BS ISO 26825:2008 Anaesthetic and respiratory equipment. User-applied labels for syringes containing drugs used during anaesthesia. Colours, design and performance
BS ISO 26825 gives requirements for labels which the user attaches to syringes so that the contents can be identified just before use during anaesthesia. It covers the colour, size, design and general properties of the label and the typographical characteristics of the wording for the drug name.
BS ISO 26825 does not give requirements for labels applied to a syringe or cartridge by the drug manufacturer.
National or regional regulations might require additional labelling, which can include bar coding. No requirements for this additional labelling are given.
