EVS-EN ISO 80369-20:2024

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

The main changes in ISO 80369-20 are as follows:
— clarification that these test methods are also used by the ISO 18250 series,
— major technical revision of the test methods described in Annex B “Leakage by pressure decay test method” and Annex D “Subatmospheric-pressure air leakage test method” (replacement of leakage rate by the pressure change as acceptance criterion; definition of three defined mandatory test conditions; more information about this change is included in Annex A),
— introduction of a new attributive test method “Air leakage during aspiration” as Annex K,
— definition for the type test has been updated,
— expansion of the range of environmental test conditions for relative humidity,
— extension of requirements for test reports.

ISO 80369-20:2024 text has been approved in Europe as EN ISO 80369-20:2024 without any changes.
