NTM classification: B7: Product quality, safety or performance requirements
Date when the measure came into force: 21 April 2015
Publication where the measure is specified: UGANDA GAZETTE Vol. CVIII No. 20 of 21 April 2015
Regulation where the measure is specified: US ISO 5359:2008, Low-pressure hose assemblies for use with medical gases
Country/Region applying the measure: Uganda
Description of the measure: This Uganda Standard specifies requirements for low-pressure hose assemblies intended for use with the following medical gases: oxygen; nitrous oxide; medical air; helium; carbon dioxide; xenon; specified mixtures of the gases listed above; oxygen-enriched air; air for driving surgical tools; nitrogen for driving surgical tools; vacuum. It is intended in particular to ensure gas-specificity and to prevent cross-connection between systems conveying different gases. These hose assemblies are intended for use at maximum operating pressures of less than 1 400 kPa. This standard specifies the allocation of (NIST), (DISS), (SIS) connectors to medical gases and specifies the dimensions of non-interchangeable screw-threaded (NIST) connectors. This standard does not specify:requirements for coaxial hoses used for the supply and disposal of air for driving surgical tools; andrequirements for electrical conductivity.This standard does not specify the intended uses of hose assemblies.
