DIN EN ISO 5356-1:2015 Conical Connectors

(THIS STANDARD WAS LAST REVIEWED AND CONFIRMED IN 2020. THEREFORE THIS VERSION REMAINS CURRENT.)

ISO 5356-1:2015 specifies dimensional and gauging requirements for cones and sockets intended for connecting anaesthetic and respiratory equipment, e.g. in breathing systems, anaesthetic gas scavenging systems, and vaporizers. The cones and sockets are therefore not regarded as devices in their own right.

It gives requirements for the following cones and sockets: 8,5 mm and 11,5 mm sizes intended for use in neonatal and paediatric breathing systems; 15 mm and 22 mm sizes intended for general use in breathing systems; 22 mm latching sockets (including performance requirements); 23 mm size intended for use with vaporizers, but not for use in breathing systems; 30 mm size intended for the connection of a breathing system to an anaesthetic gas scavenging system.

It does not specify the medical devices and accessories on which these cones and sockets are to be provided.
