Questions about Product Leak Testing?
 Ask DDL's Expert, Al Gale, Product and Material Testing Engineer

Product leakage testing can help determine the quality of an enclosure, connection, or seal in a product or the integrity of your packaging material. Leakage tests generally involve leakage of air or liquid with internal or external pressurization, and pressure values may be positive or negative.





Luer fittings, catheters, and syringes are a few devices that are commonly tested for leakage.

Shown below are a couple of the standards that employ leakage testing:

 

ISO 594-1 Conical fittings with 6% (Luer) taper for syringes, needles and certain other medical equipment - Part 1: General Requirements
ISO 594-2 Conical fittings with 6% (Luer) taper for syringes, needles and certain other medical equipment - Part 2: Lock Fittings
ISO 7886-1 Sterile hypodermic syringes for single use - Part 1: syringes for manual use
ISO 10555-1 Sterile, single-use intravascular catheters - Part 1: General Requirements.
