for more flexible or elastomeric materials.

NOTE 1. It is not practicable to define the characteristics of rigid or semi-rigid
materials with precision, but glass and metal may be considered as typical rigid
materials. In contrast many plastics materials may be regarded as semi-rigid.

NOTE 2. The Luer lock fitting was designed for use at pressures of the order of
300 kPa or lower. Its use in other applications may require consideration to establish
its suitability.
Diese Norm legt Anforderungen für verriegelbare Kegelverbindungen mit einem 6%-(Luer) Kegel fest, die an Einmalspritzen und Injektionskanülen und an bestimmten anderen medizinischen Geräten, wie zB. Transfusionsgeräten, verwendet werden. Die Anforderungen gelten für Kegelverbindungen aus starrem und halbstarrem Werkstoff und schließen Prüfverfahren ein, wobei Festlegungen für weiche und elastomere Werkstoffe ausgenommen sind.
