DIN EN ISO 23907-1:2017-10

This draft standard specifies requirements for single use sharps containers intended to hold potentially hazardous sharps medical waste with or without sharps protection features, e. g. scalpel blades, trocars, hypodermic needles and syringes. This standard covers sharps containers that are supplied complete by the manufacturer and those that are supplied as components intended to be assembled by the user. It does not apply to reusable sharps containers or the outer containers used in the transportation of filled single-use sharps containers.
