DIN EN 13868 - Catheters - Test methods for kinking of single lumen catheters and medical tubing

This standard specifies the test methods for kinking properties for single lumen catheters and medical tubing, as presented for clinical use, when bent in a single plane. Water is used as a standard test medium, as the purpose of this standard is to ensure uniformity in the evaluation of tubing kink properties.

This method is designed for single-lumen tubing, but it can also be used for multi-lumen tubing.
