Part B: Supplementary Information Sheet (SIS)
FR Recognition List Number 065 Date of Entry 12/22/2025 
FR Recognition Number 6-439
Standard
ISO  7886-2 Second edition 2020-04
Sterile hypodermic syringes for single use - Part 2: Syringes for use with power-driven syringe pumps
Scope/Abstract
This document specifies requirements for sterile single-use hypodermic syringes of nominal capacity 1 ml and above, made of plastic materials and intended for use with power-driven syringe pumps.
This document does not apply to syringes with auto-disable syringe features (ISO 7886-3[2]), syringes for use with insulin (ISO 8537[3]), single-use syringes made of glass, syringes prefilled with the injection by the manufacturer and syringes supplied with the injection as a kit for filling by a pharmacist. It does not address compatibility with injection fluids.
Extent of Recognition
Partial recognition. The following part(s) of the standard is (are) not recognized:
Clause 11 Syringe dimensions
Clause 16 Information supplied by the manufacturer
Subclause 16.3 Unit packaging
Subclause 16.4.1 General
Subclause 16.4.2 Multiple unit packs with self-contained syringes
Subclause 16.5 User packaging
Subclause 16.6 Storage container
Rationale for Recognition
This standard is relevant to medical devices and is recognized on its scientific and technical merit and/or because it supports existing regulatory policies.

This standard is recognized in part because:

Clause 11 - Figure 1 and Table 1 are missing or inadequately prescribing acceptable critical dimensions and/or tolerances to support the claim "Suitable for use with power-driven syringe pumps" in Clause 16. Inadequate detection and fluid delivery performance may result in delayed therapy or improper dosing (see References 1 & 2 below).

Clause 16 - The excluded subclauses (16.3, 16.4.1, 16.4.2, 16.5, and 16.6) all state that the packaging and/or container "shall be marked with the following information: 'Suitable for use with power-driven syringe pumps'"; however, syringes that meet this standard have resulted in delayed therapy or inadequate dosing due to a lack of dimensional and/or performance-related design controls (see Reference 1 & 2 below). The statement "Suitable for use with power-driven syringe pumps" is dependent on all relevant syringe design features being adequately specified, tested, and controlled.
