ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).

Introduction
This International Standard contains requirements for breathing sets, breathing tubes, and connectors
that are intended to function as accessories to anaesthetic and respiratory equipment. Breathing sets
and breathing tubes are characterized by certain design requirements such as a means of connection
and leakage limits. Disclosure requirements for compliance and flow resistance values allow the user
to make an informed choice when connecting these accessories to a breathing system. These design
requirements are intended to allow operation within the limits of performance of the anaesthetic
breathing systems and ventilator breathing systems with which the accessories are intended to
operate.
This International Standard includes requirements for both single-use and reusable breathing sets
and breathing tubes. Re-usable breathing sets and breathing tubes are intended to comply with the
requirements of this International Standard for the recommended service life.
Certain tests are performed under constant pressure to simplify the test methodology. It is recognized
that this does not reflect clinical use, where pressure is intermittent and peak pressures occur for short
periods. The limits in the test methods take this into account. While such test methods do not address
product variability, the limits required also take this into account.
Terms defined in this International Standard are set in bold type.
Throughout this International Standard, text for which a rationale is provided in Annex A is indicated
by an asterisk (*).
Throughout this International Standard, all pressures are denoted in SI units of hPa with corresponding
cmH O equivalent values rounded to the nearest whole cmH O.
2 2
NOTE The unit cmH O is not an SI notation and is not used in ISO documents; rounded cmH O values are
2 2
given for information only to allow comparison to medical literature and related breathing system standards.

1 Foreword
2 ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
3 (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
4 technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
5 established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
6 non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
7 International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
8 International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
9 The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
10 adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
11 International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
12 Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
13 rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
14 ISO 5367 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 121, Anaesthetic and respiratory equipment,
15 Subcommittee SC 2, Airways and related equipment, Working Group (WG 3) which consisted of experts from
16 ISO/TC 121 subcommittees SC 1, SC 2, and SC 3.
17 This fifth edition cancels and replaces the fourth edition (ISO 5367:2000), which has been technically revised.
18 The following major changes were made:
19 - title and scope;
20 - additional normative references;
21 - additional terms and definitions;
22 - additional general requirements, including risk management, usability, clinical and biophysical research;
23 - requirements for coaxial tubing, revised leakage limits, and testing for flow resistance and compliance;
24 - revised limits for prevention of electrostatic charges;
25 - revised requirements for marking of packaging, including use of symbols, disclosure of intended patient
26 category, flow resistance, and compliance;
27 - added an annex for a rationale;
28 - added annex for hazard identification for risk assessment;
29 - revised test method annexes for resistance to flow, security of attachments, leakage, and compliance;
30 - added annex for compliance with the EU Directives.

33 Introduction
34 This International Standard contains requirements for breathing sets, breathing tubes, and connectors that are
35 intended to function as accessories to anaesthetic and respiratory equipment. Breathing sets and breathing
36 tubes are characterized by certain design requirements such as a means of connection and leakage limits.
37 Disclosure requirements for compliance and flow resistance values and labelling allow the user to make an
38 informed choice when connecting these accessories to a breathing system. These design requirements are
39 intended to allow operation within the limits of system performance of the anaesthetic breathing systems and
40 ventilator breathing systems with which the accessories are intended to operate.
41 This International Standard includes requirements for both single-use and reusable breathing sets and
42 breathing tubes. Re-usable breathing sets and breathing tubes are intended to comply with the requirements
43 of this International Standard for the recommended service life.
44 Certain tests are performed under constant pressure to simplify the test methodology. It is recognized that this
45 does not reflect clinical use, where pressure is intermittent and peak pressures occur for short periods. The limits
46 in the test methods take this into account. Whilst such test methods do not address product variability, the limits
47 required also take this into account.
48 Terms defined in this document are set in bold type.
49 Throughout this standard, text for which a rationale is provided in Annex A is indicated by an asterisk (*).
50 Throughout this standard, all pressures are denoted in SI units of hPa with corresponding cmH O equivalent
2
51 values rounded to the nearest whole cmH O.
2
52 NOTE The unit cmH O is not in SI notation and is not allowed in ISO documents; rounded cmH O values are given
2 2
53 for information only to allow comparison to medical literature and related breathing system standards.

57 connectors
58 1 Scope
59 * This International Standard specifies basic requirements for antistatic and non-antistatic breathing sets,
60 breathing tubes, and breathing tubes supplied to be cut to length, intended to be used with anaesthetic
61 apparatus and ventilators, humidifiers and nebulizers. It also applies to breathing sets and breathing tubes and
62 patient end adaptors supplied already assembled and to those supplied as components and assembled in
63 accordance with the manufacturers' instructions.
64 This International Standard is applicable to breathing sets and breathing tubes having ends incorporating
65 adaptors with conical connectors (assembled ends) or with plain ends (either cylindrical or tapered).
66 This International Standard is applicable to breathing sets which include special components (e.g. water traps)
67 between the patient end and machine end which are supplied already assembled.
68 This International Standard is not applicable to breathing sets and breathing tubes for special purposes, such
69 as those used with ventilators having special compliance, pressure, or breathing frequency requirements.
70 NOTE 1 Examples of these breathing sets may include High Frequency Oscillatory Ventilation, (HFOV), or High
71 Frequency Jet Ventilation (HFJV).
72 Provision is made for coaxial and related bifurcated, double lumen, or multiple lumen breathing sets and
73 breathing tubes suitable for use with patient end adaptors.
74 NOTE 2 Examples of various types of breathing sets with patient end adaptors are depicted in Annex A.
75 Requirements for exhalation valves, exhaust valves, and adjustable pressure-limiting (APL) valves and
76 reservoir bags, if provided, are not covered by this standard.
77 NOTE 3 ISO 80601-2-12, ISO 80601-2-13 and ISO 5362 cover these.
