Small-bore connectors for liquids and gases in healthcare applications — Part 20: Common test methods

The ISO 80369-20 standard specifies the test methods to evaluate the performance requirements for small-bore connectors specified in the ISO 80369- series.

The test methods include:

• Leakage by pressure decay (Annex B)
• Positive pressure liquid leakage (Annex C)
• Subatmospheric-pressure air leakage (Annex D)
• Stress cracking (Annex E)
• Resistance to separation from axial load (Annex F)
• Resistance to separation from unscrewing (Annex G)
• Resistance to overriding (Annex H)
• Disconnection by unscrewing (Annex I)
• Modification of the test methods to generate variable data for statistical analysis (Annex J, attributive testing versus variable testing)
