CAN/CSA-ISO 5356-2:18

CSA Preface This is the second edition of CAN/CSA-ISO 5356-2, Anaesthetic and respiratory equipment — Conical connectors — Part 2: Screw-threaded weight-bearing connectors , which is an adoption without modification of the identically titled ISO (International Organization for Standardization) Standard 5356-2 (third edition, 2012-11-15). It supersedes the previous edition published in 2008 as CAN/CSA-Z5356-2 (adopted ISO 5356-2:2006). For brevity, this Standard will be referred to as “CAN/CSA-ISO 5356-2“ throughout. This Standard was reviewed for Canadian adoption by the CSA Technical Committee on Perioperative Safety, under the jurisdiction of the CSA Strategic Steering Committee on Health Care Technology & Systems, and has been formally approved by the Technical Committee. This Standard has been developed in compliance with Standards Council of Canada requirements for National Standards of Canada. It has been published as a National Standard of Canada by CSA Group. Scope This part of ISO 5356 specifies dimensional requirements for screw-threaded weight-bearing conical connectors intended for use with inhalation anaesthesia apparatus and ventilators. Such connectors are intended for mounting heavy accessories. This part of ISO 5356 specifies requirements for the following screw-threaded, weight-bearing conical connectors: — 22 mm connectors; — 22 mm/15 mm coaxial connectors. Requirements for the application of screw-threaded, weight-bearing conical connectors are not included in this part of ISO 5356, but are or will be given in the relevant International Standards for specific medical devices and accessories. NOTE Requirements on cones and sockets are specified in ISO 5356-1.
